Plymouth Argyle's hopes of securing a top three finish are now considered extremely difficult by manager Derek Adams.
The Pilgrims slipped to a 3-2 home defeat against Dagenham & Redbridge, in which Argyle were three goals down by half time, severely dented their top three hopes - especially as promotion rivals Accrington Stanley and Bristol Rovers both won.
This now means that there is now no margin for error from Adams' side as anything other than all the six available points from their next two games - Cambridge away and Hartlepool at home - will mean that they will be forced to settle for a Play-off spot.
In addition to this, the fifth placed Pilgrims - who currently have 77 points - will be relying on at least one of the Pirates, who have 79, Oxford United, on 80 points, and Accrington, the league's surprise package with 81 points, to slip up in their final two games.
At the recent PFA awards, Argyle did have something to celebrate when skipper Curtis Nelson was named in the League Two team of the season. Nelson, who is also the Pilgrims' longest serving, could yet have something else to celebrate - depending on how the season pans out.
