If we win all our remaining games we will get to 72 points which will be good enough for a playoff place.
Anyone who has looked closely at the table this morning will have noticed that after yesterday's great result the lads have guaranteed a top 10 finish! I know LH will be very pleased indeed! Yes, Birmingham in 10th place can only catch us if they turnaround a 12 goal dif deficit which seems unlikely given our last game at home is against a Blackpool side that got whipped by 6 themselves yesterday!
Enjoying life as a Wanderer at the mo lads! 2 more wins and a mini cup run would be amazing!

I'm hoping that with a fair wind we may even be able to catch Palace and even though the goal difference is now massive, catching Brighton and getting 4th is not impossible.

Want to avoid Watford if we can.

I disagree golden as we have three players coming in. Wheater, Holden and Eaves. We are only at this moment going to require Wheater and very few of the first 11 have played regularly all season so can't claim fatigue. In fact DFs rotation policy could have helped.

@Neilturner83: If you take into account Dougie's points gained over 44 games this season (for Palace & #BWFC) we'd have been crowned champions today.

He left Palace on 24 points. Took over us when we were on 15. We are now on 66, which is 51 points. Guess the person just added the 24 points from Palace to the 66 we have now.
24 + 51 = 75 = Not Champions.

My biggest fear now is that we make the play offs and get to Wembley and then someone makes monkeys out of us in the final. I see that scenario as a nightmare after - you all know what - happened to us two years ago. I would far, far rather finish 7th than go through that.
Losing a play off final is the most painful event in the life of a league football fan.

Well, just done the BBC Championship Predictor at:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/predictor/default.stm
and it works out that 70 points is the cut off for guaranteed playoff places. I have us missing out on gaol difference to Leicester. As a bare minimum we have to get a point against Cardiff on Saturday. If we get beat then its all over for another year unless Forest get all 3 points against Leicester. Its all really tight, but 72 points guarantees playoff against Brighton and 70 points is a sneak in to the top 6 with a match against Watford. To close to call.
