We’re 4pts from promotion (1 Viewer)

[Ccfcsj]

The perfect scenario for me would be

Us win Saturday and Millwall and/or Middlesbrough win their game this weekend; Ipswich to lose to Norwich

Us win at Blackburn so we can celebrate promotion with the players rather than thanks to other teams

Us win against Portsmouth and win the title in front of our supporters

If Ipswich do lose one game they can only get to 90 points - we win the next 3 we will be on 93 points

Spot on, but I can't see them getting close to 90 points. 5 away games out of their last 7 including Norwich next and Southampton the 4th game in 9 days near the end.

They've only won 2 in their last 5 games. One against Sheffield Wednesday and their last game at home to Brum 2-1.

Imagine if we lose on Saturday. The panic will be huge on here.

We're already up, we have been for a few weeks.

A win on Saturday all but confirms that but not mathematically, the next celebration is when it is mathematically confirmed not "basically confirmed because we have a good goal difference".

We'd be a laughing stock if there was a pitch invasion for basically promoted but not yet.

Not quite as much as a laughing stock as blues who did a pitch invasion to celebrate relegation

Coventry publicans waking up this morning:

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.

Got a real challenge to work out a way for Millwall to overturn 33 goal difference deficit.

Maybe I wont bother!!!!!

1 for promotion

Let's not take getting a point at Blackburn for granted!! (Not saying we won't get it elsewhere though))

Even the draw brings Ipswich even closer!!!

think on another thread someone worked out that even if we lose every game 4-0 and they win every game 4-0, we'd pip them by +1.

Glad we didn't ease off at The Den, mind.

If Ipswich lose or draw against Pompey on Tuesday or Boro on Sunday then wins against Blackburn and Pompey will be enough for champions.

I already have and I don't fancy their chances.

Just looked at Oddschecker. You can still get them at 16/1. If you have a spare £30 you would get back £510 if they manage it. Otherwise we become Championship champions

If this is a total one off just check the odds currently available from each of the bookies. Check any special offers. There's a few offering 16/1. Otherwise tou can walk into one and place your bet.
