I think a pos 46 more points there.

Late-Feb is really going to be make-or-break time

I estimated around 40 more points...79 points in total! Last season the lowest play-off place was 81...

So 41 points between now and the end of the season, slightly optomistic I think, would see us ending up with total of 80 points, surely enough for a play-off place?

I put this up on the other thread, but probably might be of more use here:

Looking at it cant see us lossing more than 3 games,should be looking at 12 points out of the next 15 points

I think we are going to he to massively over-perform to only lose three games based on the fact that we still have to play Oxford, Kiddie, Mansfield and Wrexham away and play Oxford, Stevenage, Crawley, Luton and Wrexham at home.

Yeah i agree i looked at the remaining fixtures and thought it looked quite tough. We'll do very well to get into the play offs, and i think its being optimistic - although thats only natural for fans really.

I did a quick count and can see us getting another 35 points realistically imo. That puts us on 74, which probably won't be a play off place, but that is a great improvement on last season.

I do think though if we can get rid of the odd silly games, like altrincham, salisbury and forest green, we won't be far off at all.

I also think there is no better manager atm to try & get us in the play offs than Justin
