"Assuming...." threads have become this season's 'points required' threads and every bit as tedious and pointless.
Can we just beat Forest, and then actually not give a toss about anything else except beating Rotherham, Derby, Leeds........

I think Brighton and Huddersfiled will finish in the top 2 and Newcastle in 3rd. Over their next 8 matches between now and 14th April Newcastle have to play Huddersfield (A), Reading (A), Fulham (H), Sheff Wed (A) and Leeds (H). I think it is very likely they will drop a lot more points than us and Huddersfield over that period.

Nothing as far as I can see. Maybe assume was the wrong word but that's all.
For me, I want a draw, IF we beat forest, I would be happy to be 8 clear of Huddersfield and level on points with Newcastle.

It seems to be the cool thing on here to take the fun out of speculating.
"One game at a time".
"Defeat nailed on".
And crap like that.
If you don't want to speculate on things then why bother to open a thread which is crystal f***ing clear in it's thread title that it's a speculative thread. Not exactly rocket science is it!
In reply to the original theme, I'd prefer the draw, not because it keeps us closer to Newcastle, but both teams drop 2 points and gives us extra 'safety' over both teams in the run-in.
However, if we don't win, then I'd want a Newcastle win. Auto is much more important than the title (stating the bleeding obvious I know).

At 5pm on Saturday we would be 1 point ahead of Newcastle and 9 ahead of Huddersfield (subject to their game in hand) so would your rather:
Have Newcastle thrash them and go back to the top thus keeping our points gap or
Have Huddersfield win so we stay top and would still be 6 points ahead of them or
Draw. The draw would be enough for Newcastle go back to the top on GD but still leave Huddersfield 8 adrift...
I prefer the long game and would rather Newcastle thrash the Hudds..Top is not as important as promotion
Come back at 4.45 pm on Saturday

I can't see anything else but a draw between Newcastle and Hudds, both teams with throw everything at it and if there is a victory it might be by another fluky goal.
Now the team are finally on the finishing straight, if they want promotion you have to assume they'll win games like Forest away.

Providing we win then best result would be a draw but doesn't really matter if Huddersfield win Newcastle will be under far more pressure as they are expected to romp the league

Exactly. Why do we do such lame things.
Even our songs. As soon as 'we're on our way' was played prior to kick off, we were sunk. Top of the league chants should be saved until the end, as well as 'we're fecking brilliant'.

Or we're just wildly overstating the importance of superstition for comic effect, e.g. whether someone should eat fish or chicken for dinner.

Maybe you did mean that Notters (and if so, then I apologise), but most of the other posts weren't that complimentary to the OP. There does seem to be a trend on here to ridicule people for speculating. I honestly think if we can't look at the what-ifs at this stage of the season and our position, then Christ, give up watching football and just look at the table at the end of 46 games.

How things can change.
Hudds win there two games in hand and they are level on points.
