14 points is unrealistic, i'd say we'd be as good as promoted if we manage that amount of points with the home fixtures that remain.
Somebody is going to turn us over in that lot, i'd say Leeds. Derby at home has draw written all over it. Just those two results alone would put us below your total, and that's with assumed wins at home to Reading and Newcastle...
I predicted 9 points from those fixtures, i'm hoping we can do a little better to ease the pressure off the April run-in.

The way Huddersfield are going i don't think 90 will be enough for automatic this season, suspect it will be 93 ish. Would be incredible if we get 90+ and miss out on auto again !!

Followed by a trip to Hillsborough, as massive seem to be locking down 6th spot again.

What makes you think Newcastle will get enough points ? Could be us and Huddersfield

I didn't say we would get 14 points, I said it would do very nicely. 9 points would leave us clinging on to 2nd.

It would, but they are a tough set of fixtures and we need to remain realistic.
Don't forget we have FOUR very winnable home games in April. If people are predicting c92-93 points will be enough then it is not the end of the world if we take 9 from the above (77 total) because we could easily take 14-16 in April/May.
Honestly, if we don't take an automatic with 91-93pts then we may aswell give up.

Hope you are right but i just can't see them dropping that many points, once they get their next 3 away games out of the way they have a fairly kind run in...... If they lose the next 3 away games or only pick up 1 point then i might change my opinion.

True. In that sense we only need 8 more wins.
I'm targeting 100 points though...surely that would see us sneak up?!

What worries me a tad is that these MONSTER home games we have coming up really are not our speciality. Some MAJOR and DAMAGING Amex disappointments, just off the top of my head:
Palace Playoff 2nd leg 0-2
Derby Playoff 1st leg 1-2
Burnley 2-2
Derby 1-1
Sheff Weds Playoff 2nd leg 1-1
I'd like to remember a maHOOsive must-win game at the sharp end of the season we've had at the Amex where we've actually come out on top, but frankly, I'm struggling. Maybe the final home game of 2013/14, the 2-0 v Yeovil which kept our Playoff chances alive for the final day at Forest ? But that was largely expected, as Yeovil were doomed.
We're going to need to step up and buck the trend this year...

True, unfortunately we do seem to choke on the big must win end of season games at the Amex. Sheff Weds apart we seem to set up very cautious for these games when we should be going for the jugular. Really hope we don't concede possession to Reading and sit deep on Saturday.
Big games on SKY don't go that well either...

This has just depressed me
Hugh ton has been s but more jugular orientated this season though!
Beat Sheff Weds at Hillsborough
Beat Barnsley at Oakwell
It's a year for bucking trends...

I'm not pressing the panic button yet as far as Huddersfield are concerned.. They are on a truly great run of results.. if they were to continue it then they will probably win the title and will deserve to! BUT... those kind of runs just don't last forever in the Championship. Just cannot see how they can sustain that level of performance that coincides with us or Newcastle stuttering so badly.. They have lost 8 times already this season, which makes their current run all the more remarkable, and in my book, all the more likely to end.. wishful thinking maybe, but just how I feel

Column 1 Teams we always do well against. Teams to play this season 4 from 5.
Column 2 Teams we always do badly against. Teams to play 0 from 5
Wins needed 7 plus a few draws for promotion - relevance very low, we are going up as champions!

Only 1 team in the RH column in our division this year, so not really surprising we don't have to play any of them

Seem to remember that was a nervy affair too and they hung on for 80 odd minutes.
