If we reach the play offs I will be jubilant' however I don't think if we got in we will get promoted. Sorry, just my gut feeling. I'd rather go again next season with the same vibes and go up outright.

This is our 10th match since Feb 5th, in a run of 13 games in effectively 6 weeks Sat-Tues-Sat. We've won 4, drawn 3 and lost 2 so far in this sequence. If we are to keep up the push for a play-off place then we need to win tomorrow and the next two at home (v Harrogate and Colchester) before this tough run finishes away at Northampton where a point would be fantastic. My concern is that the run is taking its toll on the players, especially some of the key ones. Having said we need to win, I would take a draw as long as the following two home games are won. Heart says 2-0 to us, head says 1-1. We haven't made the most of our games in hand. We were just away from the playoffs with 2 or 3 games spare. We've now caught up and we're still just away from the playoffs. A bit of a wasted opportunity, which got some people overexcited. Still, not too late to claw it back. We've almost caught the play off pack the problem now is that the gap to the top has also closed, if we can get into the top 7 we're then only another win away from the top 3, a month ago we were probably miles away from the top 3. Whether that's good or bad for us we'll only know come May.

Really need to be on our game tomorrow, Crawleys record against teams at the upper end is decent. They beat FGR the other week & even though they only drew with bottom of the league Scunthorpe last Saturday I read that they made plenty of chances but they found the Scunny keeper in inspired form.

Good insight into what Crawley are thinking - respect for us but I would suggest they expect to beat us and out sing us!! We really do need to be on our guard as they are dangerous opponents and the likes of Nichols if he plays and Craig for sure will want to put one over us. We can’t let all the good work in getting close to the play offs slip away now. Head says 1-1 Heart 1-2

A good game tomorrow and will be a show of our promotion credentials , do we have what it takes?
After a loss we will need to show we can bounce back, and I think we will. A lot of people have criticised our defence, but I’m impressed by them lately, particularly the 2nd half on Saturday, without our star man we kept a clean sheet and reduced them to half chances. So our back line really are improving, couple that with our good football and ‘if it clicks’ I believe we have everything to be the team to watch going into the stretch.

I was born in Crawley and watched them a lot in the non league days and through to promotion to the league. The trouble is that Crawley is historically a town where fans supported Brighton or one of the London teams.

Just not seeing it this season. Our results against the top teams are so poor.
10/42 points from the top 10 teams is simply not good enough

Happy If we finish the season with a plus goal difference. It will mean we have taken a huge step in the right direction. Tonight I’m going Town 1 Rovers 2.

I’d be disappointed- we are so close to play offs now and with 12 games to go a play off position should be the bare minimum expected. Tough game tonight but stick with my 2-1 gas win prediction which sets us up for Saturday v Harrogate where I expect another close game but a gas win.
