You're correct. I miscounted. Seven points as Cardiff have two byes in the next week.

That's just loser talk, cd.

Blose will win Tuesday, thus instilling in themselves, like point-winning Barnsley, a belief that they can escape, in turn inspiring them to unlikely back-to-back victories.

Ergo, our win over the dogheads will see us back into second, and once again in control of our own fortune.

Probably a 15/1 shot for SHA to win their next two.

New manager bounce might let them get something next weekend.

If new manager bounce was that effective, Leeds would win every game.

Based on last 22 seasons of current format of championship the MOST points required to make the playoffs was 76. That should be our first target to get that in the bag by the time we have played Hull on 31st March.

Probably better to put it in this thread,

Current runs the 3 of us are on

Us W9 D1 L1
Fulham W11 D3 L0
Cardiff W7 D2 L0

As for Wolves W3 D3 L2. If they lose tomorrow at Leeds then the pressure really starts for them for the first time.

Preston away isn't going to be easy for Fulham and then there is the QPR derby

I'll say it again, I will absolutely piss my pants if Wolves screw up promotion!

It'll be hilarious!

Wolves must be looking over their shoulders a touch now

Wish I could trust Leeds not to fuck it up. They concede bad goals

Grealish in for hogan on Saturday and let’s go for it. Gonna be massive

Wolves could plausibly be 2nd by the end of the game on Saturday. Cardiff have got Blues at home which will be a cricket score and of Wolves lose tomorrow and Saturday the goal difference could easily switch in Cardiff's favour.

What I want from rest of the season:

4 points from Cardiff-QPR

4 points from Hull-Bolton

3 points from Reading

4 points from Norwich-Ipswich

6 points from Leeds-Cardiff

4 points from Derby-Millwall.

7 wins from 11. We would surely get second with that. 91 points.

Can't Fulham only get a maximum of 94 points?

Cardiff are only beating bottom half teams by a single goal. They have lots of tough away games coming up. They will surely drop points.

Massive few days for the Dogheads, win tomorrow and Sat and that's them up imo. Lose them both and the ghost of 2002 looms large.
