10 more wins

[Isar]

8 and a couple of draws ?

Agree, 81 to 83 points would do it.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

8 more wins

 

[Gimli]

8 more wins

Let’s get them out of the way in the next 8 games

Eight…….

Bob Jackson
And then just near the end he would say two words
BRIAN DEANE and you knew we'd won

I'd forgotten - what great times.

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

My early Blades memories. The Green’un full of talk about “Blades promotion jitters”. Narrow unconvincing home wins to keep us up with Leeds and Newcastle. The fella on radio sheffield playing random brass band music to provoke a late goal.

Got it done in the

 

[Selly]

Unless we turn into Blackburn (incapable of drawing) then 8 more plus a few draws should do it.

If we can get those 8 in the next 8 games, that would be appreciated

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Think 85 points would do it myself so 9 and two draws...

 

[CoatesyBlade]

7 to go! UTB

 

[Kryten]

Six pointer coming up and a game in hand, Boro game could be a real slingshot to the Prem!

 

[Selly]

7 more gets us to 82 points. Throw in 3 draws and 6 losses gets us to 85

Boro would need 34 points, or 11 wins and a draw from their last 15.

Doable - but we can make it a lot harder for them on Weds...

yep, beat un mid week and i think its as good as slamming the automatic door shut in our face. while kicking us in the nuts

Let’s hope that’s the case…..

to be honest a draw would do the same, especially with our game in hand, Mboro need to win, very interesting game, looking forward to it two form teams.

No pressure....


Brown trousers night.

For boros automatic hopes it's a must must must win
A draw will do us

Think we will win as we are better than them especially at home and as today showed we dont let many in

The Blades win and Barca (sorry I mean Boro) are defeated!
6 to go!

 

[Selly]

6 more wins, and a couple of draws from our last 13 games (so 5 losses) puts us on 84.

To match that Boro would need to go (from their last 12)

W9 D0 L3 or
W9 D3 L1

Doable, but only just...

I'll be pretty amazed if Boro win 9, draw 3 and lose 1 of their last 12 games... 13 results from 12 games is impressive in any league.

Fair point, should be W8 D3 and L1

As we are playing early doors against Blackburn, we have a real opportunity to make a statement and force Boro to beat Reading.

Then we have our game in hand.

Positive results from both those games and we will be in a really good position

[Sneinton Blade 1952]

Just aim for 9 more wins Blades and we're up!

 

[CoatesyBlade]

I started this thread to try and stop people panicking every time we lose a game… it didn’t work!
5 more wins will be very close to the magical number. If we win 5 then Boro have to win 8 out of the last 11. It’s a tall ask.
It leaves us with 6 games wiggle room to boot!

 

[BLADES1988]

Four?

 

[Yellarbellyblade]

Four?

Five I think, Boro then have to get more than 2 pts per game which if they do it fair play to them

 

[Berkshire Blade]

7. Luton are absolutely in it also now 6 or 5 might do it but 7 is what we absolutely need

 

[Selly]

7. Luton are absolutely in it also now 6 or 5 might do it but 7 is what we absolutely need

Nope, we only need 22 more points to guarantee second place. 21 to guarantee finishing above Luton.

But that assumes Boro/Luton win all their games - which they wont.

Four more and 3 draws might do it, 5 plus a couple of draws almost certainly will.

That win tonight was key. Now let's go out and get to a cup semi final!!
