    24 optimistically and reasonably realistically. Hopefully enough. We could do with Sunders and Cov getting back into drawing too many mode.

    I'd say 6 wins and 5 draws giving us a total of 84 which will be plenty.

    Been saying for a while that I think 82/83 will be enough and if that's the case, crazy as it seems, if Ipswich lose this weekend it will mean that (on paper) they can no longer get an automatic place. Who would have thunk that just a month back when they were top?

    CAM, and if all that happens I bet the Ipswich board wished they had never extended Lambert's contract for so long!
    ipswich are too big a club for this League and should be in the Championship already.

    I don't suppose, if we go up and Ipswich fail, that they will come knocking for Warne's services? He wouldn't would he, irrespective of how much is monthly wage would increase? He's a Nawrich fan not a Tracterrr boy.

    Did you not listen to the podcast Warney did for the Norwich journalist? When asked if he would ever consider managing Ipswich he said, and I quote "I'd rather be seen wearing one of Brin's cardies than coaching Ipswich Town!"

    After reviewing the games I have a feeling that the final game will be a title decider if Cov don’t beat Sunderland on Sunday......on paper that is.

    I think it will be ours and Sunderland’s to lose.

    Feb
    29th - MK Dons (h) WIN

    March
    7th - Rochdale (a) WIN
    14th - Southend (h) WIN
    21st - Fleetwood (a) WIN
    29th - Gillingham (h) DRAW

    April
    4th - Wycombe (a) LOSE
    10th - Portsmouth (h) LOSE
    13th - Tranmere (a) WIN
    18th - Doncaster (h) DRAW
    25th - Bolton (a) WIN

    May
    3rd - Sunderland (h) DRAW

    21 points, a final total of 82. In any other season that probably wouldn't be enough to get you automatic, but this season it might be. Although not sure about it being enough to finish top. I'd be very surprised if any team passes 88 points.

    Its a crazy division this season. Ipswich were top a few weeks ago, now they're 9th - but still in with a shout of the automatic places 😳🤔
