Huddersfield are due a blip, they will lose at least 2 more games ! I think we will lose 2 more as well ! It's going to be close !! But I think the gods are with us, 20 years ago last game of the season was Hereford, we needed a result to stay in the league. Fast forward 20 years, we need a result to reach the Prem !! It's our year !!

.... and go 20 years further back and we got promoted finishing second with 86 points - might need a few more this time!

If you put your money on Newcastle coming 3rd I think you are chucking it away. Rafa won't let them muck this up - 7 points from that last run would test many a top 6 PL side
Naylor and Ernest and WA Folly:
Up to 45 games
Newcastle H 3-1-1 A 2-2-0 +18 pts =95 minimum

Brighton (beating Derby) H 5-1-0 A 2-0-2 +22 pts =96 max
http://www.statto.com/football/teams/brighton-and-hove-albion
Huddersfield H 3-1-0 A 4-1-1 +23 pts = 91

I make that 96 points for us.......
So do I. I feel better already!
90 pts will not be good enough.
Leeds H 5-1-0 A 3-1-1 (max) +26 = 91

I think Newcastle will drop more points than Huddersfield
They only have 4 more away games
So 6 home games, they have the worst home record of the top six
Their fans should be their 12th man and if the referee is weak maybe that will be enough.
But the fans are also their achilles heel, can the players perform under that pressure….they haven’t so far

My W10 D4 L6 with 20 left now stands at exactly half that. W5 D2 L3. Another 10 like that gets us 91pts and hopefully through the finish line.

It's just about us. I'm sure 92 points has been the target all year. We are just about ahead of that at the moment. Our next two are probably the toughest of our run in. 2 points and we are still on track for 92.
If Huddersfield better that, then fair play to them.

Footballers love that kind of schedule. Less training and optimum match fitness and focus. They are our biggest concern now and like I said a couple of months ago: any team that finishes ahead of Udders will likely be promoted.

What on earth does that mean?
There really is some utter BALLS talked about with run ins. I keep hearing ´It doesnñt matter what Huddesfield or Leeds do´, of course it does FFS. Now we are hearing that points are irrelevant, wow.

Looks like we're already in the play offs mind.

If we were in the playoffs, it's highly unlikely we'd face Newcastle or Huddersfield. We're considerably better than Leeds, Reading & Massive so the playoffs offer a reasonable safety blanket.

I know, it's laughable!
"Points are irrelevant, we just need more points than Huddersfield" - WTF
!!!!Why bother posting if you're gonna contradict yourself in the space of just 1 sentence?

strong and stable with me, or...
2 ppg will get H'Field to 90 points, and they have been going along at 2.27ppg in 2017.
6 of their last 11 games are away, but only 2 of those away games are against sides in the top half of the table. 4 of their last 5 home games are against sides in the top half.
They have played 11 league games in 2017, W8 D1 L2. Anyone thinking they are not going to get 90 is delusional, clinging on to past statistics. Forget the past, this is now, they're in great form, even a dip will see them through to 90.
The reality is, the second placed side this season IS going to likely go up with the record number of points needed for automatic promotion.
