We’re 4pts from promotion (15 Viewers)

No invading pitch let the lads do a lap of honour first

We should not assume we are there already. We have a tough game at Sheffield next, and lose that and others pick up wins and the pressure is back on.

Defintely tougher if we play at a different ground to the one on the fixture list....

We are playing at the CBS

Quaking in my boots that Middlesbrough might overturn +21 goal difference or Millwall might overturn +33 goal difference.

We’re already up but win on Saturday and we’ll be up in all but name.

I assumed our goal difference was unassailable. However assuming a Sheffield Wednesday win, could this happen?

Ok real pessimistic view below

Assuming 1-0 win v Sheffield Wednesday then four losses in theory could be a swing of say -7
ie +1 v SW
-2 v Blackburn
-1 v Portsmouth
-3 v Wrexham
-2 v Watford

Middlesbrough gain +16
+4 v Portsmouth
+1 v Ipswich
+7 v Sheffield Wed
+2 v Watford
+2 v Wrexham

Considering the shots Middlesbrough have those win margins are not impossible if they finally get their shooting boots on.

The above is a -23 swing and we would finish third. I was confident until I typed this but not so confident now.

hahahahaha

 

[shmmeee]

hahahahaha

Firstly: yeah
But secondly: no more so than the idea we suddenly lose four out of five while Boro win all their games.

We’re up for all intents and purposes. We’re champions really for all intents and purposes. Just needs mathematical confirmation now.

 

[Hincha]

God I hope people don’t invade the pitch - the players will be confused as they’ll know the job isn’t done & we’ll be a joke to a lot of other fanbases.

It will likely be Pompey for the title - save it for then

oh do get to fuck that isn't happening is it

 

[Johnnythespider]

Exactly- not yet promoted for a start and then the optics of celebrating on the pitch because we have just beaten the worst Championship team ever .

We wouldn't be celebrating beating Wednesday would we, we'd be celebrating promotion gained over the season which will be guaranteed imo, nobody's turning that goal difference round in 4 games, Millwall won't even match Boro's goal difference never mind ours, I'm not a pitch invader anyway but can understand that those that might want to.

Only a City fan of some years could even consider this, but I mean even the most pessimistic amongst us must surely believe now.

 

[Sbarcher]

Yep and it would be sods law for the EFL to punish us with a points deduction.

^^^^
This, be careful!

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

I know I'm probably pissing in the wind but I hope there isn't a pitch invasion. I'd like to see the players be able to celebrate on the pitch with 'all' the fans rather than having to scarper for their lives.

 

[Mercian In Anglia]

I think it's really important over the next couple of weeks that as a fan base we remember that this isn't just about points records, the trophy presentation, all of the goals, the growth and character these boys have shown after all those heartbreaks, the CBS in our hands, those who travel every week and those who can't, the Premier League, the global recognition, those who aren't with us to share this moment, the financial future of the club, Team of The Season awards, the knock on impact on the community...

It's also about laughing at how shite Lesta and Blues are.
