Does this list take into account the fact most of the teams here play some games against each other Mike?

location, location.
If Charlton draw with Portsmouth we might need 9 points.
If Portsmouth beat Charlton we might need 9 points
If Charlton beat Portsmouth we might need 11 points

That's without considering our result against Northampton.

If Charlton beat Portsmouth that makes it a 3 horse race between us, Charlton and Scunthorpe for the last 2 places.

From Quizmike's list worst case scenario we need 11, assuming of course we don't be Scunthorpe, if we did win there then it's 10 max.

The only variable I'd watch out for would be Bradford, I know they're on a slip but their remaining games are mostly mid-league teams. Their "toughest" being Scunthorpe on the final day.

Even if Bradford were to win all their remaining games, which they wont, we would still only need 8 points from 5 games to finish above them. No way are Bradford finishing higher than us.

Maybe not for us but for that final spot who knows. Charlton slip up against Pompy and Bradford could kick them out.

Bit too much arrogance around this.

It is not inconceivable that we lose or next two away games and then next Saturday becomes a must win. Not over by a looong stretch - especially with a depleted squad, and is Matthews 100% fully focused considering his off the field situation?

There have been numerous occasions since November when there has been a fear the team will let us down in an important game- it only happened once, at Charlton, and we bounced right back. There is no reason to think we will lose our next two away games against struggling clubs. Of course it is possible, but imo not likely.

Charlton concern me. Very inconsistent but they have the quality. If they beat Pompey tomorrow can see them winning final 2 games. And I don't see us getting 11 points.

You couldn’t see us getting out of the bottom 4 so this post gives me hope.
