The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[SoccerHQ]

No need for a parade. You get a trophy if you finish second.

I think we have a reasonably good run in. We could do with a point or three on Saturday to keep momentum. We'll beat Cardiff and finish second - just.

Think we can afford two draws from our home games left (Wolves and Derby).

The other four need to be won: QPR, Reading and Leeds because they're bobbins and then realistically we're probably going to have to beat Cardiff unless they go on another losing run.

Anyway break that down and that's up to 80 points from the home games. 10 points from the aways and I'd be very disappointed if we didn't go up on 90 points.

Fulham's run in looks worryingly comfortable.

It rarely works like that in practice, though.

Fulham have dropped points against a Bristol side who are collapsing since Boxing Day and Bolton.

They won their last home game 4-0!!

They've won 3 in 12.

Three home games for Fulham that are interesting for me are QPR, Brentford and Reading. QPR and Brentford are two local derbys and Reading is a bit of a grudge match after huge fall out from playoffs last season.

Reading are shit though

[Matt Collins]

As are QPR

On current form you’d make Fulham favourites based on the fixtures I reckon

But it’s a big ask to sustain that form for half a season which is what Fulham would have done

[Bad English]

I'm sorry Paul, I shouldn't have used it as an analogy to describe posters who seem at their wits end on a match thread when we have a bad five minutes.

Haha. It's why I very rarely go on the match threads during the game if i'm not there. Not really my cup of tea at all.

I love a good match thread. You.can sit there with your cocoa. See if we care!

Very worried if Fulham comfortably see off PNE on Saturday. That's their hardest away game left.

That said they have to go to the Den (same for us). Seems Millwall have hardly lost a home game all season.

[Richard E]

Fulham have less points than us and have played more games. They should be worrying about us.

[Virgil Caine]

The way I see it is that if we didn’t get automatic promotion I would prefer Fulham to be second. In the playoffs  I would back us to beat the remainder including Cardiff, I wouldn’t feel so confident if we came up against Fulham at Wembley.
