Spot on with that, also burton playing Oxford. Would want Oxford to Win but that would then give them confidence ahead of our game on Saturday but burton losing would be a great result.1-0 at H/t, Gillingham got Northampton tomorrow so I want Gills to win, keep the 3rd place wide open for us.

They would be catchable has we beaten them on New Year day, we have to keep our run going and all I care about is the 3rd place!
We need to win 14 out of our remaining 18 games to achieve 85 points, which should see us safely into third place (84 points were needed last season). It does look as though 82 points may be enough this term, so 13 wins will do us nicely. But we've only won 12 out of our first 28 matches...... Get fit soon, Britt!!!

If we have any ambitions of going up we need to play alot better... the win on saturday masks what has been a poor turn of results in the new year having lost key players. I remain to be convinced that Spillane is the next Mkandawire, and while Laird and Assombalonga are out of the team we need to continue to pick up lucky results. I agree that we need to focus on aiming for third as Port Vale and Gills look gone now. They were catchable before xmas but we are a weaker side now..
Gillingham and Port Vale are in exactly the same place as we were this time last season. I still think they will both go up, as even with bad runs they will end up with 80 odd points. There is no reason we can't be in that mix with them and end up with around 80 points as well, but it will take some doing.
3rd place is well within reach, and maybe even 2nd if one of the top two have a bad run.
Please do not rule out Bradford in this, I know their cup run has taken over a bit like it did us but I am sure they will also be in the mix at the end of the season.
