You can tell that my nerves are getting to me if I am asking the question.
This is the run-in to the end of the season:-
Bolton 79 points Fleetwood 72 points
April 8 Scun.thorpe v Bolton; Oldham v Fleetwood April 14 Peterborough v Fleetwood April 15 Oldham v Bolton April 17 Fleetwood v Millwall April 18 Bolton v Bury April 22 Port Vale v Bolton; Gillingham v Fleetwood April 30 Bolton v Peterborough; Fleetwood v Port Vale
So can we do it? YES WE CAN!

I agree David. YES WE CAN!
We're actually in a better position than we were before our and Fleetwood's mid-week games as the points difference is the same but they have one fewer game in which to catch us. As Jeff Stelling said when the result came through on Sky last night. It gives Fleetwood 'a faint glimmer of hope'. That faint glimmer depends on us cocking it up big time and having seen two live and one on TV of our sparkling run of away wins I can't see that happening. It's the away games that will do it for us given how visitors seem to be hard to break down at home.
But then as the ex-wife used to say, why is it that a pessimist like you is such an optimist about Bolton Wanderers?

Looking at that davidm, Fleetwood's only real threat will be Millwall but we have gotten results when many including myself thought were not possible. The Scunny game will be our toughest test, I just hope we can steady our home performances and not get the Chesterfield jitters when we play Port Vale COYWM

I really don't know what the worry is here. If I was a Fleetwood fan I'd think the chances of catching us are minimal and pretty much be thinking about the play offs. We'll beat S****horpe on Saturday, no question in my mind and after that we'd have to have such an incredible drop off in form as to be ridiculous. Even if we lost on Saturday and Fleetwood won they'd still have to win 2 more of their games at least to overhaul us. It's natural this close to securing promotion to imagine the worst that can happen but is it really likely?? Highly unlikely I'd say so relax and enjoy the last few games and promotion will be here in no time.

As av said before W63 I won't be celebrating nothing until it's done and when it's done, that vintage tin of Sköl will be getting opened 😱

Win 3 and we are promoted. Win 2, draw 2 will leave Fleetwood needing more goals to oust us plus 100% with 3 of their games away. That's why a draw would be a fantastic result tomorrow. Saw them against Bradford and whilst they weren't brilliant they showed they still have some fight. They struggled with the set pieces which should be encouraging for Parky, Wheats, Beavers and Madine if fit. Or Pratley. Not much from him in terms of goals and chances(observation not a critisism)

The goal difference is the key 'Cause as it stands they need to win 3 and us lose 3 for them to get 2 points ahead so that said I think 1 more win and maybe 2 draws from 5 will be enough COYWM.

After yesterday’s results, we need to include Bradford in the list of fixtures.
Bolton 79 points Fleetwood 72 points Bradford 72 points
Apr-14 Peterborough v Fleetwood Bradford v Oxford Apr-15 Oldham v Bolton Apr-17 Fleetwood v Millwall Sheff Utd v Bradford Apr-18 Bolton v Bury Apr-22 Port Vale v Bolton Gillingham v Fleetwood Bradford v Wimbledon Apr-30 Bolton v Peterborough Fleetwood v Port Vale Rochdale v Bradford
In simple terms, we need to win 2 of our last 4 games.
If Bradford win away to Sheff Utd and Rochdale they will have done well.
Fleetwood have the easiest finish and the best chance of winning all 4 games.
We though have the major advantage in playing a day later than the others over Easter and, therefore, knowing what is needed.

If our lead gets cut to 4 points I could see panic setting in.
Pity Fleetwood don't play Bradford

I'm happy with the fixtures as they are actually and I don't think it matters anyway because we'll get the results we need.

Today's results have brought my nerves back.
Still the same position - 6 points needed - win 2 out of 4 and we are up.
I hope we go for it at Oldham and get the first 3 points.
