It’s going to be one hell of a end of the season, looking at the Fixtures think ours look the hardest with 6 being away from home.

Mitrovic seems to not be able to miss at the moment and villa looked good last night. Still think wolves will pip the title mind.

With villa,Fulham not dropping off I think we need to get 22 points to get promoted? 7 wins 1 draw 2 loses if we beat villa less could do it mind.

Positive we are the only team at home last day which could be vital with our fantastic home form.

Do I think we can do it, it’s going to be close just need to keep on winning

If we need 7 wins 1 draw that means both villa & Fulham need to win all their remaining games ? Not going to happen

But it doesn’t tho for villa and I think Fulham won’t be far off

6 wins will do it I reckon

Fulham have the easiest fixtures hopefully slip up at Millwall and Birmingham (last day Brum need 3 points won't be easy)
Then wolves next easiest. Ours and Villas not much in it really

I agree, our run in looks to be the toughest of the lot, but this is a competitive league, and it would be a fair bet to say most, if not all of these teams will have at least one unexpected defeat before the season is out.

Yes cos we have NW = been there and done it. As for Villa and Fulham, this is the Championship - there’s no certainty they will win all their games, and Villa (who have a soft underbelly and some tricky away days), will not fancy playing us. All to play for. 20 pts does it I reckon - 5 wins, 5 draws. It’ll go down to the wire as we don’t do anything the easy way. I cannot wait to see kenny, NML and Junior go at wolves, derby and Villa. Fearless. Bluebirds!

10 left for us but Warnock will be preaching just take it 1 game at a time ....!

But if I tried to play the prediction game ... and to be conservative say we get 5 wins , 2 draws and 3 defeats ... then that will put us on 90 points meaning Villa and Fulham have to win at least 7 and need 1or 2 draws depending on goal difference !

If either or both do that then fair do’s to them !

I think it's essential that somehow we must keep the 4 point gap to Villa (& obviously 5 or more to Fulham) before we meet Villa. We cannot allow them to be ahead of us after that game. It's going to be a massive effort to stop Villa on their patch now. God knows what that would do to the confidence at that stage of the season. Top 2 virtually all year, then 5 games left including the Wolves game to get an auto position back would be a huge ask, or what it would mean to our playoff chances. If Villa are above us you can bet Fulham will be thereabouts too. On the other hand, if we emerge from the Villa game, & then the Wolves game still 2nd, (or even higher) I think we will then be unstoppable ourselves. A huge next 6 games that will determine our season. Thankfully we have got the one manager I would want to have in this position.

It's all about who can handle the pressure best.
We are 3 points behind Wolves , I'm thinking that's a big gap we can't catch them.
We are 4 points in front of Villa and I'm thinking , that's a small gap they will easily catch us.
So tell me where's the logic in that ?
Football especially in the championship is never easy.
But it's one game at a time.
But Fulham and especially Villa with their expectations are going to feel the pressure more than us ( hopefully)

It will look a lot clearer this time next week. All 4 will have 8 fixtures left, 4 home and 4 away. 4 points this week keeps us ahead of Villa and increases the advantage on Fulham.

Agreed next week we will have a clearer picture, 6 points by then would be amazing as we have players coming back for the last 8 including Madine, and Morrison (fully fit) and Gunner, and the rest, with a full squad I think we can do it.
