I'm expecting every one of our games to be moved for TV from now on to make sure Sky are there should we get promoted.

The next game week to be announced will be our Home game v. Sheffield Wednesday and with only 12 points up for grabs after that game, if we can extend our lead to 3rd by just 2 more points to 10 over the next 4 games, we could secure promotion with a win if its moved to a later KO or even Sunday/Monday.

ultimately for us to now get promoted 3 of 4 things need to happen. First we fail to get another 10 points and then 2 out of 3 of the others need to gain 2 or more points per game. It could happen but realistically given we’ve only lost 5 all season are we going to lose 5 of the last 9?

We've lost 6. Sorry to nit pick.

In my head, I've got Pompey, Sheff Wed and Blackburn as 3 'definites' plus then just pick up another few points/wins from any of the other games. It will happen, but if we do slip up in the next 2 games (not impossible) people will panic again. There would still be enough games left to do the business, and we will. Big performance tomorrow, and I'm having a couple of JDs post match.

We will win 3 out of the last 5 home games at least.

We beat Blackburn and Watford away.

Sheffield Wednesday at home is where we clinch promotion I feel. Clinching the title could go on a few games longer

I think that's likely to be too soon. We'd need to be sufficiently clear of 2 of the below scenarios:

After our game finishes at 2:30, Ipswich will still have 6 games left so we'd need to be at least 19 clear of them (very unlikely). Middlesbrough play at 3 so at 2:30 would still have 5 left so we'd need to be 16 clear of them as well.
Millwall will have 4 left so we'd need to be 13 clear of them.

The heading of this thread states that we need ten more wins but there are only seven matches left, so we have blown it.

Agree with this, the Wednesday game is too soon. It will be Blackburn or Pompey

If we beat Derby and Hull and Middlesbrough draw both their next two a win over Sheff Wed would clinch promotion............I think 🤔
