    We'll probably win all the home games and not get much from the away ones.

    Win at home and draw away... Mostly that's what we're doing... A couple of away wins thrown in the mix and we can do it.. I'm aboard the playoff express.. Choose choo!! ;)

    We're currently 12 points behind the "team" that will finish 7th. It's going to be very tight to make the playoffs but I rate our chances better than that 7th place to be rabel.

    If we use the season's form for all the other teams, then Forest and wigan will get 76 points.
    We need 77 - which means 32 from 13 games = 10 wins & 2 draws. how likely is that ?

    If we use recent form (last 10 games), wigan will get 82, forest will get 75.8 = 76.
    Reading & brighton will get less than 76 so we still need 77.

    So, unless 2 out of wigan,forest & QPR implode (derby are probably ok, only needing 4 wins every 10 games + a draw), and none of Brighton, reading,blackburn (& comically, leeds) do as well as us, we can forget the playoffs this year.
    Irony is, I bought my 1st season ticket ever this year - living in Cheshire does present a few difficulties - on the strength of zola's playing style.
    Still, at least we are out of Bazooka's clutches.

    We do have the chance to wreck the season for a few clubs - push Millwall and Charlton closer to the trapdoor and screw Wigan and Derby's play off pushes. That will do for me along with a win on Easter Monday.

    Dan, as we play Charlton in the penultimate game, it might already be too late for them.
