Ipswich and Boro play each other, so less than that but still very unlikely
Ipswich and Boro play each other, so less than that but still very unlikelyThere are 6 games in April and 1 in may. So, unlikely. We would need to be 21 points ahead of 3rd to be promoted by the end of march.
Ipswich v Boro to end as a draw would be ideal. Draws in some of the others too depending on points tallies.There's a big week of games coming up which will change the top of the table.
Monday Birmingham v Middlesbrough. If Middlesbrough don't win they will be 7 or 8 points plus a massive GD behind us.
Tuesday Ipswich v Hull. Ipswich have to win to have a decent chance of catching us. Hull have to win to keep in the chase. A draw would be perfect.
Saturday Hull v Millwall. This could well be the game that puts the race down to the mighty Sky Blues, Middlesbrough and Ipswich and they still have to play each other. The run in has definitely started.
Both Ipswich and Middesbrough are performing at least 2 points a game for the last 10It’s based on how many of the chasing pack have to play each other in not many games. Suppose we end up with 86, with the goal difference any team bar perhaps Ipswich will need 87 to overtake us. That in turn means two clubs winning at least 8 of the remaining 11/12 fixtures.
This obviously isn’t impossible but it requires almost perfect form.
Well they have tougher games over the last 10 so id be amazed if they did.Both Ipswich and Middesbrough are performing at least 2 points a game for the last 10
Not good enough, we’ve got 19 from last 9 and are miles clear of both.Both Ipswich and Middesbrough are performing at least 2 points a game for the last 10

Yea, if we replicate that theres no chance they catch us. This was in reference to that 85/86 points will be enough, it might be enough but I would rather get 88 and not be relying on other teams to slip up.Not good enough, we’ve got 19 from last 9 and are miles clear of both.
Problem as soon as you’re top you’re a target, teams are upping their game,if they can’t beat us they are doing their best to stop us. We’d be exactly the same. There will be no easy games, we’re going to have to earn every point.I think 87 will be enough.
Assuming Sheffield Wed home win, 3 additional more wins plus 4 draws.
Noticeable every team who seems to fancy their chances for autos or play offs all won yesterday somehow even if not at their best.
Shame Portsmouth lost, want them on the beach. Hopefully Bristol C and Swansea too.
If Boro manage it for the final 10 or so games, looking at the fixtures, then fair play if they can.Both Ipswich and Middesbrough are performing at least 2 points a game for the last 10
I’ve got us down for about 18 points over these last games. Think there will be a bunch of battling draws as we play a few teams with something to play for.
89 points at the end, which is the same as what I'd predicted a while back. I had Boro down to get 91, but that was assuming they'd beat both Oxford and Lesta.I’ve got us down for about 18 points over these last games.

Let's see what the table looks like first. They play each other towards the end of the season.Ipswich v Boro to end as a draw would be ideal. Draws in some of the others too depending on points tallies.
Fail to win tomorrow and it's suddenly 4 without a win having previously won 6 on the bounce. The league is wild though, they could just as easily then win the 6 after that.Let's see what the table looks like first. They play each other towards the end of the season.
We're on just over 2 ppg. Middlesbrough are 1.85ppg before their game at Birmingham and Ipswich are on 1.81 ppg. If they don't close the gap on this it could well be down to just 2 of us by then. Middlesbrough certainly need to turn their form around quickly considering their last 2 games were against 22nd and 23rd in the table for a total of 1 goal and 2 points.
Lose tomorrow and they have to win 3 more games than us with just 11 to go.Fail to win tomorrow and it's suddenly 4 without a win having previously won 6 on the bounce. The league is wild though, they could just as easily then win the 6 after that.
In serious 'time running out' stage.Lose tomorrow and they have to win 3 more games than us with just 11 to go.
That's why I say the run in has already started. Our last 4 wins have put us in a great position and the sides behind us can't afford to get a worse result than us now. Both sides need 2 more wins than us with more games to play. Them 11 points between us and Ipswich are massive.In serious 'time running out' stage.
This is what I want so I can (almost) stop worrying.If we could just win the next 4 in a row that would be great.
I think if we did that, any games after would just be a lap of honour tbh.This is what I want so I can (almost) stop worrying.
Preston - WOver the next 5 games target is 9/10pts.
Hasn’t the season already ended?I think our last 5 fixtures the teams we play have nothing to play for in terms of play off and relegation. Even Wrexham will be in or out by the last game week and they will want to rest players ahead of a play off semi.
