would 88 points be enough for auto promotion?

anyone think 88 points would guarantee automatic promotion to the premier league this season ,

because hold your breath that's what points are still available to us

our next game is our hardest/biggest of the season, just because its our next one ,
I don't fear any team ,as long as we put in our best performance ,we can beat anyone in this league

remember ,those that said we would get nothing away at wolves (we won)
remember those that said we would lose to brighton (we won)
remember those that said we would not beat an in form preston (we won)
and remember those that said we would not beat Bristol .(we won)

time to believe in our club
tell your mate whos stopped going
to get down the stadium with you and support the team ,
with greater support on the terraces ,remember
1400 of us sung and sung drowning out the Bristol fans on Saturday lifting our players to dig deep and get the win
what noise could 15/16/18/20 thousand of us generate
so come on believe believe believe until its not possible don't give up
the team needs YOU and me

I think 88 points will be close but we wont win all our games

So no one thinks 88 points would be good enough

and no one thinks we should not fear any teams in the championship on our best form

Sorry paul
you posted just before mine

I like your optimism Steve

We have a near impossible chance of top two, purely because we'd have to make up 12 points in eleven games. Very unlikely.

I have said for a few weeks now though that we have a great chance of the top six, and that is in our control. If, and it's a big if, we do make the play-offs and get there in good form then we may well fancy our chances against any of the other three teams due to form and momentum.

But lots of ifs and buts there.

All we can do is think about the next few games, and see where we are

My opinion is that we can now get nine points out of the next three. But even seven would put us in a good position.

No way will I be thinking about automatic promotion though.

1 game at a time lads 1 game at a time........certainly no need to fear any side the form we are in though

Middles boro smashed us mate that's the level to get automatic

We've just won back to back games for the first time in over 6 months and you think we can win 13 in a row?!?!?

middlesboro did not smash us
we took the lead
gifted them an own goal equaliser
created more chances away all season but didnt take them
bad defending let them then take the lead
we beat them at home lost away

Was thinking the same thing. We've finally actually managed two successive wins, and now people are talking about another twelve on the bounce. That would make 14 wins on the trot, when was the last time we achieved that?

When was the last time any championship side managed it?

People are so negative on here!! 4 sides have managed it and it is in fact a joint record so it's well doable! All we have to do is equal the record we don't even have to beat it!

In English football four teams share the record of 14 consecutive wins:

– Manchester United 1904-05 – Second division
– Bristol City 1905-06 – Second division
– Preston North End 1950-51 – Second division
– Arsenal 2001-02/2002-03 – Premier league


And that's just the English Football record!

It's 13 on the trot and we've won 2 and there's 11 left.

It took us 34 games to record 13 wins this season.

Let's be realistic ffs

Its been done four times in 100 years

Lyndipops you are calling people out for being negative for saying that we won't record 13 straight wins . How ludicrous does that sound.

Not going to happen.

But would we need 88 points to guarantee promotion or could it actually be less?

League is shite this year so could be less. Purely depends on how the top 3 do. Think teams have gone up on less (79-82)

Why not aim for the moon and if you miss reach for the stars, in fairness he did encourage to believe

Won't get 88
Won't get auto...

Play Offs ?

Can't get 88 now

Sorry for being negative

After reading the first part of the reply I was expecting 4 teams to have done it this season

Can't get 88 now

Looking at our remaining games, I think we'll end up on somewhere around the 70 point mark.

85 could still be enough and we don't have to equal the record now!
