84 points should do it. (14 Viewers)

[Voice_of_Reason]

Bearing in mind our superior goal average, to exceed that:
Sky Blues need 4 points from 7 games
Boro need. 14 points from 7 games
Ipswich need 16 points from 8 games
Milwall need 16 points from 7 games.

With Ipswich v Boro and Ipswich have 3 home games and 5 away (including Saints). Boro v Milwall too.

Don’t think 2ppg is out of the question for a top three side in the run in, but we’ll get far more than 4 points from the remaining games.

We basically have 3 in the basket already with wednesday coming to town

 

[Saddlebrains]

2 wins and a couple of draws easy

No one is surpassing 88 of the following pack. They still arent even in the 70s (apart from Boro) with 7 to go

I had us down to finish on 94 and we’re tracking 2 ahead of what I predicted.

I agree we will be early to mid 90s

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

I agree we will be early to mid 90s

That would be so cool

 

[robbiethemole]

The last time we had this sort of gap was on 5/12/25, we had a 7 point gap to 2nd and 12 to 3rd!! For the second time this season we’ve stretched out a big lead, absolutely incredible achievement. We’ve gone 10 unbeaten, won 11 from 12 and now are 7 from 8, bearing in mind, this IS Coventry City!
Imagine the gaps if we hadn’t had the winter blip!

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

I want to finish on 97 so we get more than Ipswich did then they went up.

Think we’ll probably get about 90 though as we’ll probably get promoted by Portsmouth and then go on the piss.

I'm already on the piss.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

If we can get 6 points from Derby and Hull, looking at the other fixtures, a win against Sheff Wed and it's done

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

I would love us to hit 87 points and for promotion to be mathematically confirmed on that day….

And then go on to get as many points as possible.

 

[Paxman II]

I think it's all over now. Points wise i see us minimum of 88. That will be top two and promotion. Anything else is a bonus.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I found the following prediction widget interesting on the Telegraph. I had us ending on 91 points with Millwall in 2nd!!

[jackdg]

Highest margin for title winner of the Championship is 14pts… let’s get another record in the bag

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Think I had us with 90 points, and at this point we’re two points better than I expected. Had us to draw to Southampton and lose yesterday

Stop with this nonsense.

 

[shepardo01]

Save that for Blackburn away.

 

[Travs]

I just did that predictor.... being as pessimistic as possible, i still got us on 93 pts (beating Sheff Weds, Portsmouth, and Blackburn).

But i did have Ipswich finishing on 91, and Middlesbrough on 89 (again being as pro (Ipswich/M'boro as possible)..... so 9 more pts does it for me.

I had Wrexham making the playoffs on GD, and Leicester staying up with quite a lot to spare.

I've been saying for months 87 will be enough.

 

[Gint11]

Let’s chill out on the equations. We’re as good as Champions. It’s nailed on

 

[baldy]

Don't count your chickens...

Or owls even

 

[SonofErnie]

95 points seems a reasonable target, but even then I'm not sure where 2 defeats (or 3 draws) would come from.

it's not impossible to see us winning every game.

Hull will be a tough game and Derby are fighting to stay in the playoff race so won’t be easy either

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Stop with this nonsense.

Is it nonsense to suggest we can count as a given victory against a side whom we have nearly a 100 goal difference advantage against and who hasn’t won in over 30 games?

 

[Cov kid 55]

They held Ipswich for 80 minutes recently….

I had Wrexham making the playoffs on GD, and Leicester staying up with quite a lot to spare.

And Blackburn beat Millwall and held boro in the last two games. And drew with Ipswich in the rearranged game…..

 

[CraigSBA]

Im not going to pretend like we shouldnt be beating them just to not tempt fate sorry theyve won 1 game in 39 , we are more than likely going to win this match

 

[StrettoBoy]

Imagine the gaps if we hadn’t had the winter blip!

Imagine not only that but also if we had done the double over Ipswich (which I think we were good enough to have achieved but for our dip) instead the other way round

By my calculations we would now be 112,463 points clear of them

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

When the going gets tough the tough get going.

 

[SonofErnie]

Not suggesting either game will be easy, but our team is clearly superior to both of them.

 

[long way home]

Doug will want promotion secured asap, he has to get his plans in motion. But FL will be 1 game at a time but 1st he will want Rudoni back and every other player on international duty back fit and some with having not been involved in games.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

What is going to be annoying is because Sky has brought forward the Blackburn game to Fri night the fans could not see on the pitch us guarantee promotion.

Possibly down to the next day when all rivals play-be awful to wait on results and not actually celebrate it with team.

Then we’d go to play Pompey as promoted but maybe wining confirms title?

Thing is we don't need to win either of those games. It's much easier when games are not must-win.
