21 points would guarantee promotion

[MrSnuggles]

If Huddersfield, who remain our closest challengers for automatic promotion, were to win their remaining nine games they would accumulate 27 points putting them on 98 points. (currently on 71). For the Albion to reach the same total, we require 21 points (currently 77). As our goal difference is vastly superior if they finished on the same total, the goal difference would see us promoted! Any points Huddersfield drop would mean the total points needed would drop by the equivalent points dropped, ie if Huddersfield draw the target point reduces by 2. 3 points to the Albion today would be most welcome!

It's elementary Dr Watson!

3 points today and look at our remaining fixtures and you'd suggest its pretty well game over. (Is there a fingers crossed emoji?)

I don't think anyone has ever missed out on automatic promotion if they have reached 92 points (an average of 2 per game) if we get to 92 first and then review how things stand I'm sure we will feel much better.

I'm certain CH will have a massive chart in his office that states where we anticipate picking up the 92 points from. I doubt Leeds away is somewhere we'd expect 3 points but maybe sneak 1. As long as we don't lose than we've had a better weekend than Huddersfield and that has got to be positive. If we do grab a win than the pressure is all on the chasing pack

So how many do we need to win

Funnily enough I'm fairly certain that he doesn't. He has always said that he plays it low key, takes each game as it comes, tries to win it, then moves on to the next one. Then sees where we are placed come the end of the season.

No charts for Chris Hughton, massive or otherwise.

But if we win 7 games 1- 0 and lost the other 2 5-0 our goal difference would reduce by 3. Huddersfield win their last 9 games by 4-0 they go up.
So to be certain we need 22 points.

Glad this thread exist I just couldn't work this out!!!

Yeah can see that happening.

Yup. Only way to approach this thing is heads down, focus on the next game and get points on the board. The rest will take care of itself.

If we score more goals than Leeds today...we win

Depends which net

And surely this needs a separate thread

No, no I definitely wouldn't.

and I'm equally certain that he doesn't.
