promotion day sign

Think it will be a draw at Northampton. Promotion confirmed at Vale possibly with another draw. Fleetwood 13 points behind with 15 to play for, but 14 worse GD. They can't afford to drop a point. Think Millwall might end their chances if we haven't already by that match.

millwall couldnt stop us before last night

Fleetwood won't really give a shit about their GD, they will see 2nd place as their only realistic promotion target

I have a feeling we'll win at Northampton and be partying Saturday night. Call me selfish but I don't want the title to be confirmed before MK, my next game - but it could well be confirmed at home to Bradford.

Fleetwood could easily draw at Oldham, in which case we'd be up with a draw.

We may well have enough already but it still has to play out.

Fleetwood could easily win and a draw for us on Sat means we will still need 1 more point.

 

[JohnDenver]

Selfishly I want Bolton to lose but fleetwood to win because I can't make the beamback.

It's insane how pessimistic us Blades are. We're already up.

It's insane how pessimistic us Blades are. We're already up.

Common sense would agree with you but it is still not mathematically certain. On that basis we have no 'P' next to our name and we keep on going until we do.

It's not about 'pessimism', as even the dour old farts like me who have lived through previous cockup-fests, actually believe we are up. We are just keeping our powder dry until it is a fact.

I agree, we need 3 points from 15 assuming Fleetwood get the maximum. Last night made it all but a formality if it weren't already. Thing is, you can't properly celebrate until it's official.

For the title to be confirmed against Bradford, we need to better Bolton's results over the next two matches. We need to be at least 7 points ahead going into the Bradford game. Bolton play Bury the next day.

Northampton V Blades
Scunny V Bolton

Port Vale V Blades (Fri)
Oldham V Bolton (Sat)

Blades V Bradford (Mon)
Bolton V Bury (Tue)

I can't see Bolton winnings both of theirs, so if we win the next two then it's into Bradford knowing a win will see us clinch the title. Not a bad position to be in right now, although if obviously far rather be in Boltons

 

[Torrix1889]

Northampton V Blades 0-2 88pts (p)
Scunny V Bolton 1-1 80pts

Port Vale V Blades (Fri) 0-1 91pts
Oldham V Bolton (Sat) 1-3 83pts

Blades V Bradford (Mon) 1-1 92pts
Bolton V Bury (Tue) 3-0 86pts

After that a point at MK or home v Chesterfield or anything other than 2 wins for Bolton and the (p) becomes (c)

If the six point gap remains by then, a draw at MK away will clinch the title
