in some ways i wish we would of won at oxford and maybe got 3rd as i think doncaster are there for the taking! although i would not peterbrough i do not have the stats but 6th is usually a pretty decent place to finish.
Burton away is a lot easier now than it would've been a week ago. Now they've lost to both Portsmouth and Southend their play off hopes are over and they're already on the beach.

You would expect Accrington to be the same!
What have they got to do with it?
They've just beaten Doncaster which has put a bit of a spanner in the works for 6th spot
Had Doncaster won last night they'd have gone six clear of Peterborough

Ok but my point was that Burton would have nothing to play for so Luton going there will be easier.
Completely different to Accrington, who before last night's game were only 2 points clear of the drop zone, so obviously were fighting for their lives.
That guy Pigott might be worth a look. Scores one in three for a crap side and still quite young.
As I said when both Michael Smith and Joe Pigott left Cafc, both will have good careers and score goals anywhere from League 1 to National League. Smithy has even scored a few in the championship but next season he will be back in League 1. I had watched both at academy levels and knew their strengths and weaknesses. Good to see at 26 and 25 both are doing fine and being paid to play football at a decent level.
Luton are falling apart only 4 points in 4 games and have one of the in form teams in the division next. At this point I genuinely think they're going to finish 3rd.
When Luton went 2-1 up on Tuesday I tweeted Paddy Power request a bet for Barnsley, Portsmouth and Us to get promoted.....they couldn’t give me the odds!
I still think Luton will be good for an automatic place but I would be happier if they finished 3rd instead of Barnsley or Pompey and take a chance against them at Wembley if we make it or Doncaster.
It's funny how we tend to forget about Luton, but they can't afford to take their foot off the gas yet.
Home to Wimbledon tonight, but then they're away to Burton and home to Oxford, neither easy fixtures. 5 points would clinch promotion, 4 might do it but they won't want to go into their final game vs in form Oxford needing anything!
1 point from Wimbledon and Burton, my unlikely prediction could be about to come true! If Pompey win midweek, they'll be 1 point behind Luton and Barnsley so both will then need to win next Saturday to be sure.
Sunderland are effectively out of automatic contention, but not mathematically yet.
With the first eleven at our disposal I still think we’ve underachieved this season. We’ve dominated almost every match I have seen home and away. I hope we can do it for 4 more matches.
