Newport also without Robbie Willmott, Priestley Farquharson, Josh Pask and Courtney Baker-Richardson. Telford and Azaz the men to watch I believe.

If we beat Newport I will truly believe we are going up automatically Will be very tough, we know their strengths so will need to be on form defensively and hopefully a little more clinical in the final 3rd than last night. They've had some good results against the top teams Prediction: 1-1

Now that's a real possibility, but the top 6 or 7 or no mugs and we'll have to be in our form to get there.

Just so you know, I stick a few Bob on rovers to win and usually a player to score. Today I got both Evans and the result. The winnings for the last 3 times I’ve put on rovers promotion. Currently if rovers are promoted I get £2950 I’m gonna keep doing this. Win at Newport and this will look less like gambling and more like an investment. Up the gas and the great thing about this club is that even people whom I disagree with massively I can still enjoy this moment with them. I’d always trust a gashead with a tenner, even Yatton ;-) i wouldnt dare make that bet as i would want to mitigate the damage if we fail to get promoted . i dont want to add to it by losing nearly £3k as well . i put £20 on at 16:1 a few weeks ago but you can still get 10:1 which is good odds when you consider that Salford are 5 and Sutton at 2 in places This is an interesting psychological conundrum, as I’ve always backed rovers like this. I want an enhanced experience - win if rovers win. I don’t feel like I’ve lost the money if we lose as all I’ve lost is my stake. I don’t expect to win bets and see it as an expense and dead money

I don’t expect to win bets and see it as an expense and dead money Of course you can always look at hedging your bets by laying on Betfair - Rovers can be laid at 8/1 as I write so assuming you have backed at greater than this you could cover some of your stake and actually increase your effective odds.

I think FGR are up, although I think they will drop more points in the run in I don't think they will drop enough - they might not end up as Champions (Prediction Autos).
Mansfield - are a very good and dangerous side, I think Clough is the best manager in the league and I wouldnt want them in the playoffs (Prediction - Playoffs). Exeter - again i think are very strong difficult to play against, not got the best record (Prediction Champs).
Personally i think one of these will go up automatically. These I think are the best sides but you know one of them will end up playoffs.
the rest are; Newport - I dont think they have enough (miss) Port Vale - starting to fall away, I think we should have taken something from the game with them earlier and we only had nine men. obviously DC is missing and I think their form is a bit meh (miss out) Sutton - Physical team, loads of success over the past few years. I think they will hold on to get (Playoffs) Swindon - maybe my dislike clouds my judgement (Miss) Northampton - dont get how they are where they are, think they'll nick 3rd (autos) Tranmere - not enough, need to be more than difficult and they depand too much on Spearing and Galatzi (play offs)
and us - Playoffs, we will lose a few more our form is amazing but we wont stay undefeated forever and because we are Rovers it wont be easy.
so for me us, Mansfield, Sutton and Tranmere in the playoffs. that feels exciting to me.

Given Sutton seem happy enough just to avoid relegation this season I can see them dropping out of the top 7. PV can't seem to make the leap from top 10 to top 7. Who gets the automatic promotion places is anybody's guess, probably the teams which hold their nerves the best, with FGR and Exeter well known bottlers!

One thing keeping me awake at night - Dom Telford. I liked him with us, always seen something in him and wanted him to play more games. Maybe he was just a bit young back then and hadn't reached his potential. Fair play to him for this season. We need to keep him quiet. One good thing about the results Last night is that it takes a bit of pressure off this game. A point wouldn't be a bad result.

I think Newport will be very worried right now! Because they live in Newport? You don’t “live” in Newport. You Just exist. Like one of those blind Salamander that live in water caves. Just existing, never really living.

So here is the bonkers thing using the form guide as a predictor rather than individual games. I know JB talks about blocks of 10 but if you use blocks of 6 you get a slightly more insightful take on current form and the points swing from each fixture. There are 13 games to play for us, FGR, Sutton and swindon. 12 games to play for Northampton, Tranny, Newport. 14 games to play for vale and 15 for Exeter and Mansfield. Over the last 6 games we are the form team with Exeter. We have swung 6 points over FGR, 5 over Northampton, 9 over Tranny, 7 Over Sutton, 8 over Newport, 2 over Mansfield, 5 Over Swindon, and 4 over Port Vale. If you apply the form table over the next 12 games then FGR, Exeter, Mansfield and us will all have a shot, not just at promotion but winning the league going into the final game, which could be even more likely should we beat the likes of FGR, Northampton and Tranny. However where you get a slight scew is the games in hand that both Mansfield and Exeter currently have over us. It also means that between now and the end of the season we will have to win 8, draw 4 and lose 0 to have a chance of 1st place going into the final game of the season. Am I off my head? Well you would have probably thought so if I said we would get 4 wins and 2 draws out of the last 6 with Mansfield and Exeter in them so its not entirely impossible. Add in the momentum we have, a fairly available squad, so its absolutely entirely possible and feasible that we could have that kind of run.
