Are you going to do the same for a Vale promotion scenario? 😄

The Vale do 😬

The bookies rarely lose.

I might start a 'how will the mid table teams finish the season'?

JCH wont help them defensively! They looked miles off, but oddly their forward line looked the only decent part aside from the keeper. Lincoln could be a bit of a dark horse to slip into trouble, lost 4 drew 2 of the last 6 and seem way out of form.

Reading is a pivotal game for me, a must win. We win and theres a nice gap, lose and there isn't so nice of a gap. Big statement needed from the lads on Saturday

I think Fleetwood are as good as down and couldn't happen to a nicer club. Despite a better run of form currently Reading will also go down due to the off-field chaos and the forthcoming redundancies. I think Carlisle will also drop down as I don't think they have enough quality even with the new owners slapping a bit of cash about. I think Clarke will keep Cheltenham up looking at the upturn in form since he took over and so place for a team to go on a stinker of a run. Could be us, Cambridge, Burton, Shrewsbury or my pick, Exeter. Bottom four; Fleetwood Carlisle Reading Exeter
