Promotion Maths

Enjoy the wins and the improving performances this season.

Win the title next season.

Leaving the maths to one side. Are we ready for promotion both on and off the field?
The team is coming together but I believe we're still three or four players short.
Don't forget off the field we were a shambles from top to bottom and it must be a mammoth task to turn that around. Wyness seems to be making a good start on getting the back office stuff sorted and we're becoming a well run club again.
Although I'd love to see us make the play offs I don't think the club as a whole is quite ready for promotion yet.

I'd worry about that if we got there.  What a ride it would be to win every game from now on in and get promoted at Wembley.

let's face it if we had a Wembley Cup run with that set of fixtures we would  fancy our chances

Only Rotherham look in complete control

We could still get relegated and I'm really worried now.

I for one am incredibly nervous.

My other half has booked our summer holidays.  We're going to Santa Monica, Palm Springs and then to downtown Los Angeles.
My only concern is the dates collide with the play off final. The final would be three days into the final I said I couldn't commit until I knew our fate but she was adamant on booking before prices go up. Purely because of the 3 kids and them missing time off school and prices going up after the whit-week holidays.

As insurance I've stuck £20 @ 50/1 to make the play off final +a free £10 bet with Sky bet.  That would get me £1500 return.  More than enough to allow me to fly back for 36 hours during the holiday for any eventual final.

I feel sick at the thought of it to be honest. Upsetting the Mrs. But I've been to all but 3 away games this season. There's no way I could miss a final.  Part of me hopes we don't make it just so I can rule it out.

Indeed. Not to mention the club would have the certainty of Premier League money next season, so any additions would be better quality than if they were planned on another season of parachute payments.

We've gained 6 points on Fulham in the last 7 games, in the remaining 7 we need to gain 10 points and overturn the 18 GD advantage they have, or gain 11 points. Fulham have lost 4 games in 4 months. Not gonna happen imo.

No I agree, I'm just focussing on momentum for next year and starting a season from a positive foundation for the first time in an age.

[Gerrin]

Fulham have 4 potentially tough away matches and they play us. I know they beat Newcastle away but Newcastle's home form hasn't been brilliant considering they are top.

[Lastfootstamper]

I'm looking forward to feeling gutted the season's over. We'll fall short, but it won't be by many. Two wins difference, something along those lines. A small handful of games more to play would've made things very exciting.

Be a nice change from praying for the feckin things to just be over.

It would need Fulham, Sheffieled Wed & Preston all to all have a poor run in and for us to keep up our incredible run.  I can't see either happening.  If we get another 12-14 points it will have still been a fantastic final quarter of the season which we wouldn't have dreamed about in Jan and good momentum for next year.

If we win 4 and draw 1 or 2 of the last 7 games, that will still be a good return.
