How many wins do we need now to secure promotion?

My maths skills are rubbish so if anyone knows I would be very grateful :ayatollah:

I think 11 points sees us up at the moment no matter what, so that would be 4 wins or 3 wins and 1 draw. :ayatollah:

Correct mathematically, but that will change when Watford/Hull drop points ,realistically we need 2 wins

You are in real trouble if multiplying 6 by 3, and adding the result to 70 is beyond you. ;)

Hiwever, ive worked it out, and we need 768 more points, which is 19 wins or 79 draws. We've 7 games left, so by my calculations we've blow it.

Aye, win on Sat and win vs Barnsley and we're all but up, if not mathematically up.

It's 11 pts to go up at the mo - if Watford don't beat us on saturday the need will be single figs/pts.

Even if Watford beat us on saturday...i say 3 more wins and a draw will do it as i can't see WATFORD / HULL -
Winning all their remaining games .

Aye, win on Sat and win vs Barnsley and we're all but up, if not mathematically up.

And all we have to do if that happens is match Watford's result in the following game and we are up mathematically :ayatollah:

Actually if we beat Watford Saturday, the maximum points they can get is 85. We will be on 81. We will only need 5 pts then for guaranteed automatics. So basically 8pts is what we need which includes beating Watford.

This is the little quirk when promotion hopefuls play each other. It's 11pts even without a win at Watford, but 8pts with a win at Watford. The classic 6 pointer.

Spot on Craig,but what i am saying is ( IMO ) we will still need less than the 11 as i can't see the other 2 teams winning all their remaining games ( if we lose to Watford ).

Yes looked at it several times unless both the other teams win al there games 8 will be enough regardless of sat result.
They both won't win all their games need only drop 2points, and 8 enough for us
