With Lund and Davies back, and hopefully Bunney soon; this is our last chance to go on a last-minute play-off push like Barnsley did. I think it has to start off with a win at MK.
Sat: MK Dons (A) - W
Tue: Scunthorpe (A) - L
Sat: Gillingham (H) - W
Tue: Millwall (H) - W (must-win if we want that top 6 spot)
Sat: Chesterfield (A) - W
Tue: AFC Wimbledon (A) - W
It may be optimistic but I believe if our luck with injuries has now dried out, this is the minimum of what we have to do to get in the top 6; all the away games are at teams who have been poor at home all season (except Scunthorpe obviously), and we need to be winning all the home games.
The challenge will be having a strong XI playing twice a week 3 weeks in a row, but I'm sure we all trust Hill to deliver that with Lund and Allen looking hugely impressive, Davies looking a class above up front (despite a lack of match fitness) and with Bunney back soon. Hopefully Calvin's tonsillitis will be gone before MK.

Scunthorpe's last four at home: one draw and three defeats. They've scored once.
Is that was up with Calvin? Having players back does bring greater confidence that we can go on a run, and Rafferty is available again to play RB next week. Would leave RNL on the left if Kitching and Taylor aren't going to get a go, with McNulty and McGahey central - they usually play well together. |  |

Yeah Hill said after the game yesterday that Calvin was due to play but rang in sick Saturday morning with tonsillitis; I'm sure he is very run down at the minute! Yeah I think RNL has done well; perhaps the best we've seen of him, during February. I also think McGahey has been harshly treated this season on here; yes he is occasionally caught out but he's 20/21 and I actually think he deserves a CB spot alongside Keane/McNulty; his distribution is better than Canavan's and he seems less likely to make a mistake. | | | |

McGahey has all the attributes to be developed into another one of our big sales. Most promising CH we've had since Dawson and getting better at RB too. His attitude, both to being left out and playing out of position, has been exemplary. He's not perfect but there's a very good player there. | |

Did you see the Steven Dawson overhead kick disallowed for offside? Very bizarre decision as at no point was he ever even close to being offside - you get some where they look offside when they shoot but were onside when the ball was passed - Dawson is even more onside as the defenders get back even further. |  |

Hill alluded to this in a recent interview, stating he expects McGahey to be a real asset next season.
Without ruling out possibilities this time round, next season, with all the recent contract activity, and maybe 2 or 3 decent signings to help cover injury problems such as we've had, already has me looking forward with high hopes (not necessarily expectations)! |  |

Wasn't given for offside. Referee blew for a foul just as Davies set himself. |  | | |

Three away wins when generally, we've been really poor away from home? Not a chance.
I'll quite happily take 8 points from those games. Top 6 is gone if you ask me anyway. |  |
