A defeat away at the Ravens but 5th place still secured and in some illogical dark place in the depths of my mind I justify it was the best thing to happen because had we won we would have had to go on our longest winning streak for quite some time. As it happens we now just have to go three games unbeaten . . . easy!

So we look ahead to a home tie eliminator against Chesterfield in the play off's. I'll be doing a separate preview for that game and hopefully for the other two as well . . .
