Almost there!!!

Just another 15 points from 11 games (don't think we will be beaten on goal difference), well done tonight Fulham. At half time I was thinking a draw would be a good result, the sending off did help but then we went into overdrive.  :wine:

Not thinking that way. I want a proper job done as far as finishing as best we can. Game by game, focus only on the next opponent. Keep clear water between the teams behind us. Use our players, discover what is best going forward as far as hopefully a return to the Premiership. Decide what positions need improving &  sign the replacements early. Thanks & gratitude to the guys who are getting us ever so near. Keep them on as cover unless they just don't or can't cut it.
So pleased & happy as we stand. A clean & wholesome club with no "dirty money" links. What could be better?
COYW!!

Could be promoted before the next Home Game then ??!!!!

How about sealing it by winning up the road on April 2nd ???

Three wins would put us on 85 points

Huddersfield would have  played 40 by then so if they were not on 66 ??

[Jim©]

85 points has been enough on average over the last ten seasons (only one season req more).
90 points plus for the title please. 1949/2001/2022???

[Andy S]

The way I see it is 85 points will see us up and 90 will see us as champions. So let's keep on motoring

[Bronaldinho]

So refreshing to have a manager that believes in attacking football, I still think Scott wouldn't have pushed his team forward like that.

It's not over until we are either

• 22 points ahead of third place with seven games to go OR
• 19 points ahead of third place with six games to go  OR
• 16 points ahead of third place with five games to go OR
• 13 points ahead of third place with four games to go OR
• 10 points ahead of third place with three games to go  OR
• 7 points ahead of third place with two games to go OR
• 4 points ahead of third place with one game to go OR
• 1 point ahead of third place with zero games to go

We are current 14 points ahead of third place with eleven games to go. If we maintain our current lead for seven games, we get promoted before four games to go. I would prefer to avoid needing points in our last three games against Bournemouth, Luton, and Sheffield because we could do a Leeds against those three.

Let's be honest low 80's is getting you promoted this season which we could have in 6 days time if we win our next 2 games. The 3 behind also still have to play each other

I think us playing this stretch of away games really plays into our hands. If we were at home everyone would shut shop, use the low block - which we struggle against - and hit us on the break. At home they have to make an effort to come at us and then its us on the break and we can rip the hearts out of many teams doing that.

We should be aiming to win the league, get more than 100 points, score more than 100 goals, and get Mitrovic to 40 goals

[MartyFFC]

Call me greedy but I want 100+ goals, 100+ points, Mitro to break Whittingham's record, promotion to be secured at QPR; and the title secured at Bournemouth with a comprehensive victory that knocks Bournemouth out of the automatic spot and which ultimately results in Parker getting the sack. We literally may never see another season quite like this in our lifetimes; so drink it in and enjoy

If we manage that we could compare this to the promotion/championship winning side under Tigana.

Some beautiful football played under Silva as well.

A good table and so right, we really mustn't risk counting those chickens too early. However with our amazing goal difference I think at this stage a point could safely be deducted from the required points

[davew]

No such thing as a dead certainty, but Fulham being promoted this year is as close as there is to 1 now.

[Stoneleigh Loyalist]

Huddersfield next three matches..WBA away,  Milwall (form team) away, Bournemouth home.
None of them easy.

We actually need 16 points to guarantee automatic promotion as things stand right now since Huddersfield can reach 92 points in the highly unlikely event they win their last 10 matches. 15 more points would only give us 91.

But I agree that mid-high 80s will see us promoted automatically this season.

Plus one!  If that happened, I would absolutely do everyone's heads in talking about it, every time I've had 4 pints of lager!!

We should be aiming at reaching the international break with 82 points and 9 games to go. It would be nice by that stage that Huddersfield could be 62 points with seven games to go (i.e. maximum of 83 points) so that a win at QPR 100% completes the promotion. Alternatively going into the QPR game, we could be 76 points with three games in hand and Huddersfield are 74 points.

My point is we have to get the promotion in the bag as soon as possible, then we can sign up next years players as soon as possible. I am sure Anguissa and Cavalho will be more interested in reading contracts, once it is 100% we are playing in the premier league, something teams like Everton won't be able to say until the end of the season.

If we maintain our current lead for seven games, we get promoted before four games to go.

Thinking bigger and tempting fate to the full......we are confirmed champions and so enter the pitch at Bournemouth (4 games to go) through a guard of honour, with Mr Parker at its head.

A tough ask, but assisted if they continue their essentially mid-table form of recent months, meaning they won't have hit 80 points by kick-off time.  Fun thought anyway.
