It's not about that. As another thread has stated in the last 10 games Newcastle have a slightly better record than us. Huddersfield have significantly better form than us, enough to overtake us if they replicate that form for the rest of the season.
The worrying thing is that Huddersfield have a pretty easy run in, their hardest remaining away game is derby! We have to play Leeds, Norwich and villa away which is pretty daunting bearing in mind how abject we have been away recently.
It's almost undeniable that if things continue as they have already this calendar year, Huddersfield and Newcastle will get auto with a strong possibility that Huddersfield will win the title.
In saying that, there is still a lonnnnnng way to go.
The Leeds game is our toughest remaining for sure, but I'd be surprised if Villa arn't mentally by their summer swimming pools trying to avoid injuries spoiling their beach time. Hopefully Norwich are also demob happy as well by the time we play them.

How can you say that as Huddersfield have to get 4 points more than us even if they win their game in hand on 25th April?
Huddersfield have a 2.5 point average in the last 10 matches. Crazy form, with a deep squad that was able to rest brown and mooy yesterday.
We have a 3 point average in our last two games Newcastle have 0.5 point average in their last two........

Facts are they HAVE to rely on us dropping points we do not with them as it is in our own hands but not in their case. They could win every game and still miss out.
Yep and now that derby have sacked McLaren ; hudds 3 games vs Preston, derby and Fulham in a row over Easter all of a sudden look very tough

Norwich players may well be playing for their futures under a new manager. I suspect it will be a very difficult game.

Was thinking wolves and QPR will be bloody tough as well

A different kind of pasty
Speculation is pointless. As it stands right now, the answer to the question is 24 more.

Last season
Albion 6-3-0 = 21 98
Middlesbro 5-4-0 = 19 (if Newcastle match them =96)
Burnley 6-4-0 = 22 (if Huddersfield match them = 93)
I couldn't rule out a 7-3-0 for Huddersfield giving them 95 pts

How many NSC threads about how many points we need for automatic promotion will there be in the 2016/17 season?
Too bloody many. Almost ALL of them pointless.
Too bloody many. Almost ALL of them pointless.
At the start of the season would have said 90 was enough but have revised to 93. Huddersfield have been on an superb run with 25 points in the last 10. I just don't see them matching that over the next 10 when the pressure mounts. They have Norwich early into a possible new manager bounce, Derby with new manager and Fulham and Preston, all difficult games. Hence my 93. I wouldn't discount Newcastle from losing a few when the pressure hits, the expectation on them is massive.
My comfort is that even if Huddersfield match their last 10 games during the run in it still leaves some wriggle room for us of a couple of defeats assuming we maintain the GD advantage.
