I reckon 77-80 points should secure it which means around 30 points from our remaining fixtures. Our last 12 games since the Crawley debacle has seen 25 from 12.
If you look at the Championship, 6th place is currently 45 points but they have played a couple more games. This suggests that you may need more points in League One but I think the lower teams are finding their feet a bit which may bring the points needed down. I still have 75 points in my head but of course it could be a couple of points more or less. I would like to see us get to 75 points and see where we are from there.
I reckon we'll end up with 74 or 75. Barnsley away will be the game that did it for us Barnsley again. Like they did in the Championship when an injury time goal against Forest gave them the point that kept them above us.......as well as the injury time winner in their last game away to Brentford.

As I said on the other Play Off thread before the Shrewsbury game, our destiny will be decided by how many home games we can win. It's been 3/3 since then and if we can now win 6/8 and draw the other two then that will take us to 67 points. Should we then take a point a game from our remaining nine away matches then that would take us to 76 points though I would expect us to pick up more than that - we've taken 18 from 14 so far this season.
Ultimately, goal difference might be worth another point to us because only Orient from outside the top six has a better one than us with the rest being 8-10 goals worse off than us.

…more than the team in 7th
