Whoever would have thought after the Brentford game that we'd win the next 7 and be 2nd. It's ace.

I bet Ads did!! ;)

We'll still draw a few I reckon as we won't keep winning forever nice as it would be.

Let's say a good point at Fulham, PNE to draw at VP, draw with Wolves. Draw at Bolton, draw at Ipswich and a point at home to Derby to secure promotion.

Stuff Wolves, its automatic promotion which should be the focus. I'd take a draw next week if offered.
Also dont want to need to do to the Den last day needing anything, they are strong at home and love causing an upset.

Much as I would like a trophy to show for our efforts, the only thing that matters is promotion. Whatever else we can do is just a bonus.

You get a trophy for winning the play-off final.  I don't think my heart would stand the strain to get hold of that one.

Ryanair Dub to Brum, has to be done.

I'm over for QPR and Leeds, here's hoping we're still in 2nd at that point!

I keep thinking this winning streak can’t keep going but I’ve just been reading the odd man out book about Ron Saunders. In his first year which brought promotion our last eighteen game run was won 15, drawn 2 and lost 1. Wouldn’t that be nice this season!

I think the best way to guarantee promotion is for Bruce to tell the team to focus on winning the championship. Look up not down and all that.
