The only result that would be a real shock is MK Dons vs Barnsley. I fancy Accrington to draw with Cambridge.  Morecambe, Cambridge and Oxford (if Accrington are already relegated) have 2 very winnable games against weaker sides with nothing to play for. I also fancy MK Dons at Burton last game. If we hadn't won on Saturday we'd now be very much in the mix. I think one of Morecambe or Cambridge will go down on 47 points. In some ways it's good for us needing a point on Saturday,  a lot of players still have a lot to prove. If Cambridge, Oxford and MK Dons all win Saturday it will be a very uncomfortable week.

And looking at the top of the table Barnsley have nothing to play for in the last 2 games, might be saving themselves for the playoffs. Sheff W 5 points in front of them and Bolton 10 behind so they look nailed on for fourth spot.

I fancy us to get  four points from last two games.

My reading of the table is that we are now safe. Looks like Accrington are going for their standard end of season miracle and may hook Oxford / MK Dons. Morecambe with their goalscorer fit may do likewise.

Massive momentum builder for accrington tonight, big game at home for them Sunday against Cambridge who have lost their last 2 and seem to have ran out of puff

Great results for both Accrington & Oxford last night! We're still not mathematically clear yet.

My forecast for the end of the season would be:-

• Vale                50
• Oxford           48
• Cambridge    45
• MKD               44
• Accie              43
• FGR                28

My forecast for the end of the season would be:-

• Vale                50
• Oxford           48
• Cambridge    45
• MKD               44
• Accie              43
• FGR                28

For some reason I feel we will beat Charlton and finish on 52

Morecambe will defy the odds and stay up by winning their last 2 games. They managed it last year,

going to the final match. 42 points was enough then.

[JRC]

My guess 

Oxford          50

Vale               50

Cambridge   47

Morecambe 47

Mk Dons       46

Accrington    42

FGR.               27

Going to be more this season.

MK Dons deserve to go down as have been consistently hopeless all year. Can’t recall them ever being higher than about 5th bottom?

Oxford not so good for us but the Accy win was epic because it keeps them in the game going into their home match on Satdee against Cambridge. If Cambridge lose or draw they can't then catch us putting us mathematically safe. C'mon Accy!

[NorthwoodValiant]

I hope Morecambe stay up so they can keep their record of never been relegated

And here are the teams they'll face

Oxford: FGR (already relegated, away); Accrington (home) 

MK Dons: Barnsley (safely in the play-offs, home); Burton (safe from relegation, away)

Cambridge: Accrington (away); Burton (away); FGR (home)

Looking at those fixtures, it looks unlikely that we'll slide into the drop zone but remember Sod's Law - if it can happen, it will. So the only way to stop it is to get at least a point at Charlton on Saturday. Then we really will be safe.

Good point…. 🙈

sneak them in with 44, so massive amount for those clubs to fight for.
