How Bristol Rovers' run-in compares to their League Two promotion rivals

"Eight to go, you never know" is the mantra among Gasheads - now applicable to automatics over the play-offs - and such is the compact nature of this promotion race it really is desperately difficult to call.

Just six points separate Exeter City in second with Mansfield Town in 10th, with the latter also having two or three games in hand over the teams above them in the stands.

From Rovers' perspective, they can only control what's in front of them and that's winning matches which, if they were to continue along this current run of form, they would surely finish inside the top three. But pitfalls await, plus surprise results elsewhere in the division could alter the landscape dramatically.
