I'm predicting Stags will need 81 points to finish in the TOP 3.
Current Table
PLD...W...D...L...PTS...PPG
.40...20..13..7....73...1.825
Required for 81 points
PLD...W...D...L...PTS...PPG
..6....2....2...2....8....1.33
..6....1....5...0....8....1.33
Stags current PPG 1.825 would total 84 points over a season.
On course for TOP 3.
Stags had 65 points after 40 games last season, so currently +8.
Stags points after 40 games in previous promotion seasons,
2001/02....70.....(finished 79)
1991/92....73.....(finished 77, only 42 games)
1985/86....72.....(finished 81)

To beat the predicted 81 points, due to Stags superior goal difference, other teams would most probable need 82 points.
This is what the other teams need to get to 82 points,
Stockport WIN 2 draw 2 lose 3
To play, Wrexham A.
Wrexham WIN 3/6 or win 2 draw 3 lose 1
To play, Crewe A, Stockport H.
MK Dons WIN 4/5
To play, Stags H.
Barrow WIN 5/7
To play, Stags H.
Crewe WIN 5 draw 1 lose 0 (zero)
To play, Wrexham H.
Based on current form, it's looking likely that both Stockport & Wrexham will reach 81+ points, but Stags now need an upturn in results to reach 81 points.
In the last 6 games Stags have only got 7 points (W2 D1 L3).
Really need 3 points v Accrington on Monday, otherwise it could quickly look like Stags could do another Flitcroft
