I'm assuming 81 points will be enough for automatic promotion, TOP 3 finish.
Current TablePLD.....W......D.....L......PTS......PPG
40......18.....15....7......69.......1.72
Required for 81 pointsPLD....W......D......L......PTS......PPG
6.......4.......0......2.......12......2.00
6.......3.......3......0.......12......2.00
Based on our current PPG 1.72 we would finish on 79 points, which is usually Play-Offs.

I have said so all season and I won’t change now.
It’s in our own hands - the Mansfield Town way alternatively known as the frustratingly nerve racking hard way.
Come on you Stags!!

At the other end of the table The Pies have the most difficult run-in.

15th place secured today given our superior goal difference over Cheltenham.
Closing in on that top half finish.

Next couple of fixtures means its imperative we take 6 points. Of course plenty of permutations but could look like this if we do.
Bury v Cambridge - H
Oldham v Tranmere - A
Carlisle v Bury - D
Mansfield v Cambridge - H
Mk Dons v Lincoln - D
Newport v Tramere - A
Bury v Colchester - H
Lincoln v Cheltenham - H
Northampton v Mansfield - A
Tranmere v Mk Dons - D
This would mean the table looks like this after 42 games.
Lincoln - 84pts
Bury - 78pts
Mansfield - 75pts
Tranmere - 74pts
MK Dons - 74pts
We need 6pts, we need Lincoln to get something at Mk Dons and Mk Dons to get something at Tranmere.
This assumes most other games go to form, but how will mayor's red card impact Bury? Newport have games to get into the play-offs so may spring a surprise against Tranmere.

Herpes perhaps??
I'd expect MK or Bury to lose one more this season, but (for me) it all comes down to whether Saturday marks a return to form for us. I agree that a couple more wins in the next 2 games will definitely get the lads fired up and brimming with belief
If i look in pain it's because i'm thinking

Newport are quite good at home due to the pitch factor. I don't think it would be much of a surprise if they got something against Tranmere.

A bit like Clownty when we went to the Lane. If Bury turn up with the attitude we did when we went to Notts then anything could happen. In football you always expect the unexpected.

It's looking like any 2 from 4, with Stags having the easiest run-in, and Tranmere the most difficult.

Fingers crossed, even the most die hard Imp haters will be wanting them to win on Sat.

Yes the Imps can have the silverware if they want it, as I've said previously, 'Champions' is just the cherry on top. Accy won it last year Looooooooun came 2nd, look at the Lge 1 table now.

Saturdays game is important as they all are but if we win at Northampton that will be huge.
Tranmere or Mk are dropping points that day so a win will really kick us on.
These are my opinions , if you don't like them I have others...

A win on Saturday and I reckon we will take over 1,000 to The Cobblers.

I disagree. If you win the league it is remembered fondly for ever. I bet thinking of 1975 and 1977 will get the juices flowing if you were around to witness them. These are actual honours our proud club can boast about. 1986 and the other 3rd place promotions were good but less defining.

85/86 under Ian Greaves whom that great big stand is named after? 3rd place finish.

Fingers crossed that 6,000 Lincoln fans will be celebrating an away win at Franchise FC on Saturday and that the Bury players have downed tools again although Carlisle United have been awful lately.
