Lawson D'Ath believes that, if Exeter City can win their next two games, then it will be enough to secure a place in the npower League Two play-offs.
The on-loan Reading youngster said that Tuesday's results, which all went in favour of Exeter, have given the Grecians a huge lift ahead of tomorrow's clash with Cheltenham Town, and re-ignited their belief that they can make the play-offs.
Exeter would still need a favour from elsewhere but, to give themselves every chance, they must win their last two fixtures, against Cheltenham and Chesterfield.
"I think that, if we can get two wins, then we will get that play-off place," D'Ath said. "We need to get the wins, though, and it is a lot easier saying it than doing it.
"We will just take it one game at a time and hopefully it will come good for us.
"The results on Tuesday certainly gave us a big boost. If Bradford had won on Tuesday, then they would have been four points clear of us with two games remaining and that would have been difficult. But, now they have lost, it's only one point, so there is everything to play for.
"We are only a point behind Bradford with two games left and they have to play Burton on Saturday, and that will be a tough game because they are fighting for third place.
"All we can do is concentrate on ourselves and hopefully get the six points from now until the end of the season and hope that other results go our way."
D'Ath enjoyed a loan spell with Cheltenham earlier this season, and his only goal for the Robins came in a 3-0 win over the Grecians at Whaddon Road.
The boot is firmly on the other foot now, though, with the 20-year-old desperate to end his loan stay with Exeter with a promotion.
"I really like it here, although I would like to help us get the winning streak going because then it would be the perfect loan," he said.
"We will see what happens on Saturday and hopefully it will all work out well in the end.
"I haven't told the lads anything about Cheltenham because I don't think we can really worry about them too much. I think we have to play our own game and take the game to them, get on with it and try and get the points, but we are confident."
The Robins, who are already guaranteed a play-off place, arrive in Devon chasing a promotion dream of their own. They are two points behind Rotherham United, who occupy the last of the automatic promotion places, so there is plenty at stake at St James' Park tomorrow.
"They will be thinking exactly the same as us because they are fighting for that third spot. No one will be holding back, everyone will be going for it," D'Ath added.
"I think it certainly helps us that they need to win as well. It will make it more open, I think it would have been tough for us if they sat in and made it difficult. It will be an open game and it could go either way."
