42 points from the second half of the season, a lot of tough away games coming up,plus home games against Leicester,Cardiff and Reading could see more points dropped than first half of the season,but hopefully not enough to stop us being in top 2.
the second half of the season is bound to be more difficult as we've lost the surprise factor that we had at the start of the season and we have some very difficult away matches. Birmingham and West Ham away in Feb. That could be the pivotal month. If we win the home games in Feb against Derby and Burnley (which we should do on current home form). There is also Watford away which is very winnable. 10 points in that month and we will be in a very good position (providing we have a good Jan).
I have predicted results until end of season and came up with 94 points lol, should be good enough!!!
If we're in the top two at the end of February, I think that we go up. Our schedule beyond that is no cakewalk, but Boro has it even harder.
But getting to that point is going to be very difficult; beginning in late January, Boro has a lengthy tour of the bottom half of the table with a couple tough games interspersed. Our home games in Jan/Feb (Leicester, Cardiff, Burnley and Derby) could go a long way to determining things; we'll need to take a lot of points from those affairs, or drastically improve our road form, if we want to stay clear.
I don't like to say it but I think it is becoming a 3 horse race for auto promotion us Middlesbrough and West ham, and I think we may miss out. i just can't see us replicating the same pace that we did in the first half of the season. but I am not an optimistic person so hope im wrong i think we will gain 80 points
Don't care as long as we get auto promotion. My guess would be that we need more than 85 points though.
I think the magic number for automatic promotion will be 85/88 points.
14 wins from the last 23 games would give us 89 points (42 points on top of current 47).
I think this is definitely a possibility as long as we can keep up the home form.

QPR won 14 home games last year, we have already won 11. And they won 10 away games, just proves how important are away form is going to be second half of the season. 4 wins is not good enough.
