As things stand, if the top 6 all carry on accumulating points at the current rate 6th place would be Bristol City on 73-74 points. That would mean we'd need 26 points from the 33 available and possibly to improve our goal difference compared to them (we're both +8 currently). that makes 8 wins the absolute minimum requirement. To start with winning the next 3 (blues, forest and boro) would be massive because they're all '6 pointers'. Get those and then add a win over Bristol City in April and, along with another couple of wins, we'd be right back up there going into Easter.
Well how's the points swing o meter looking now villa faithful!!!?
We haven't actually "gained" any points since the last update, as we won all the equivalent games last year, too.However, we have some wriggle-room now as we only got one point from Bolton away and Millwall at home last season... good chance to gain some points.

(Apart from that Wednesday match all deserved!)
