89 again would have been more than enough

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Who would have thought after all the panic a few weeks ago!

In fact a draw in one of the last three games for the Chokers and 85 would have done it.

People were talking stupid numbers on here , 90 points was always going to be enough

It is funny how so many posters thought all 3 clubs would only drop a couple of points out of about the 90, or so, available.

Maybe it's because they could no longer catch up they decided to play like we did against Norwich!

Maybe it's because they could no longer catch up they decided to play like we did against Norwich!

and maybe avoiding the dreaded 3rd slot..

85 Pts would have been enough then, so we won the League away at QPR, thought that at the time to be honest

I was saying after the QPR game when we reached 86 points that we were already promoted but we just didn't know it yet

indeed,some posters were confusing Huddersfield with Real Madrid

Reading will finish 3rd on 85. We'd have smashed them on goal difference so that is this year's finish line for automatic promotion. Newcastle are already promoted (but don't know it yet).

For me it was psychological saying we needed 90+ points at the time, I'm not used to these dizzy heights with Brighton and most of my sporting life I've learnt it's not over till it's over. It's made the celebration all the sweeter and now relaxing.

Yep I said 85 would do it and maybe 83 now
