My thoughts exactly, and I would also say this: Stockport have been held this evening by a mid-table team, albeit one with a similar recent unbeaten record to ours. When we beat them on Sunday, that will have two effects. Not only will they be unable to catch us, but also Hartlepool will have the incentive to overtake them for third place and raise their game against Sutton. Sutton themselves have struggled in their last two games to overcome poor teams at the bottom of the table, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to take all three points from Maidenhead, despite the latter's thrashing by Notts County. As Stefano suggests, Sutton have never been in such a position before and are more than likely to slip up with the finishing line in sight. For us, the number one spot is everything. The play offs would be a complete lottery, and my guess is that Notts County are capable of beating all the others and joining us on our way back to the Football League. Yeah agree with all of this. I said after the Bromley game that if we won all of our games I was confident we would finish top. As Stewart says the Stockport game is key on two fronts. Also worth bearing in mind that Maidenhead had an out field player in goal for 40 minutes against Notts so the score isn't really a reflection of their capabilities and you'd imagine they'd be smarting and motivated to put in a performance on Saturday. Teams managed by Alan Devonshire don't tend to roll over. |

Excellent summations from Stefano and Stuart. Agree 100%. We will be champions and Stockport and Notts County fight it out at the King Power. Can't get through on the phone either and the website ticketing system has crashed.

I suppose we can take some comfort from the fact that since the six team play-offs were introduced in the 2017-18 season, the play off winners have always been a side finishing either second of third:
2017-18 Tranmere Rovers (2nd)
2018-19 Salford City (3rd)
2019-20 Harrogate Town (2nd)
Last season was the first when both 2nd and 3rd competed in the final.

Just been announced that the final will be at Ashton Gate on 20th June. Not sure how many fans will be allowed as it's the day before the final restrictions are due to be lifted.
