It's highly likely we would be still be top even if we lose all 3! I'm not sure in that scenario I'd be confident of us picking ourselves up to win the league on the back of 4 straight losses though.

Fantastic. Our final 5 should be pure points if we need them.

Neither Wrexham or Southampton can reach 86 points now. Their maximum is 84 if they win all remaining games.

Surely we can get to 89
I’m so terrified
This is something every supporter has to go through until / if we get over the line.

Boro's best form of the season over 8 games saw them pick up 18 points If they were to replicate that, they would get to 88
Millwall's best form got them 19 points which would put them on 87
Ipswich have 9 games left and their best form over 9 got them 22 points for a total of 90
If all 3 play at the best form they have all season, then 89 would get us promoted (4 more wins)
Worth mentioning that only Milwall are anywhere near that level currently with 18 over the last 8. Ipswich are on 18 from their last 9 and Boro are (shockingly) on 12 from 8.
So if all 3 play at their most recent form, Boro would be on 82 and both Milwall and Ipswich on 86. We would go up with 86 as Milwall are not going to overturn a 29 goal difference differential (3 more wins).
Chances are it will be somewhere between the 2 so chuck in a couple of draws in there for good measure and we'll be fine.

and for good measure they all play each other so it's iposible for all3 to reach that total.

4% on Opta
Would be a remarkable run of results especially playing so many in such a short space of time

It's impossible for them all to win every game and get max points but they can get to the numbers in my post as their best form has them all dropping points.

Looked at the table Jan.1st since then we have all since played 13 bar ipswich who have played 12. The teams who are closer now are Middlesboro 2 points and Millwall 3.There are only 8 games left and Millwall have to play 2nd and 3rd.IMO passing us is not happening

I know this sounds like the ramblings of a mad man but I will be gutted if I don't get to witness Grimes lifting the trophy, and wouldn't accept 2nd if it was offered to me now. I'd rather it plays out. We have got such an advantage. Everybody other than Coventry fans have already conceded that the title is ours, we just can't look at it objectively.
The Opta super computer says 95%? Some bookies not even taking odds on us to go up anymore.

I do reserve the right to strike my last post from public record if we lose to Swansea.

an average of less than 2 pointes per game is likely enough
I know but it helps with the shitting myself if we lose one game.
I've been a cov fan for along time and like people say the cov way of fucking up is always in the back of your mind.Rudi,Wright and Thomas will be a big miss Saturday but hopefully two of them are back for Derby game.

I just cant see it.I know but it helps with the shitting myself if we lose one game.
99% likely according to the boffins and bookies.
We surely cannot fall into the 1%

I suffered with constipation for years until we got to the top of the table and I must say every game we play now it quite as you would say making me quite looseI know but it helps with the shitting myself if we lose one game.
