Its February and we need just 17 more points to be promoted, amazing stuff tbf

Hope my maths is right

Should add thats only if any team from 3rd down win every game

Yesterdays results confirmed Burnley cannot be relegated..there are six clubs now who cannot get 76 points

We now have more points than Sheff U managed last year, when they finished 5th

Sheffield United next 5 games:-

Blackburn away
Reading away
Luton home
Sunderland away
West Brom home

I cannot see anything but champions to be honest.

I think we'll be promoted before the Easter double header against Boro and Sheff Utd, at worst needing a draw at Boro. We will win our next 4, (Rovers to be re-arranged)

i think we need just 2 more wins to be sure of automatic promotion. that puts us on 82 points. Middlesboro would then need 25 points from the remaining 36 which is just above 2 points per game. Not going to happen

Certainly looking possible for promotion at Ewood, looking at the Blade’s fixtures.

This is probably a long shot looking at boro's games,
Reading, Stoke and Preston at home.
Swansea away.

Boro can get a maximum of 93 points, so we need 94. We are currently on 76 and so need 18 more points to be sure.

Our superior goal difference says different.

That would disappear in the unlikely event they caught us

Doubt we'll need 6 more wins, Boro's defeat yesterday all but assured our promotion if it wasn't already assured.

4 will probably be ample, though I expect us to win more than 4.

Keep seeing talk of Rovers being rearranged? Can I ask why and why it'd be decided so late?

One or both of Burnley/Rovers could be in the FA Cup quarter-final that weekend.

Thought it might be something like this, wasn't sure when the next round was. Thanks.

Well it is a rarity for us to still be involved in the cup at this stage.

Glad to see we’re now mathematically safe from relegation as well as promoted.
