apart from Crewe, Swindon and Preston if we replicate the results in our remaining 9 games we will accrue 12 points- and finish on 92 points..... Probably not enough to guarantee 1st- but likely 2nd. So in last 9 matches we need to up our performance
A win tonight would be massive. .we need 16 points to equal the same points ( 48 )as the first 23 games we played, we are 4 behind "this time in the first half of the season" So far taken 3 or more points from all teams but 6 of our last 9 are able to stop us getting a full house!
