Can't remember a busier month to be honest for league fixtures.

Stevenage (a)
Oxford (h)
Cheltenham (a)
Peterborough (a)
Bolton (h)
Orient (a)

The two home games stand out there and Stevenage and Posh away.
Plus I think we'll have the EFL game in there somewhere.

I'd say the games against Top 4 are must not lose whilst the Cheltenham game is a must not lose.
I'd say we have to get two thirds of the points from these games - so 14 minimum - 16 and above would set us up nicely.
 
With Stevenage having a couple of games in hand I’d suggest we need to win against them.
The following games only come into effect after the last one. For example win against Stevenage & a draw against Oxford could be “ok” - or lose at Stevenage & Oxford becomes 100% must win.
Apart from the first hour against Peterborough - where they ripped us apart - nobody has looked that good this season. We went at them in the last half hour with a man light & caused all sorts of problems. Yes you could say they took the foot off the gas.
Cheltenham was a reverse of Peterborough. They were woeful for 45 minutes & it was looking like we would cricket score them !
Bolton was a fairly even game, separated by a “wonder” strike & a lenient home sided ref on the day.
Orient…. We were woeful & devoid of ideas on the day in August. They weren’t much better.

4 wins & a draw from the 6 games would be good return & should keep us in touch ?
 
Knowing your away performances and Cheltenham, that's probably the fixture you'd hate to lose, but probably do. Not a nice team to play against away from home, although we did nick their #9 in the window, you're welcome!
 
Think a bare minimum of 10 points is required to keep us in the hunt. Anything less and we will be well adrift, realistically anything more than 12 would be great return from a tough set of fixtures
 
Some huge games this month. The type of fixtures where we’d get some good results but lose to Cheltenham

I can see it being two steps forward and three steps back this month and we'll be no nearer the Top 6 by the end of the month than we were at the start. Ironically April is our best chance of putting points on the board by which time it'll all be over bar the post mortem!
 
6 points from the next two games would change everything as I guarantee those above us won't all get 6 points,
Not sure why but being in the 40's and teams above being in the 50's looks like a bigger gap than it is!
