If we won on Saturday and then for the rest of the season we did no worse than our form last season in the last 28 games, then we'd still have enough points near enough to make the play-offs 2 seasons out of the last 5.
Coincidentally i (think) the last time any Hughton club had a 17 game (in one season) unbeaten run was the promoted Newcastle in 2009/10.
That was the last 17 games of the season mind.
