I'm expecting every one of our games to be moved for TV from now on to make sure Sky are there should we get promoted.
The next game week to be announced will be our Home game v. Sheffield Wednesday and with only 12 points up for grabs after that game, if we can extend our lead to 3rd by just 2 more points to 10 over the next 4 games, we could secure promotion with a win if its moved to a later KO or even Sunday/Monday.

When are the next TV games announced?
They're supposed to be announced on a weekly basis at this point of the season. Last one was on 4th March, so could well be the next batch announced today?

ultimately for us to now get promoted 3 of 4 things need to happen. First we fail to get another 10 points and then 2 out of 3 of the others need to gain 2 or more points per game. It could happen but realistically given we’ve only lost 5 all season are we going to lose 5 of the last 9?

We've lost 6. Sorry to nit pick.
In my head, I've got Pompey, Sheff Wed and Blackburn as 3 'definites' plus then just pick up another few points/wins from any of the other games. It will happen, but if we do slip up in the next 2 games (not impossible) people will panic again. There would still be enough games left to do the business, and we will. Big performance tomorrow, and I'm having a couple of JDs post match.

We will win 3 out of the last 5 home games at least.
We beat Blackburn and Watford away.

You know, I'd like to believe you, but you said the season had ended, so I am really struggling with the idea.

I predicted us to finish on 91 and we're outperforming based on fixtures so it is possible

I think that's likely to be too soon. We'd need to be sufficiently clear of 2 of the below scenarios:
After our game finishes at 2:30, Ipswich will still have 6 games left so we'd need to be at least 19 clear of them (very unlikely). Middlesbrough play at 3 so at 2:30 would still have 5 left so we'd need to be 16 clear of them as well.
Millwall will have 4 left so we'd need to be 13 clear of them.

The heading of this thread states that we need ten more wins but there are only seven matches left, so we have blown it.

Agree with this, the Wednesday game is too soon. It will be Blackburn or Pompey

If we beat Derby and Hull and Middlesbrough draw both their next two a win over Sheff Wed would clinch promotion............I think
Whenever its confirmed, it'll be so much better to do it by winning rather than someone else losing when we're not playing. I'm just being a bit picky now though.

Not so quickIf we beat Derby and Hull and Middlesbrough draw both their next two a win over Sheff Wed would clinch promotion............I think
We would be on 86 points and Middlesborough on 73 points with 5 games to go. Not enough points ahead of Middlesborough and there's also Ipswich and Millwall lingering like a bad smell.
Two defeats for Middlesbrough would just about be enough though. 15 points and big GD behind with 5 games to go. What brings it home to me is any of them can fall away quickly with just a couple of defeats and Middlesborough still have to play both Ipswich and Millwall. I'm just going to enjoy the last of our games, but also look back with a snigger at the 3 sides below us in utter disarray trying to keep the pressure on us.

But a win over Sheff Weds as well takes us to 89.Not so quick

I think it happens on the Saturday after Blackburn when we're not playing which would be a shame, but all back to the CBS on Tuesday for a fuck off party against Portsmouth.
In an ideal scenario, we'd need like a point against Pompey and smash them 5-0, the scenes would be amazing. I don't see it being confirmed before then.

if Middlesbrough draw their next two it means Millwall would also of drawn one so could not catch us either. A win against Sheff Wed and they can't catch us, only Ipswich couldI know we are all talking about the mathematical certainty point, rightly so but I still feel 6 more points for promotion and 9 for the title will prove to be more than enough.

Due to pretty much everything involving ourselves and the chasing pack, I find it unlikely we are going to rubber stamp promotion on the pitch ourselves

9 points from 2 games?
Sheffield Wednesday? I've read the plot. Just turn up and take the 3 points. Most of their games are close. We occasionally have games that we control but struggle to score. I expect us to win but it isn't a given.
