7 Wins to go....

You're there guys. Stop sweating.

Looking forward to the coming weeks however i think our winning streak will probably end @ Florist a week on Saturday.

Yep, I'm not looking forward to that one. Billy knows how to set up against us and hit us on the break

Lets look forward to it, its a game between 2 teams on song, both chasing promotion and a "not a proper" Derby

I hope its Tuesday though so we get an extra few days off

Philbert - you're not alone in thinking our run will come to an end at Forest, I just hope we don't lose but our recent record there makes me think we can get a point. Ten would do me anyway, I'm not greedy 👍

As Strett says, "chill". You've done the ard work now sit back and enjoy it. It's just a matter of who comes second now.

Incidentally I thought I’d have a quick look at our points tally at this stage the last two times we achieved promotion to the Premier League and from League 1.

In that season in League 1 we’d achieved 67 points from 29 games. That’s 1 point more than we have presently. However, we were just about to embark on a run where we got 11 points from the next 8 games and 16 points from the next 12. We ended up on 96 points.

The last time we went up to the Premier League we had 58 points from 29 games. That’s 8 points worse off than we are now. We did, however, rally quite strongly from here and went on a 14 game unbeaten run, winning 9. We got promoted with 92 points.

Proves nothing of course, but I’m just trying to give myself some mathematical reassurance.

And who did when finish runners up to that season? - Portsmouth, managed by Del-Boy Redknapp.

Be nice to have him finish runners up to us this time.

I’d actually thought about that before Fox_14 as there are certain parallels with this season. At that time Portsmouth had been bought by Milan Mandaric and, with significant investment, Harry was doing his usual thing of throwing money around like confetti. I think, from memory, they signed Paul Merson up on a generous contract. We, by comparison, had recently gone into administration and were under a transfer ban.

This season Harry has his parachute money and has just signed about 4 strikers. We have had to tighten our purse strings and largely look for players that won’t attract a transfer fee. Like that season we’ve had to manage with a strong, but relatively small squad and hope that we’re not too unlucky with injuries and suspensions.

I would be happy with the same outcome at the end.

The fat lady's been booked in, but there's still the chance she could get laryngitis between now and May...
