When Luggy spoke about our JPT first-leg at Orient, he talked about the need to stay in the tie. Well, one could well speak of our next five league fixtures in February as games to keep our automatic promotion hopes alive. A series of poor results and we could find ourselves fighting just to be one of the contenders in the play-off lottery. So, what are the minimum requirements and the likely haul of points over the next weeks? I'm not proposing this thread as competion to the 'predictor league', more a compliment to it.
For me the absolute minimum to stay in contention is eight points from the next five and that, strangely is what I would estimate.
A Accrington win 3points
H Cheltenham lose 0
H Northampton draw 1
A Wycombe draw 1
A Barnet win 3
Three wins and two defeats would be a better outcome but all in all I believe that our automatic aspirations will be far clearer come the end of the month. Some will argue, perhaps correctly, that the first two games in March (H Rotherham & A Port Vale) should be added to this mix but I think that the kind of form we go into these two difficult matches with, will be a very important factor in their outcome.
