The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[David_Nab]

Just no room for error in the league now , the form of the top 6 is unreal currently

[OzVilla]

With the form of Wolves, Fulham and Cardiff every game is a cup final. I keep hearing about their tough games coming up but they're not even drawing let alone losing. Like I said 10 cup finals.

We need to win 7 to stand a chance. Were going to need to repeat what we've done this year all over again.

Wolves still have Boro and Cardiff away, 2002 is still on for a repeat.

[Toronto Villa]

7 points behind Cardiff it is then as I can't see us getting anything against Wolves. Automatic promotion gone if we lose tonight.

Thank fuck you’re nowhere near the players. Grow a pair.

Looking forward to your assessment of what we did wrong Quinton. Or you can just say it was brilliant and move right along.

At 4 o'clock this afternoon I very much doubted that we'd be making up ground on Cardiff today. 

[PeterWithesShin]

Pretty sure about a month ago Wolves were something like 13 points clear at the top.

League wise, 1992-93

[Deano's Mullet]

Cup wise we've done it in 94, 96,  97 and 98 and probably 2-3 times under MON

I maintain that the golden rule of championship will not be broken.

Get 2 points a game, ie 92 points, 23 more in 10 games... and we will get an automatic spot.

8 wins or 7 wins and 2 draws from 10.

After today no-one to fear, not even Millwall away

We might not need quite that many, but I suspect the 90 a few have been saying since the summer will prove to be the target.  7 wins out of 10 with one of them being Cardiff and I think it's in the bag.

[PeterWithesShin]

Current runs of form the top 4 are on

Wolves W4 D3 L3
Cardiff W8 D2 L0
Villa W10 D1 L1
Fulham W12 D3 L0

[SoccerHQ]

Cardiff will drop points in the next week, I'm certain of it. We should cut the gap to them to 2 at least before the break, would be disappointed if the gap was still four.

Fulham is going to be a bit more of a problem I think.

That said 7 wins and 3 draw from our last 10 would have us on 93 points. Am I right in saying Fulham would have to win every single game left to better that.

So that should be the target. Way we played tonight we're capable of 24 more points this season.

[PeterWithesShin]

Fulham can reach 95 points. Currently on 68 with 9 games to play.

In addition to the form above, Wolves have taken only 5 points from the last 5 games.
