NO.
We are virtually certain to make the playoffs if we win all three games.
Look at the table...
If we beat Aldershot, we will be on the same number of points and a far better goal difference (once that victory is taken into account), so they would have to beat Northwich and Scarborough by very large margins to finish ahead of us on goal difference (remember that our goal difference will also improve from three wins)
Halifax can only stay above us if they win all three matches. But if they did so, then they would have to beat Hereford (unlikely), Farnborough (very likely) and Woking (possible). It is still possible for them to win all three games and for us to surpass them on goal difference.
If Hereford do lose to Halifax and ourselves, they would have to beat Woking away next Tuesday to stay ahead of us on goal difference. That is also quite possible.
Three wins and we could easily finish in 4th position and play Morecambe in the playoffs
