not quite...
Let's go there, park the bus, let the tyres down and bore them to a 0-1 with a late goal on the break.Pity Stevenage couldn't have held on but we'll take that very happily.
Beat Mansfield, we are well away.
Their draw today makes it very possible indeed, especially if we beat Mansfield.I think MKDs result makes it mathematically possible that we could (very theoretically) win promotion at their place.
If we both won all our matches up to that fixture we'd be 12 points ahead of them. If we beat them we'd be 15 points ahead with 15 points left to play for...
but Mansfield would be a point further behind if they also won all their matches up to and including that weekend (excluding Monday).
Their draw today makes it very possible indeed, especially if we beat Mansfield.
Don't forget Tranmere can also get 88, although it is extremely unlikely with their fixtures.Yes. Actually my maths is wrong but the theoretical possibility is correct. Win all our matches up to and including MKD and that's promotion whatever anyone else does. Was just checking because I'm hoping to go to MKD.
I'm not suggesting it will happen or counting chickens - just looking at what's possible.

Although Tranmere do still have to play MK Dons (among other tasty fixtures) so lone of the two can't get maximum points...Party poopers. We’ll have to hope they drop points before we do. If we can just get past the Stags it looks very possible as you say. Fingers crossed.
