17 left to play and I reckon 8 more wins needed to win and we have ....
Burton
Blues
Hull
Reading
QPR
Sheff W
At home
And Bolton and Sunderland away out of the bottom 10 teams!!!!!
It would be nice to lift the trophy at home vs Blues mind.....
8 more....................

Don’t think the games against teams fighting to avoid relegation would be the easiest of games as the season moves on. Games against teams like Ipswich who won’t go up or go down become the easier ones. Important thing is that we just keep the average above 2 points a game. No other club in the division will match that and if we can have a good February then we will be close to the finishing line before coming under any pressure to get over the line in the final weeks of the season

A couple of high-scoring wins wouldn't go amiss. Yes, a 1-0 is still 3 points, but an occasional comprehensive thrashing brings its own pleasure.

12 goals in 12 matches is disappointing and few of those goals have been scored by forwards but the points keep coming.

At least if we go up with this squad, it's a clean slate squad and wages wise...................lots of room for lots of money to be spent
8 more wins for me and wim up.........................

Being ultra cautious this is my suggestion:
Sheff U A draw
QPR H win
Preston A draw
Norwich H win
Fulham A loss
Reading H win
Leeds A loss
Villa A loss
Burton H win
'Boro A draw
Hull H win
Cardiff A draw
Derby H draw
Blues H win
Bolton A win
Wednesday H win
S'land A draw
30 more points giving us 95 points, more than enough.
In reality I would expect us to exceed that total.

Sorry to mess with your estimate Wulfrun but the Sheffield United game is at home, we will win that so the total is 97

You're right Gem, so my cautious estimate is 32 points giving us 97 as you say.

Six wins and a couple of draws will likely be enough giving us 85 points, I don't see two of the pack getting that many points.
Seven wins and a couple of draws will be a guarantee.

I'm still taking it one game at a time...
However, the saving grace is that the weather and the pitches will get better, which in my opinion will benefit our foreign contingent.
