It's looking like one of the most competitive League Ones in years and that's saying something. I think we'll need 50 points+ to stay up. I'd be happy to avoid relegation. Anything else would be a bonus.

Well I sat down last night and made a list of the away games I'd like to attend next year. So: Reading - You can get the Elizabeth Line from Heathrow to Reading. Ideal for my good self. Leyton Orient - A ground I'm very familiar with. Watched Notts there a few times. Oxford - I've never been to Oxford. I'd like to see the place and this is the perfect excuse. Blackpool - I was there once. I sat on the beach and watched the world go by. I'd like to do that again. My maybe would be Wigan. I like history and Wigan is interesting. My would love to but very unlikely. Exeter and Plymouth. I'd love to visit Devon. I'll try and make one home game. Sheffield Wednesday appeals to me most. Then Luton. Then Leicester. Then that small club beginning with M.....

Think of the away trips next year. Leicester. Reading. Luton. Mansfield. Wigan. Blackpool. Sheffield Wednesday. Wow. Just wow.

I won't be able to attend the playoff final next month. I can't get the time off work. Previously time off wasn't an issue but things have changed. We have a CEO who sees longevity as a bad thing. People with 10 years plus are being moved closer to the exit. I'm there 19 years. I'm holding on for redundancy and they are hoping I quit. It's not a fun situation but I do my best.

I would love to go to Wembley. It's a short trip from Cork but the cost of flights are eye watering. Plus I have a less than sympathetic boss so time off would be a battle as well. Still I haven't quite given up yet.

Keeping Chesterfield scoreless over the 2 legs is most impressive. From what I saw, it never looked like Notts were going to lose last night. Wembley awaits. Nice.

Chesterfield bring theatrics. They bring drama. We need to rise above that tonight. I'll be depending on text up dates from my friend Niall. I'm going to Cobh Ramblers vs Athlone Town tonight.

Delighted for Riley and Kidderminster. I think he'd benefit from another season on loan there next season. He's obviously thriving there.

Superb result but I can't help feeling that we could have buried them with a bit more composure. Having said that, the pressure is on them now, they have to come out and play. That will suit us just fine.

We know how this will go. 100% commitment. A hundred miles an hour. End to end. Controlled aggression. Passion. And.....bedlam..... Bring it on.....

This season has a last season feeling to it. Our philosophy will only get you so far in League 2 and unfortunately it looks like we have reached that limit again. I hope I'm wrong of course but.....

Automatic promotion is still on the table. We need to win our last 3 and hope that is good enough. There's a decent chance that it might be enough. It's squeaky bum time.

That was a serious setback but we just have to park it and move on. If you do go up, we are going to need serious investment or we'll struggle to get 40 points next season.

That felt like a kick in the gut. The game exploded into life after 90 mins. Luckily we have a woeful Newport side coming to ML so a bounce back is mandatory.

3 points. +3. I'd have taken that at kickoff. I still think automatic promotion will go down to the last few minutes of the last game of the season.
