Well its certainly no need to over complicate things. Win every game and we are up. Really is that simple.

And the probability of us doing that is approximately 1/64.
Burnley don't need more point than us.
Oo yes, well played. Promotion it is.

I think you miss the point Bozza. Part of the debate is to logically question the certainty with which conjecture is likely to happen. Of course people can speculate - we spent hours in pubs in Brum yesterday doing just that - but presenting outcomes based on odds of thousands to 1 as if they are (very) likely to happen needs to be critiqued.

Burnley right now strike me as being in a similar place to where we were back in December.
Clinging on to a long unbeaten run by their fingernails, but no longer winning games by outplaying opponents, and drawing a lot more than they win. The defeat (s) always felt just around the corner by that stage (to me at least). Sean Dyche was very tetchy with the BBC Radio reporter last night who asked him about the fact they'd not won in three, and kept resorting back to the non-goal at the Amex on Saturday. Which of course wouldn't actually have guaranteed them a win in that game, any more than Barton being sent off would have guaranteed us one. He also kept on about how far behind they were until they started their unbeaten run, and what an achievement it was for them even to be up there (yeah, righto Sean, tell that to your frustrated fans last night). He's feeling the pressure as much as any of us are, no doubt.

Perhaps you mean he's feeling it more than the rest of us? If he's feeling the same, it's not really helping us.
They're remaining fixtures are fairly similar to ours, just a touch easier, and we've got to get 3 more points than them. It's a tall order.

The odds are not thousands to one though, are they, which is my point.
We're 5/4 to win at Forest (1 point from 15 and 1 win in their last 10). At home to Fulham and QPR we will be odds on, as we may well be at Charlton who could very well be relegated by then. It's probably a 16/1 (at the very best) shot of four straight wins.
I'll say that I've been one of those saying "don't be so hasty" when others have looked at fixtures of our rivals and said they'll win and nearly every week at least one of them hasn't. This division is ridiculously competitive and tough to call - we all know that.

[MENTION=27279]dazzer6666[/MENTION] and I were commenting specifically on a post that predicted the next 5 results for the top 3. The odds on all those being correct are many thousands to 1.

A look at how the top teams have handled the pressure :
Derby : Chairman in dressing room shouting the odds.
Middlesbrough : On off resignation of Karanka. Rumours of bad apples, fists thrown and chairs luzzed.
Hull : Bruce linked with and dreaming of an exit to Villa ?
Burnley : Barton's thuggery and Dyche losing it in successive interviews.
Albion : Total calm professionalism from Hughton, Bloom and the whole team and setup.

You would make a great manager
We'd probably still make the play-offs without any more points.
Not that that's what I'm hoping for, of course!

I think and hope Burnley will drop points against Brum and also either Leeds, who were awful against us , or PNE. Then beat Middlesbro and then ig is down to what we do entirely.

Easy there fella.
[MENTION=2422]Tony Meolas Loan Spell[/MENTION] has a job to sort out the railways first. Once he's done there, we can think about where else could benefit from his special talents.

Can you believe Southern turned me down for their customer feedback/focus group.
Agreed and maybe Bruce should jump quickly before Hull fall any further and even Villa don't want him anymore!

Hull are far from finished with regard to a top 2 spot in my opinion.
I would bloody snap your hands off for 9 points from next 4 games.

Today is the FIRST time I've even entertained myself with the idea of Automatic Promotion.
Up to this point I've still be treating it as "a good start"
