A crucial win v a poor Exeter side put us 5pts ahead with 5 games left fo play.
The disappointing thing yesterday was the missed opportunity to put Exeter behind us on GD.
They had +6 on us yesterday so with every goal being +2 a 3 0 will would have levelled things out.
3 huge chances in the first 8 minutes.
Let's hope it doesn't go to GD.
That said our remaining 5 fixtures see us away at:
Stevenage
Wycombe
Reading
These teams sat 7th, 8th and 6th spots so everything to play for, for them.
Our home games see Posh next Sat and then Orient land.
As much as the Baadiff point surprised me I cant see more than a single point on the road, and I think we'll be lucky to get that. Our away form has been shocking this season.
A win from either of the 2 home games, coupled with a point on the road would take us to 52 pts and 9 ahead of Exeter.
They would then need 3 wins from their remaining 5 games.
Bear in mind that they are winless in 15.
Those 5 games are:
Donny (h)
Plymuff (a)
Stockport (h)
Burton (a)
Bradford (h)
Stockport & Plymouth are hard games for most teams atm.
The other 3 are winnable but it would take a herculean effort, but as our last 4 games have shown a sudden upturn in fortune is possible.
Like I said, I just hope we don't live to regret those missed chances.
