The maximum MK can get is 85, in effect 84 with goal difference.

11 is the very highest amount we’d need to go up from the 7 remaining, which would be at 1.57 points a game.

Even if we won 3 and lost 4 of the last 7 games, MK would still need to stay unbeaten all season to match us.


Barrow can get 88 and Crewe can get 86.

11 is not the highest amount we’d need to go up, it’s not even the highest amount we’d need to finish above MK Dons, unless at least 1 of the points came against them.

I reckon if we lost every one of our remaining games apart from winning away at MK we'd still go up.

quite.

97% for Mansfield is ridiculous. 14% for MK Dons is ridiculous.

8% for Gillingham getting in the play-offs is ridiculous as well.

Backed up by the bookies if you look at the odds

We are 14/1 to finish in the play offs.

This side has consistently proven it can do things others haven’t (wins at accrington, sutton, harrogate)etc, given our previous such stats really make you feel uneasy
