I think we'd have to be very dissapointed to only lose one more game all season and not get in the playoffs, those points should easily be enough!?
All our remaining games look winnable. It would be very dissapointing not to make the playoffs with our run in and current position.

8 - 12 Points should just about do it to scrape 6th.
(H) Leicester 3
(A) Middlesbrough 1
(A) Peterborough 1 / 3
(H) Blackpool 1
(A) Leeds 0
(H) Wolves 3
= 9 / 11

If we win tomorrow we are going to have to blow it big time not to make the play-offs. It helps that Leicester play Bolton and Forest as well.

Let's consider the squeaky bum option.
We draw against Leicester, but they have a difficult run in and could easily only manage to get 67 points in total. Bolton are on target to get somewhere between 66 and 69 by the end of the season. Middlesbrough, Derby, Millwall and Leeds have blown their chances already.
70 points will be enough to get into sixth position.
The Albion can do this:-
Leicester (H) - a draw; [taking us to 62 points]
Middlesbrough (A) - we lose; [still on 62 points]
Peterborough (A) - we win; [65 points]
Blackpool (H) - we draw; [66 points, and panicking]
Leeds (A) - we draw; [67 points, still panicking, big time]
Wolves (H) - we need to win but only if Bolton beat Blackpool and Leicester fail to beat Forest; we scrape a last minute winner. [70 points]
Made it!
Even squeakier would be for the last day to see Blackpool beating Bolton, Forest beating Leicester and us drawing against Wolves - 68 points, and into the playoffs without winning a home game for the rest of the season.

Still good enough as no other team seems to be able to string some meaningful results together

My thoughts - 12, but 9 will get 6th, assuming we can beat Leics tomorrow. Got Watford on 80 now as changed Blackburn to a win
cannot be right as the bolton v leicester fixture see's bolton get nothing and Leicester get 1. Where have those other points gone? If is is right then we get Croydon in the semi's.
Bollox ... thanks for pointing out, so Bolton to get 70. Will update it after tomorrow, when everything will change anyway, apart from our 3 points! Would prefer Croydon in the semis than Watford. Thought we might have been able to sneak 3rd and up against Forest but Watford went and did the business at Hull

More worried about Bolton that Leicester, also think we're more likely to get 3 points against Borough than Leicester.
