If we win our next 3 it's 89. That includes the Wednesday game9 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.
I get that. But we were talking about the next 2 then Wednesday as a given joins in.
Even though it would be the most CCFC thing ever to lose to them, it’s not going to happen and we’ll smash them.
Then I question your surprise levels.
Been watching us for a lot of years
That just sounds like you refusing to accept you got your initial maths wrong
We're not going to win every remaining game. I've looked at our remaining games and considered what's the most Coventry City thing that could happen. We'll continue to win games but that one is getting to meThat just sounds like you refusing to accept you got your initial maths wrong
No. He’s talking about beating them after also winning the two before.9 points from 2 games?

It’ll be a tough game but they’re another team that hasn’t got good results against the top teams in the division away from home. This is another fixture you’d expect us to win.
I suppose a draw on Good Friday between Millwall and Boro makes it a possibility that we could ‘be on’ for an unofficial promotion party v Wednesday. That’s dependent on us beating Hull and 2-3 results going our way. We probably can’t be 16 points clear that game but more than likely 3 wins on the bounce for those games makes Blackburn a likely date we mathematically go up.
Boro drawing 2 games (not impossible) and us winning our next 3 guarantees promotion.
What if Millwall get 4 points and Ipswich win their Easter Monday (no Good Friday fixture for them) game?
Good to see finally that your head has ruled your heart. It isn't just the lead we have but the little matter of Ipswich v Millwall then Ipswich v Middlesbrough still to come. They can't all get 3 points to eat into our lead even if we lose the corresponding game.
We’re on course for 94-96 points and Hull/Watford are not as difficult as Swansea/Sheff U away.If we get 2W 2D and 3L from our remaining seven games - which would be a very disappointing run - we will have 88 points. I definitely think that’s enough for automatic promotion and gives us a great chance of winning the title.
I actually think we will get 90+
The reason I'm happy about our lead in the table is we've reached the stage of constant unexpected results. I would guess we will need 3 wins and a draw for 90 points to be Champions from our last 7 games. That would give us 90 points.
I'll be watching the maximum points possible with great interest. Ipswich 6W 1D 1L is only 88 points.
Boro play Millwall and Ipswich so if they win both games, the latter teams definitely won’t catch us.The reason I'm happy about our lead in the table is we've reached the stage of constant unexpected results. I would guess we will need 3 wins and a draw for 90 points to be Champions from our last 7 games. That would give us 90 points.
Middlesbrough 7 wins 92 points.
Ipswich 8 wins 93 points
Millwall 7 wins 90 points.
Next on the agenda Middlesbrough v Millwall. If Millwall win they go above Middlesbrough
We won't need 92 points. 92 points would put us in 2nd on GD to Middlesbrough and Ipswich above us by a point if both sides won every game....which as you say they can't. Millwall need to win their last 7 to get to 90.
Reckon we’ll be fine even with 1.0 PPG.
It’s all but done imo. Standards obviously need to remain high and we should aiming for 96+ points imo. The maximum of 101 is a bit too much and think we’ll drop off slightly when we secure automatic promotion.
