You'd think there will come a point where we get the jitters. Up to now we've really had nothing to play for but suddenly there is a realistic chance of getting into the playoffs .Though confidence is sky high "many a slip". I've a slight feeling it will be a frustrating draw. 1-1 Ironside. Hope not though.

One of my facts was wrong in the above Article. They LOST to Sutton 3-1.

Can the streak continue? One hopes so, and no reason not, except the unpredictability of footie these days (such as Liverpool's disaster against Atalanta).
I'll stay positive, and say 2-0 with Molyneux scoring.
Donaldo, I really appreciate your pre-match briefs, and so one error is easily forgiven.

Keeping the faith, it's a 3-1 Rovers win for me. Ironside with the first, Adelakun if Ironside doesn't start.

3-0 Rovers
Ironside to score ⚽

We are in dreamland and I've done the DPL results already.

That's the best DPL points I've never scored.All the other results went out way too. Just a feeling our game against Colchester might be the banana skin. But at the moment you wouldn't bet against Rovers winning all there remaining matches.

Certainly a fascinating denouement to the season. The 2 final games are ones that are closest to where I live, so could actually attend, but I think I’ll probably just watch them on iFollow.

We could certainly beat Barrow unless they improve their form and we shall probably want Crawley and Barrow to share the points next Tuesday.

We don’t usually do well at Colchester, so we need to break that pattern and our record at Gillingham is mixed. The ground is OK unless you’re at the Away end and it rains, but the town is a bit depressing and they could still have something to play for.

Hi Donald, I think I was on 118 before this match so should now be on 121?

At times, breathtaking one-touch football from the Rovers – obviously a team full of confidence. Accrington only had one real chance when they hit the bar and really should have scored. Of course, with the chances we had, it should have been more than four! Ironside should have done better when he tried to lob their goalkeeper, and also headed wide when he usually would have scored. I’m glad he has reached 20 goals as I put the number 20 in the password for my new iMac, hoping he would reach that number. A few years ago, I use 28 hoping Marquis would achieve that. He did not do it, so is Ironside hitting my target for him a good omen?
Rovers still give me jitters at times with playing around at the back, and I think Adelakun and Molyneux mess around with corners and free kicks too often, but know it does work and fool opponents some times.
However, I’ve never been so relaxed watching the Rovers for a long time, and just so sad the season is nearly over…or will it be at least two games more!!!

Good to get the verdict from one who actually saw the game Mickey. Hoden made it sound exciting and he gave a pretty good commentary, much improved as he has developed in experience.

There is some unconscious pessimism in your reference to the number of games left in that you are forgetting the 3 play-off games culminating with victory at Wembley.

Crazy: Thank you. I sometimes do my sums from a lap top and sometimes from a desktop. I did the Walsall results on the aged laptop and they did not get copied to the MS cloud which explains why they did not carry forward. I’ll update them now, but on a new thread.

This is a corrected version of the DPL taking into account the Walsall results which were not consolidated due their failure to get copied into the Cloud, so the data from the Walsall predictions was not used as a staring point. I've included the previous game's results too.

Sorry.

GM does seem to have very good man management skills and He's able to get his tactical plans working now due to the better availability of players. We're not scraping the barrel for subs like earlier in the season either. He's certainly getting 100% out of the players at the moment. He never panicked earlier in the season and was always confident it would come together eventually.Honestly I didn't think we'd get this far though. Even Olowu is playing well! Not yet booked my hotel for the 19th May just yet though. Will it come down to the Gillingham game? Probably.

I did say "at least two games more", and certainly hope for three!
I agree, Olowu has been an eye-opener over the last two games. In his early time here I thought he had potential then many mistakes and bad clearances developed. GM does have really good man management skills.

Sorry Mickey - I didn’t read it properly.

Good piece on Rovers

Agreed - a well researched, and well written piece for which the author should be complimented. Expecting the spelling to be perfect to complement the writing is possibly too much to hope for.

I don’t think I shall be able to resist following Barrow v Crawley tonight. Neither set of fans seems confident of putting up the kind of performance needed for a win with Crawley fragile at home and Barrow poor away.

So, neither Crawley nor Walsall can equal or exceed our points total provided we win all our games in hand.

And Colchester are virtually safe, so not fighting for their lives next Tuesday.

Yes, it's in our hands now. Who would have thought that would be the case a few weeks ago?

And congratulations to Mansfield. Nice to see them get promoted.
