Two games from glory: How Bristol Rovers' League Two promotion path compares with their rivals

The League Two table and the various promotion and play-off permutation can either be viewed with great simplicity from a Bristol Rovers perspective, or with considerable complexity.

We're not going to explore the latter part too much as that can keep for next week but if you want a straightforward route for the Gas into League One then they need to take six points against Rochdale and Scunthorpe, require Exeter City to win both their final two games and Forest Green to overcome Mansfield Town on the concluding weekend.

Should that transpire, then Rovers will occupy the final automatic promotion place but you know, as well as we do, it won't be as clean or stress-free as that and with six teams in contention for third place and eight overall competing for play-off places, the possibilities are such they're liable to make your brain hurt.
