Sky Bet odds for us to be promoted is 1/66 so the bookies think it’s more or less a done deal.

Those odds for Southampton are ridiculous.

The bookies probably back Southampton to go up via playoffs. As things stand, surely two of Boro, Ipswich or Southampton get promoted from here. To be honest, that’s generous on Southampton but they’re still only 5 points from playoffs.

Southampton and Ipswich can only hope for playoffs at best unless their away form picks up massively or Boro shit the bed.

The home game against us would likely be their only points of the season.

I think we'll probably need 40 points for automatics from here. Just on 1.5 pts per game so win the home games and the job's pretty well done...

Ipswich and Hull would need 2.3 points per game to hit 91, that would be some going

Yep. Let's see what they do in Jan. I don't think we'll do very much...

Anyway 91 is very doable for us and we want to be champions really. We got 45pts from Christmas last season half without Haji and just about nothing from Simmo...

No chance

The way the league is tracking and teams PPG etc, its going to be 83 or so for autos, 72 to make the play offs and 52 or 53 to stay up

One of them anomalies that come round every so often

Yep for me, aim for the 10 wins and anything on top is a bonus.

I had it at 87 for auto's, butlooking at the opta predictions it could easily be high 70's

We did it first half why not Ipswich in the second? That would put them about 89 I think. I'm taking nothing for granted

Everyone saying about winning our home games.

With all of the so called bigger teams still to visit the CBS I actually think our away form may get us over the line.

Charlton A
Leicester H
Millwall H
QPR A
Oxford H
Stoke H
Preston H
Derby H
Sheff W H
Portsmouth H
Wrexham H

Looking through the remaining games these ones I would expect us to win. There will be a few surprise results and I imagine we will pick up points against the big boys at home too.

Having this shitty run of games in December has really fixed up a lot of winnable games at the right times.

Im not there yet but I think if we best Ipswich theres no way we will be caught.

Ipswich are 2nd to us on home form and even then their home PPG is 2.08 and their away PPG is 1.18.

Our PPG at home is 2.63 which is incredible, we have 12 home games v 11 away games left to play. Ipswich have more away games left to play too.

Extrapolating their existing form, you could expect Ipswich to get around 37 points for the rest of the season. I’d expect they beat that but their away form is a big problem for them!

Saw something earlier that 3rd place was tracking towards a lowly 76 points. That’s a scary but welcoming prospect if it continues with all these draws for other teams.

We’re definitely good enough to finish the job. I think back to the Stoke game, that was a statement win against a side in close 2nd place. Now I wouldn’t really fancy them to finish top 6. It’d take a sickening collapse from here but form changes for everyone

That really is their cup final.
I remember them crowing when they beat us, when we never turned up due to the Man U semi the following week.
Oh how they laughed, then got relegated. Shame.
