Reckon we’ll be fine even with 1.0 PPG.

I genuinely think we go up with 1 more win and win the league with 2. Obviously want more to be on the safe side but we are miles clear at this point and the others still scrapping over their head to heads, not being able to hit a cow's arse with a banjo (Middlesbrough), or a horrendous looking run of games in April (Ipswich).

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.

Hull is our toughest game remaining and I’m not scared of that or Wrexham.

It’s doable.

Derby are tough opponents, but will probably be without Agyemang which mitigates their threat somewhat.

It’s a tough game, but their away form has faltered somewhat. In more recent games they’ve been better at home > away and the trend for most of this season was the opposite.

Our home form is incredible and even with the lost v Southampton, were the better side and Derby aren’t on that level.

We’ll probably lose to Wrexham because I anticipate we’d have won the league by then.

We owe Wrexham one for the game at their place, so whether we are promoted or not by that point, I want us to batter them

Ipswich are the only team to do the double over us, so we won't want Wrexham to join that club.

I don’t usually back the parachute payment teams but I’d much rather Southampton get to playoffs than Wrexham.

Even if you're generous and add 2 PPG to Middlesbrough, Ipswich and Millwall, they would finish on 85, 85 and 83 respectively.

2 more wins should do it!

If/When the title is confirmed I don't think we will win another game, the players will have been on a week long piss up

Would like to see all the squad get decent run outs in the games after (if !!! ) it is confirmed.

Destroying their playoff hopes at the last minute would be excellent.

More worried about Derby than Hull.
Hulls home form isn't great and having seen them a couple of times recently I haven't seen any goal threat from them.

Hull have been hit by injuries to Giles, Gyabi, & Jacob who are all expected back by the next game.

Could be famous last words but I don’t think we’ve ever lost to a side with Ryan Giles in it.

They also have 8 players on international duty, it remains to be seen what, if any, impact that has on their next 2 games.

Beat us whilst playing for Hull, a few days after Man Utd at Wembley

And when he was at Shrewsbury first half of the season before he signed for us when we won League 1

It should be 4 points minimum for us. Even Derby have dropped off away from home. At one point, they had a better away form than us with 1-2 games in hand.

They beat Pompey away and before that had lost their previous 3 (Hull, Millwall and Watford) and were much stronger at home than all of them. As a whole, Derby hasn’t done that well against the top teams away.

Likewise with Hull at home, below average at home considering their league position.

We lost to Shrewsbury in League One when Giles was on loan to them.

I do as well, but if we win the league vs Pompey, we'll inevitably lose to them, again.

Can we have it sewn up in time for us to play The Under 14s against Pompey to ensure we keep Leicester in the Bottom 3

Losing to them when they were a conference team still bothers me. It was embarrassing.

4 wins needed for Title IMO to guarantee, 3 wins for promotion.

Derby, Sheff Wed, Blackburn, Pompey.

It would be unreal to win all last 7 games though

'Lads, they're pumping it into the box! Hide!'

Worst defensive display I've ever seen, I think, considering how rudimentary their tactics were.

Don't be so horrible.

Get through to the final at Wembley but lose on penalties. A proper Hollywood blockbuster. No parachute payment club goes up so a quarter of the Championship sides are getting Prem money. Poor Wrexham can't keep up with the spending of these clubs so they call out how unfair it is to see other clubs getting lots of extra millions.
