Whatever happens now, the Easter weekend could either seal the title for someone or throw it wide open. Some tasty games on the Monday and not one of the top five have an 'easy' one on the Friday.
Fylde could drop points at home to Barnet.
Boreham wood could easily beat Salford at home.
Solihull are at Bromley. Not an easy place to go.
Leyton Orient are home to Harrogate who need points to secure a play off spot.
And we are at home to Sutton.

No easy games at this stage of the season.

I do think the most we can hope for at the moment is third.

Excellent result.

Play offs is an achievement, as its been a while since we made them. Although it should be minimum requirement of each season.

I'd personally prefer us not to worry about whether finishing 4th or 5th would be better. Try and win our final 3 games, we may even sneak into 3rd.

Ordinarily I'd agree but realistically Barnet BW and Bromley have zilch to play for and whilst I'd still expect them to put on a professional display I'd put decent money on the teams playing them to beat them.

Least we have something to look forward to now.

Orient definitely battling to win their last 2 games, showing champions grit, Salford on an excellent run and peaking at the right time, Solihull just keep going.

We need Orient to do us a favour by beating Solihull, however 2nd or 3rd looks just out of reach due to our GD.

We need to get to semi first and then hopefully we can do something we haven’t done for a long time, win away at one of teams above us.

If Lady Luck really does love us, we could still go up as champions!

Realistically, I think we should finish between 3-5. Third would give us a massive chance.

Sh*t, we've still got 3 more games we need to win!

Seriously, we need a big crowd on Friday to help the players over the line. Now is certainly not the time to give up or bottle it.

Excellent result today, so well done to the players.

I imagine the Board will also be happy as the playoffs will bring in revenue from unbudgeted for gate receipts, tv coverage and merchandise.

It's crazy to think that with just three games to go any if the top four could still win the title.

Realistically we won't but Sheesh, this season has been mental.
