We’re 4pts from promotion (5 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.

 

[coop]

It will be great if we can win the league and get presented the trophy after putting Hollywood in there place.We certainly should be celebrating after Saturday as its not done and dusted.First of all we have to hope the lads find there shooting boots and instead of shit crosses and wild shooting from anywhere are more controlled in front of goal go a few up early if possible then keep it tight and get a few more.No pitch invasion as that is just fucking ridiculous,DK will be putting a statement out this week I suspect that anyone going on the pitch will be dealt with.Lets not spoil it now and just get behind the lads from the stands.A stadium ovation if we win Saturday as the players hopefully go around the pitch instead of spending ages at singers corner.

So the team scoring lots of goals because we have lots of goalscorers will score only 1 and the side without goalscorers will score 7

Forget about Middlesbrough and Millwall. 12 points behind us with 5 games to go. We should beat Sheffield Wednesday to make it 15 points ahead with the GD on top. We're not going to lose our last 4 games. Ipswich are our only serious rivals but are 12 points behind with just 7 games to go. Beat Sheffield Wednesday and we're 15 points ahead of Ipswich with 7 games to go for them. That's 5 wins out of 5 just to have a chance of keeping up with us with 2 games to go.

Ipswich are not going to win every single game remaining. I don't even think they will win their next game. We just need to keep plugging away waiting for Ipswich to drop points.....and they will.

Take a chill pill and enjoy the rest of the season.

Fuck me…. We’re getting promoted!

Sorry your lost me at "I assume"

In danger of looking a gift horse in the mouth I find myself hoping Millwall win on Friday so we can't officially confirm promotion this weekend, I want it to be at full-time of our game rather than someone else's a few hours later.
