should be up now, 8 points (effectively 9) clear over wednesday. if MASSIVE were to get say 16 points from 18, then we need 8 points to seal promotion. 8 from 6 games, 5 very very winnable - should be up, but tougher to go up as champions cos united look decent
The Hudds v Sheff Weds match next Saturday will be interesting.
Actually think Hudds losing today at Carlisle will help Wednesday next weekend. Massive blow for any remaining hopes Hudds might have harboured about getting second. They don't do playoffs do they and I reckon they will have a big hangover next week. Hope that I'm wrong.

Well I think that as Hudds still has a game in hand over Weds, they'll see that game as their make or break game of the season, if they win and the game in hand, they're back level...
On the other hand, who cares, we'll be outta sight then!!!
I'm pretty confident now with just six games left we will go up comfortable. Still think we might have to get a result at home to Hartlepool to take the title though.
2 wins gets us 91- name me a team who haven't gone up on 91 points. But really want that title after the least few years we have had. Might need as much as 94 points for that!

Stu you are looking at it in the wrong way - If the second placed team (southampton) had got 91 - would they have finished third? Look at the tables going back as long as you like and see what the second placed team has needed to get. 91 will do it every time.
For anyone other than the top two, 91 would not have got auto last year though, I think it may be even higher this year, can see us and the two Sheff teams finishing on +90
Had Hudds got 91 last year, they would have still finished in the play-offs.
I want to get the Oldham game out of the way before my bum stops squeaking. I think this is a potential banana skin tbh. They lost 1 - 0 to a Notts Co side we know are decent to a very late goal and you can bet that little git Dickov will know exactly the way to play us is to clatter everything in sight. A win would be huge but I'd take a point right now.

That's to catch us.
All we have to do is to keep our noses in front.
And the running down of the fixture list will do the rest.
I desperately want that championship though after being 1st for 6 months. As greedy as it sounds, I would be disappointed to finish 2nd.
Yeah its much better thanks.

Charlton 103
Sheffield United 97
Sheffield Wednesday 95
Huddersfield 92

Or you could equally say ......if Southampton had only got 88 points last season, they still would have finished 2nd - and automatic promotion.
