From looking out of it, one win (and Sunderland's defeat) has completely turned things around for Barnsley, and their run in looks better than that of Sunderland and Pompey too. The stat guy Ben Mayhew has them as favourites for 2nd0 -

I wonder how many would go up to the SoL for that?0 -
Wouldn’t fancy Sunderland away 2nd leg5

Its unusual for many of the top teams to be on good form this time of the year, if you look at top of the Championship and League Two the teams are very erratic other than the odd team they are all dropping points.0

Portsmouth v Sunderland is a huge game. One team wins that it'll be difficult for the other one to go up. A draw and Barnsley have to be favourites but it opens the door a bit for us too.0

It’s a play off final loss for us , just prepare yourself you heard it here first .
keep on dreaming but our miraculous dream happened in 1998 and it’s not gonna happen again for a very long time0 -

Still hoping for promotion though however it comes.2 -
I'm not sure I agree with everyone saying Barnsley have an easy run-in.
Plymouth away will be difficult. They have picked up in form and let's not forget we could easily have found ourselves 1-0 down had they converted the penalty and taken a deserved lead. They will not be a pushover away from home.
Bristol Rovers away I also see a potential banana skin for Barnsley. They have also picked up in form and having watched us there a month ago they won't be pushovers either away from home.
I'd genuinely be surprised if Barnsley with there injuries leave Plymouth and Bristol Rovers with 6 points. Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they only go home with 2 or 3 points from both games.

I fancy us home & away against the other teams. Really need to get 3rd or 4th though.

Hate that away section though. Apart from the long walk up, you're so far away from the players0 -
I think Robinson will have an opportunity to do something he’s done before - cost us promotion.2

What we have to note is that Barnsley are not the team they were earlier in the season. They are still decent but can't cruise past teams.1
-
Huge Easter period, I think at least 1 or 2 of the 4 of us will drop points somewhere. Looking at the remaining games I've now got the table to finish:
Luton - 94
Barnsley - 91 +40
Sunderland 91 +38
Portsmouth - 90
Charlton - 89
Doncaster - 75
In my scenario we all enter the final game of the season with a chance of going up. (I've got us all to win on the final day).2 -

Between us and Barnsley for 2nd I think. Sunderland Pompey have a real tough run-in.1
-
one thing i think could be in our favour is as we play 1st on friday get the win and then will really put pressure on others, we have seen it countless times before where teams just need to win x amount of games and they are up and blow it, so still very much on in my personal opinion it is just asking too much from the others but all the while its mathematical then why not dream.3

is it possible for us to get promotion at gills?0

Luton not playing until Saturday.0

Sunderland v Donny on Sky tomorrow evening and then Accrington v Luton on Saturday evening. Will be great to watch if we do the business at Oxford.2

Charlton... Need three wins from three to go to 88-pts
Sunderland and Portsmouth would have to lose their next two and then draw with each other leaving them on 81-pts (from their game in hand best they could finish on is 87-pts)
Barnsley would have to lose one and draw two games leaving them on 84-pts; three draws for them would mean that a win for them on the final day and loss for us on the final day would see them finishing on 88-pts and above us with a better Goal Difference1 -
