Guest osit Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 The next five games will, in my opinion, decide whether we will go up automatic. We must be favourites to take 3 points from four of the five, only Tranmere away looks dodgy after their recent good form. If we can go into the Port Vale, QPR, Swindon and Plymouth games with a decent cushion between us and 3rd place then we should be psychologically favourites to go up. I personally think that QPR are wobbling and may be caught by Swindon or Luton. If we look at the teams we have lost to, only Port Vale can be considered serious automatic promotion rivals. Sheff Wednesday might get a play-off place, they are gathering momentum. Looking at the teams below us I can't see a serious challenger now, if we keep our winning ways up. Yesterday's result shouldn't do us any harm mentally, they are a big club, capable of beating anybody on their day and we should have got at least a point. I have watched Bournemouth a bit recently as my wife is a supporter and they have had good results against QPR, Plymouth, Barnsley and Wrexham and only Plymouth really impressed. The defeat at Brighton was a one off and they were ###t too. I honestly think it's going to be us and plymouth, can't see anyone else lasting.
