Yes, I know there is still a mathematical chance we may not make the play-offs............there's probably a similar chance that Lord Lucan will appear to present the trophy at the Final. So, I thought it may be interesting to speculate who our opponents are likely to be on the weekend 10/11th May.
I was going to use the 'Talk about tight' thread and open it up to concern the top as well as the bottom but that's been dispatched to other pastures. Tight it certainly is, at the top and with a fascinating set of fixtures for the last two weekends. Let's assume Scunthorpe (one point needed and undefeated since the stone age) are promoted, it then leaves six clubs fighting it out for the remaining automatic and play-off positions. On paper Rochdale have the easiest task whilst the rest, in all but one game, face each other!

I thought it would be easy to predict who we are likely to play............yet, it's anything but! at a push I'd go for the table finishing as it presently stands, thus giving us a play-off semi-final against Burton. Our fixture this weekend is intruiging and certainly, Fleetwood have rather more to play for. A win would be essential in order to keep their slim automatic hopes alive.
