I have joined the Church of the latter day Promotion Believers.

[Matt Collins]

Surely not?!

We'd have to win every game and Both Fulham and Wednesday would have to go into relegation form

Fulham will get at least 10 more points.

They won at Newcastle comfortably the other week I remember.

[AV82EC]

On the basis that we need to take each game as it comes:

Tuesday/Weds

Aston Villa v QPR    Home win
Derby v Fulham.      Draw (or Derby win?)
PNE v Bristol City.   Home win
Rotherham v Wendy Away win
Hudds v Norwich.    Home win

Really need Rotherham to do Wendy.

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

We can't do it.

We won't do it.

And even if we could do it, you've all jinxed it by thinking we can.

Burn the heretic!

I  said at the time if we beat Huddersfield, we would be in with a chance.  I still stand by that.  So we will fall a couple of points short. 

Africas Nations Cup will have cost us promotion.

Let's not do this to ourselves. Dr Tony has got it right: forget the maths, just concentrate on getting the wins. There's no need to cloud any growing positivity or focus with stress and anxiety about whether we'll make the playoffs or not. Save that for next season. It's more likely we'll be looking down the table rather than up.

[mr underhill]

you can't go through two  periods of dire form like we have and go up. It was, though, the first 12vgames that did for us. The only positive of RDM was buying Kodjia.

Why was it the first 12 that did for us, when that bad spell under Bruce was far worse points wise?

Surely we gave teams like Huddersfield 10-15 points start.

Let's not forget we had to go on a very good 2 month run under SB from when he joined just to get back in the top half. Even at xmas after beating Burton we were still I think 7 points off 6th.

It's not like August when everyone starts on 0 points.

As pleased as I am with our good current form I'd much rather see us as relentless like this in August. Just hope when the pressure is back on we don't go back to drawing and losing games 1-0.
