ExiledGeordie Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 A win today would almost seal it. Psychologically Huddersfield have taken a whack now too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Win today and it's a 9 for promotion and 8 to win the league. Just can't bank anything on the home form and have to hope away doesn't run out, if so the pressure will become incredible at sjp and I'm unsure whether the squad have the stomach for it. Be great to see others weaknesses come through for a change. Brightons & Huddersfield smaller and less capable squads making mistakes and picking up a few key injuries (that looks like it's changing a bit for both, but both have had a lot of luck in those two areas this season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Huddersfield winning 7 and drawing 1 out of their last 9 games and that's what they'll need to do if we do get another 15 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically, 84 points is the highest tally needed to guarantee promotion. I say that to say 92pts would probably be overkill and we could reasonably expect 88/89 to do job lest go down in history as the best 3rd placed team. Ergo, 4 more wins from the remaining 9 should do it. The next two games on paper should be bankers you know... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that we needed 92 points, I said we could see our form dip from what it has been so far and still get that many points. I think we're going to be OK and people need to relax.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Our home form has ruined it for us. We'll be lucky to scrape 6th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varadi Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Massive result tonight, if we win tomorrow that's a 6 point lead even if Huddersfield win their game in hand. 7 if you consider goal difference Yeah but don't forget that they only have to win every remaining game 3-0 to stand a chance of making that up on us. You've done well sticking with this thread, I just ignore it for a while after we lose a game. Only 2 wins in the last 5 for Huddersfield now (2 in 6 if you include their FA Cup thumping) - they're slipping towards the end as they were always likely to.

toondids Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I really hope we can pull away from the pack today. I honestly thought we'd all but confirmed our promotion bid. Tough league to play in, let's get the 3 today and hope Leeds does us a favour. Toon Toon!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Nine matches left and we're six points and 34 goals ahead of third! Anyone who still isn't a 10 is off their head! Still chuckling at the 6s after the Fulham defeat like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 General FM wisdom tells us that at the top you can generally make up one point a game. Ergo, FM can't be used as an indicator for real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I still can't believe I thought this squad was the best in the division. 3-4 injuries exposes it comically bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
