It will be the new Sutton (2 Viewers)

The last couple of pages were an interesting read

There's a decent chance of us being 12 points ahead of 3rd after this weeks midweek games with only 12 games to go. Most of the sides 3rd to 9th are playing each other. 3rd v 7th, 9th v 4th and 5th v 8th. But even if it happens I'm sure there will be some negativity somewhere.

Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Even after ‘Boro went above us, at that exact point it was still exclusively in our hands to win the league because we had them to play the following Monday.

To post a thread like this when that was the case looked premature, with then what has happened in the two games since (for us and other teams) it looks plain silly and attention grabbing.

Exactly, the opportunity was there to hit back and reclaim top spot which is what happened. Boro had to play ourselves and Ipswich away so I still believe that they won’t go up automatically.

Our problems were exclusively away and at home it was v much business as usual and maintaining a 2.4 ppg. I was never really worried about the Boro game.

Hand on heart, I was more worried about the WBA because our record is terrible at the Hawthorns and it’d been close to 3 months without an away win. I’d have been seriously worried had we not beat WBA yesterday - they were shit.

Its all well and good when people can play Captain Hindsight isnt it?

We blew a 13 point lead and dropped to 2nd. We hadnt won away for almost 3 months. Let's not have any revisionism here

I dont think any of us suddenly winning 4 on the spin off the back of that. Long may it continue

You did tbf. The thing is this run was always possible. We've proved it before.

Look, it’s not that deep.
You made a petulant post in an irrational fit of anger.

Then spent time questioning people who thought maybe this was a bit premature and over the top.

You are not the first to do all this and won’t be the last.
Just take your medicine and admit it was a a silly post to make.

Dont think we need to worry about this now tbh

I'll feel that more as and when we cross 80 points. My reasoning being nobody's going up automatically on 70-odd points, but when you're in the 80s that changes.

I’m not saying another word until promotion is confirmed.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. Anyone with integrity would go “hold my hands up, what a silly sausage I was” and we’re done with it. Colour me shocked there’s a defense of it still

I think we could win 5 more and go up with a couple draws

I originally thought 85/6 but feeling 88

If boro lose monday ( fingers crossed )

If we got 17 points from 33 theyd need to get 25 from 33 to match us

Millwall 26 from 33

Ipswich win both games in hand theyd need 22 points from 33

W5 D2 L4 of the remaining games seems doable
