Im starting to give up hope of promotion. Injuries to key players, passionless manager and underperforming players. Roll on the summer so we can make some big changes.

Agree I'm afraid.

I've said all along that we can't afford really, to drop more than 4pts from the remaining fixtures! IMO. So now is the time we really need to be going on one of our unbeaten runs!

I'm beginning to think 80pts is the absolute minimum we need for 2nd place - may need as many as 85 as can't rely on goal difference.
We've got 63pts - this means with 8 matches to go picking up 17 - 22 points (ie >2 points/game)
7W 1D = 22; 7W 1L = 21; 6W 2D = 20; 6W 1D 1L = 19; 6W 2L = 18; 5W 3D =18; 5W 2D 1L =17.
Not sure I can see any of these happening. Have had some bad spells since losing to Swans but I reckon 2pts from last 12 was a killer.
Norwich/Swansea need 13/14 pts to get 80pts - they have to play each other so a draw there must be best for us.
For reasons given by murphy above I think we'll miss out on 2nd place - but surely we can't miss out on play-offs :roll:
Haven't given up all hope of promotion via play-offs but can't say I feel very confident. :(

2nd place over last couple seasons:

06/07 Brum 86 points
07/08 Stoke 79 Points
08/09 Brum 83 points
09/10 WBA 91 points

So 80 points not likely to be good enough, but Stoke managed to go up with only 79 points!
