Playoff/3 wins myth
Loads of people banging on about us having to win our last 3 games? We don't have to.

We have Bolton home Saturday which shouldn't even count really: If 3 points isn't gained then Slade may as well resign. Derby have more than enough to beat Wednesday at home.

Wednesday away. This is the difficult part. We need to win.

Birmingham home: A draw will do if Wednesday lose a tricky away trip to Wolves.

Counting my chickens a bit. But 2 wins (1 of them is Bolton) and a draw will do.

Because of goal difference we need to win them all and Sheffield Wednesday can't gain more than 1 point. Hopefully they go into the Wolves away game needing a win to guarantee it

Grange is right. 7 points is enough as long as the point is not against Sheffield Wed.

But Wednesday losing 3 games is highly unlikely.

People said 4 wins from 5, all nonesense which I pointed out. Yes we need to win the next two and hope Derby beat Shef. Then a point could be enough on the last day. What could cost us is defeat against Brentford
