Tough month for Cheltenham!!

Or a massive opportunity ??

Or a massive opportunity ??

True. Although going by their recent results, I think they may well go on a slide rather rapidly...

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Be nice if Swindon beat Cheltenham and Torquay.
Swindon will win the league anyway, so they could do us a massive favour.

Thats the thing, so many rivals playing each other that the points required for promotion in my opinion will be quite low. I think 6 wins from 12 will be enough. There will be many surprise results and there are teams down the bottom and in mid table, the likes of Northampton, Bristol Rovers, Aldershot who are capable of taking points off anyone.

Absolutely. As long as we win, so many points will be dropped elsewhere around us we could find ourselves very handily placed after that evening.

Looking further ahead there are only 10 fixtures between the top 12 in April featuring mainly those chasing the play off spots

If it does go to the last day then there's some rather interesting games with Swindon, Cheltenham, Shrewsbury and Torquay all visiting sides with relegation concerns, we have Macclesfield and Rotherham Northampton all of which could play into Crawleys hands as they visit Accrington

Lets be honest though its all up in the air, who gave Northants a prayer at Cheltenham today, yet they came within a whisker of all 3 points

Yep Northampton were 2 up at Cheltenham before drawing 2-2.

Just can't hold a lead that lot. Northampton this season could be 4-0 up after 85 minutes and still contrive to avoid victory!

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Personally,I think May 5th, SUFC (H)to Maccs is going to be a very important game.:winking:

 

[canveyshrimper]

We're undefeated in March thus far. :smile:

Agreed, Swindon winning every game now would help us, shame they lost yesterday.

EDIT and BUMP

I've written off the chances of Aldershot, Rotherham and Port Vale after tonights games, okay Vale won 3-0 but will enter admin on Friday and lose 10 points

I've also brought Oxford and Gillingham into the main group as Ox have proved they are capable of automatic these past 2 games, add in the form of us, Creepy and Chelts and it really is up for grabs

Oh and March 20 is STILL looking interesting
