Next Sat two tricky games for rivals
Blackburn v Boro
Ipswich v Millwall

Ipswich v Millwall
Yup. Blackburn will certainly be buoyed by their win at the New Den and will still be desperate for pointsNext Sat two tricky games for rivals
Blackburn v Boro
Ipswich v Millwall
Yeah, you may well be right. I think Derby could be tough, but still think we will win..Personally, I think our next home to Derby will be tough... Hull away will be easier.

Could well see that one being a draw.
No idea on the Ipswich v Millwall encounter, but a draw would probably suit us best
Yeah, I did keep that in mind too. That's probably a better outcome.It would be better really if Ipswich or Millwall win and they also beat Middlesbrough As it takes another game away from 2 of the 3 and leaves only 6 to go
Can imagine Southampton possibly needing something from the final game of the seasonIpswich quite a tough run here as well.

Hull have been over performing all season.Really??
Regardless 3-4 wins needed from 8 is a magnificent position to be in
They don't have saints last day. It's the Tuesday beforeCan imagine Southampton possibly needing something from the final game of the season
I think the draw is best. Potentially gives us an 11 point lead with 7 games to go if we beat swanseaIt would be better really if Ipswich or Millwall win and they also beat Middlesbrough As it takes another game away from 2 of the 3 and leaves only 6 to go
Agreed2 wins and a draw will enough for automatics, IMO.
Okay. It was just last on that list of AFC's, so I assumed it was the last gameThey don't have saints last day. It's the Tuesday before
Wright injury is a little red herring for sure. I think it’s less about the wins needed and making sure we keep the gap where it is. Once it becomes a win between us and the rest anything can happen.No disrespect to Sheff Wednesday, but that should be one win
The other home games are Derby, Portsmouth and Wrexham.
You have to fancy at least one win there too. Let's say, it was only to be two wins out of that, we would probably need then just one win out of Swansea away, Hull away, Blackburn away and Watford away
Very attainable isn't it.
I am a bit worried about Wright's injury, but I hope he's going to be okay and if missing, it's just a couple of games or so.
Anything can happen of course, but I am thinking, maybe draw against Swansea, beat Derby, beat either Pompey or Wrexham, beat Wednesday, draw at Blackburn and hopefully the Watford game will have nothing riding on it.
Anyway, that would 11 points probably before the Watford game.
Though I am sure there will be twists and turns still to come.
Odd side - I watched a bit of them yesterday and they were garbageHull have been over performing all season.
Too close for comfort2 wins and a draw will enough for automatics, IMO.
Most of the hard games at home though and soon. So they could be breathing down our necks at some pointIpswich quite a tough run here as well.

The 3 below us are and will drop points. I’ve said it before but the Fulham team that gets lauded lost 10 games the year they went up.Too close for comfort
For sure they will drop points and I think 84 would be v borderline. Might get us promotion, might not. I think my point is though from a fan perspective you’d want a lot more. Imagine the stress of only getting 2 wins and a draw from now.The 3 below us are and will drop points. I’ve said it before but the Fulham team that gets lauded lost 10 games the year they went up.

Yeah, wouldn’t disagree with that. Great position to be in.It’s better than the teams below who have to chase points - after 26 games we were 1 point worse off as a lead. Nothing has really changed in the last 12 games and the points average is well below 2 per game
He was holding his groin, so I do think there is an injury there. They may be just trying to manage itWright injury is a little red herring for sure.

I'm thinking 13 points. That is for top spot.3 wins and a draw at least. 10pts.
That's a tough run of fixtures especially that game against Norwich, a derby game with the form Norwich are in will be extremely difficult for them, reckon Norwich does then over, want them to draw with Millwall and think that Southampton game will be a draw.Ipswich quite a tough run here as well.

i remember we beat them easily as well at the then RICOHThe 3 below us are and will drop points. I’ve said it before but the Fulham team that gets lauded lost 10 games the year they went up.
If we had have won yesterday, I think we would have been pretty much there. That would have been 12 points clear of 3rdThat's a tough run of fixtures especially that game against Norwich, a derby game with the form Norwich are in will be extremely difficult for them, reckon Norwich does then over, want them to draw with Millwall and think that Southampton game will be a draw.
If we beat Swansea on Saturday then it's a cracking position to be in this close to the end, I hope Millwall do eventually get that 2nd place
