Is very nearly the right answer. Because if Huddersfield are in third place, we'll only need the same number of points as them.

If huddersfield are in third place and we have the same no of points as them.......we can be in fourth place. You said Huddersfield.are third. If we have the same no of points as them, fourth is the best we can be......As for them to be third their goal difference must be better than ours.

No, if we have the same number of points as 3rd then we're probably 2nd.

Newcastle top 94,Leeds second 92, Huddersfield third 91, we also have 91. But you say Huddersfield are third so we are fourth on goal difference!!!

Huddersfield are not going to overtake our goal difference though.

Why can we not be on the same points as Huddersfield and in front of them, in 2nd?

What? If we're 2nd and they're 3rd, on the same number of points, how is 4th the best we can be?

That's not giving me comfort, they've won 8 of their last 11, including games against the rest of the top 6.[/QUOTE]
Which is why I would aim for 20 points from 10 games - they will have to get 27 from 11 - that's a big ask for anyone..just dropping 5 points..

Leeds have us and Reading + Toon away, they can only get 95 and will drop more than 3 pts from these games alone

Yes I did say CAN be fourth.......In my scenario(Newcastle first,Leeds second) the best we can be is fourth...But of course you are correct that we can have the same no of points as third and be second,But you made it out a cert!!! When it aint !!!

Me no understand your logic. Our goal difference is currently c20+ better than Hudds. If we end on the same points, we'll be a position higher than them. And now I am getting into predictions about the future: many things can happen (which is the scenario you're outlining in this post), but most can't.

Edit: it seems I've been beaten to it. Someone on here is not just a pedant, but a swift one too, with far too much time on his hands.

Jebus....

This points needed thing keeps going up & up....

My head is going to explode...

Win on Friday, I am sure Brentford will get something out of the game on Saturday against Huddersfield, however they have the easiest run in on paper and are the threat I honestly would put them down for 25 points from now until the end of the season which would give them 93, for us to get that we would be able to lose 3 games and draw 2 out of 10 games, when you think of it like that we should be ok.

I think Leeds are not so much of a threat as they have got Newcastle, Reading and Brentford away all potentially tricky games they will not come away with 9 points from them games.

It is all about us maintaining win, draw, lose now and

But that only gives us 17 points meaning a total of 91 points.

You said "fourth is the best we can be", which is just silly. We could be fourth, but the best we can be (if on the same points as 3rd) is 1st.

No I didn't make it out that it's a cert, I simply said "If you offered me the same number of points as the team in 3rd, I'd take it." Obviously I wasn't saying that I'd take guaranteed promotion, that goes without saying. I just think the same number of points as 3rd would do.

If and perhaps a big If , we can beat Leeds next week they`re out of the race for top two spot even if they win they`ve still a lot to make up.

It`s tight now ...... Hard to call but we have at least three points and goal diff over Hudds......Bring on next weekend !!!!
