Another important result for us today has to be the 2-2 draw between Rotherham and Aldershot. They may not have known it but if they (Rotherham) could have scraped a win (they pulled back to 2-2 after being 2-0 down) they would still have had a decent outside chance of squeezing into the play offs and of course, worse for us, everything still to play for nest Saturday. If they had of won today, then subject to them beating us by a couple of goals and Stevenage (h v Bury) and Gillingham (a v Chesterfield) both losing they would have sneaked in - despite the fact that Andy Scott their own Manager had written off their chances after their home defeat to Gilingham last week!
Fantastic set of results today, we REALLY couldn't have hoped for anything better and the most important result is that our fate is now back in our OWN hands - we just need to match the result of one of the other two teams involved (Gillingham and Stevenage) and we are there - even a defeat MIGHT be sufficient. Personally I fancy us to at least get a draw up there and I reckon that may well prove to be enough.
I said before the game yesterday that I felt that 4 points from our last two games would be enough and, as it happens, it most certainly would be - quite possibly even less. I actually felt that the point last night was a decent one against what clearly was a very decent Chesterfield side who should prove themselves to be worthy Champions next week, by (hopefully) beating Gillingham!
