With Gus hitting some good form and getting into good positions, it can take some of the pressure off Vik. They can't put 3 men on both of them.

It's still a tall order to win 3 of our remaining games but possible. Realistically we should be happy with that possibility at this stage.

No

Couldn't be much better all things considered. West Brom result a shame, but they play Sunderland, Sheff U, and Norwich next

I'd rather they beat West Brom and lose the others, but can't see it.

Same reason as the WSL, to make it sound better.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is at least one unexpected result from those games.

I can't see Norwich only taking 6 points from QPR, Swansea, West Brom, and Blackpool

I didn't think CCFC was a leaseholder

At this stage I'm not too worried about other team's results, we can get 74 points, most likely we won't get that many but the only teams fighting for the 2 last places that can get 74 are Millwall, Blackburn, Preston, West Brom, and us. Add to that, I think there is at least 1 permutation...

Sorry I meant to say 6 points from the next 3 games

They are at the top of this post. 3 wins will give us 71 points, and as the title suggests, maybe that could be enough.

I'm not too hung up on beating Blackburn, I think 6 points from the next 3 games would keep us in with an outside chance. Obviously 3 or even 1 point on Wednesday would be fantastic. We would then need to beat Middlesboro though. Edited.

Another thing to consider from Middlesboro's point of view is if we are in a position to finish 6th by winning there, and we went on to beat their strongest team, it would give us the double over them, a psychological advantage, and the confidence that we could beat them in the playoffs, whereas...

Those are the points I came up with for us and Norwich, but I'm now thinking West Brom are the team to watch. I had them on 67 points with 2 wins, but one of them wasn't yesterday's game. 3 more wins and a draw from 5 games will put them on 70 with a decent GD. I'm fairly sure 69 won't be enough.

But what does make sense is resting your best players if your position is locked in, to avoid any possible injuries

Also, Swansea have had a good run, taking 13 points from the last available 15. They can only make 68 so won't threaten the playoff places, but they will want to finish strongly. They play Norwich, Preston, and West Brom so could affect results

and won it

West Brom the team to worry about now, with their game in hand

Things will heat up from next Saturday, there is a game every day for 11 days
