    The average league position of our remaining opponents…

    …is 8.5 which is where Mansfield currently are. We have by far the most difficult run-in of all the top 8 teams:

    CUFC. 8.5
    Salford 12
    Stevenage 12
    Orient 12.2
    Northampton 12.4
    Mansfield 13
    Stockport 13.4
    Bradford 14

    Bradford are handily placed and I expect them to pick up significant points and be contenders for the top three. They have games against teams that are currently in 16th, 17th, 18th, 20th, 22nd, 23rd and 24th positions.

    Our chances depend on us seeing off all the other teams in the top six; draws would help, wins would be even better.

    Mansfield’s position looks good at least for the playoffs but we’ll know more after their next four games which are all against teams in the top eight.

    In short, we have a difficult job but momentum. We can afford few slips and others have games in hand on us. It’ll be tight.

    Imo opinion the final 4/5 games will produce some surprises as the clubs near the drop start to panic and the clubs at the top think beating them as a formality

    At the end of the day its what we do that is important. The recent results show a lot of inconsistency by teams interspersed with some good runs.
