I agree, that Wigan game last season still lurks dangerously in the back of my mind, I'm celebrating nothing till we're unable to be caught mathematically, that won't be for a few games yet.
This week will hopefully sort things - 6 points and I may have a shandy dependent on how the other games go
I still remember the last 7 games last season :blue::blue:
Luton at home and Blackburn away should be wins
Essentially I agree. Being more conservative, I would say 10 points needed for safe passage to the Premier League. 14 points will certainly promote us as Champs. A word about West Brom, our closest rivals at the moment. They haven't scored a goal in 4 consecutive League matches. Very strange.
Hopefully these three things will help us over the line this year:
1. We have a cushion so tomorrow's game, and then the Blackburn game, and then the Stoke game, and so on, isn't a 'must win' like all the last few games were last season when we were neck and neck with Sheff Utd
2. The players and MB hopefully learned a lot from last year's experience, which will help this year
3. The crowd isn't there - sounds weird but I think certainly for the Wigan meltdown last year a big contributory factor was the palpable panic emanating from the ER stands, which I think transferred to the players, so in some ways behind closed doors at ER this year might actually be a benefit - and win our 4 home games and we're almost certainly up whatever happens in the 3 away games
