Run-In Confidence

With MK, Colchester, Salford and Bradford coming up next, I'd say the Newport game is the last chance saloon for any auto-hopes. Get onto 65pts asap and build some confidence and spark a run.
It should be treated as a must win and any talk about the performance if we get 1pt or less would be completely hollow now.

I'm in agreement with this. With one win in the last six games it means we've got to beat Newport if we want to keep in the mix for automatic promotion places and it's realistically only 3rd place up for grabs with us trailing Walsall and Bradford by 8 and 7 points respectively.

Also a win will see us keep that 3 and 4 point gap between us and Grimsby, Colchester and Crewe. The last thing we want is those three closing that gap and then us having to battle with them for the lower two play-off places.

At the minute we are in the mix for 3rd place with Doncaster, Port Vale and Wimbledon and that's the one we want to be staying in. Plus we have a +7 goal difference on Port Vale and Doncaster and that could be worth an extra point at the end of the season.
