Most teams have now played 30 matches, so we're right near the 2/3 point of the season, lets take a look at the standings that are relevant to us:
1. Woking - 60 pts
2. Crystal Palace - 57 pts
-------------------------
3. Gillingham - 52 pts
4. Oldham - 50 pts
5. Leyton Orient - 45 pts
6. Wigan - 44 pts
-------------------------
7. Shrewsbury - 44 pts
8. Peterborough - 42 pts
9. Stockport - 42 pts
10. Rochdale - 42 pts
There's a huge bunchup really. The last playoff spot, Wigan, has 44 points. Preston in 19th is just 9 points back with 35. The number of teams that are within a 3 game swing of the playoffs with 15 to go is staggering. The top spots for auto promotion however are a lot different. We're 8 points up on 3rd, 10 points up on 4th and 15 points up on 5th place. The playoffs are starting to look incredibly likely for us. Promotion is still anything but guarenteed, so hopefully we'll keep up our hot stretch.
