Poll Update: 93% believe we will either get to play offs, promoted through automatics or be champions. What a turnaround in our hopes and dreams.
41% think we will be champions (9%) or automatics (32%)
As we keep on winning games our belief and confidence will be off the scale.

Automatic, realistic goal. Play offs stretching it I think. More likely champs than playoffs.

Such is our form over recent months with 9 games to go we are -
IN the playoff position’s 2 behind the automatic promotion places 9 behind the leaders
9 games ago we were -
10 behind the playoff position’s 14 behind the automatic promotion places 18 behind the leaders
9 to go, you never know 💙

Hence the more likely to be champs than finish in the play offs statement. I'll have a glass of whatever you're drinking if you think we're more likely to finish 1st than in positions 4th to 7th. Until we play Northampton it seems far too early to make any predictions given how we've struggled so far away from home against the top 10 sides.

Going by current form I genuinely believe we’re more likely to win the league than finish in playoffs, meaning promo is a dead cert. simple as that. Simple. Just my view.

Let's not get too much ahead of ourselves as eventually, the playoffs might only just be attained. Then there are the dreaded playoffs where form tends to go out of the window. I remain cautiously optimistic. Very level headed and just as I see it. Despite what a lot of people are saying, it's by no means in our own hands. There are plenty of teams in form and some have games in hand on us. And the dreaded playoffs are a lottery as suggested above. So I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased at where we are but not going overboard yet. I agree. Not totally in our hands but if we win all our games we are very likely to be in the automatic positions. Always room for level Headed people on this bus.

I think Exeter and Newport will get two of the automatic promotion slots
The 3rd spot is up for grabs and could be any of the other top 9 teams but if FGR return to form they must be favourites

Only 10 votes for finishing as champions. This is exactly why it’s ground-breaking. Very few expect us to achieve it.
Let’s be honest, if we look back at where we were at Christmas, it would be totally, totally groundbreaking if we ended up champions. Totally unbelievable stuff.
Let’s get 3pts against Northampton and a few more will think we might just do it.
The gas are coming and the buses are full.

I think we need to win tomorrow to could get automatic. Northampton are there and we need to beat them to replace them or at least catch them. Anything less and I think it's playoffs at best because we are running out of games.

If Rovers do manage to gain promotion the current squad might just about hold their own in League1. Joey would no doubt be restrengthening during the close season. Hope us Gasheads have seen the last of League2.

I've just noticed that Forest Green have 8 fixtures to play in April, that's not going to be an easy ask for a team struggling for form and already suffering from injuries.
