I stayed out of the 'points in the bag' debate. But let's be honest here.
Nobody a few weeks ago truly believed or foresaw that we'd take 16 points out of the next 18, especially after we'd been beaten by Burton, MKD and Ipswich and grabbed a draw from the jaws of victory v Donny. Whilst at the same time, Peterborough would only take 4 from 15, and Lincoln & Donny 5 from 15. Remembering that all this was whilst we were all still playing 2 a week (teams don't play 3 a week over a period btw), meaning these results were nothing to do with us benefitting from them having to play catch up.
So, at the time, looked at rationally, those other sides were in a better position. But there's been a massive twist happen over the past 5 or 6 games that nobody on here honestly saw coming. Thankfully it has happened though, and we now find ourselves in a great place. At this moment in time, it's totally now back in our own hands.
As Steve Bruce often said, they'll be plenty of twists & turns, as has happened .... and there could well be a few more yet to come. Hopefully only positive ones continue.

you seem to be trying to argue something i haven't said or thought. i haven't mentioned them as challengers to us. all i said about your first comment about four consecutive home draws not being ideal was "that is a fact".

i'm not "downing" city and i'm not worrying about a team 13 points behind us. or anyone else.

I misinterpreted what you were getting at which is easily done on here.
Apologies for that..
I'm glad you're in the positive camp because there are a lot in the "worry wort camp".
Enjoy your day pal.

At Christmas we looked to have an outside chance of making the playoffs. We have really picked up and caught everybody with this run we are on.

I do think it will be Sunderland and Hull that go up automatically, I have a feeling the momentum we have now will carry on and we'll go up as champions. Not bothered though, as long as we go up I'll be happy.

It's bizarre really, because quite a few on here had low expectations at the start of the season, but will still grumble if we only go up in second or via the play offs.

My only real disappointment this season is not being able to visit some cracking days out. There's not many in the championship that take my eye, and pretty much none in the Prem.

I agree with that. I miss my away days and I had a few grounds to tick off this season which I'll miss doing, hopefully.

The most attractive day out, a weekend wouldn't be enough to take in all its delights, in the Championship this season will not be available next season as that team will be promoted as Champions.

How much do you want to wager on who will be Champions, Norwich or Watford? Or anyone else for that matter?

I always add a multiplier to a bet, based on the interest I have in the outcome, so I'll take your challenge, and bet you £10, with a multiplier of 0 (zero) for the interest I have. <ok>

I've loved this season, especially as an exile down south being able to watch every game. I even enjoyed watching the B-team in the Papa John's. At times, we've played some delightful football. If (tempting fate) we did go up as champions, it would be nice if the Allams could swallow their pride and push for an open-top bus parade in Hull once lockdown is over -- and perhaps invite some of those from previous promotion seasons who missed out because of the spat with the council -- plus those still living from the 65/66 team. (I've put the mockers on it all now).

Not really. Nobody honestly saw such a turnaround as the last 5/6 games have brought. If they say they did then they are kidding themselves!
