Headline in the Mirror says we're the best team in League 1. Have I missed the promotion party?

It’s an early prediction

Reading forums of the other contenders it's clear they see Bolton as already promoted, and them fighting for the other two spots. Even Tranmere fans.

Until i see the table on the final day and we are up then i won't believe it. We've been let down too many times before.

Only Bolton fans expect us to fuck this up now. With good reason.

If they fuck this up now they want shooting.

I personally dont give a hoot how we get up, as long as we do. There are 4 places to pick from, anyone will do.

Win against Colchester on Saturday and we’re in the top 3.
After that it’ll be a matter of hanging on.

I have this horrible fear that we will lose in the playoffs to Tranmere.

Colchester is on Friday.
That’s a day less stressing about it.

Plus if we win we’ll be second for at least a couple of hours

Doesn’t bear thinking about. It’s my biggest fear but I think at least one of us will go up automatically.

Automatic looks like 80 points maybe less, so 2 points a game would get us over the line . Current form shows 2.69 points a game that will be hard to maintain. so a drop to 2 points a game on average would cover a slight dip in form.
 
If other teams continue to drop points then the total will keep reducing, the longer we keep winning the easier it gets IF we could beat Colchester and Newport then 11 points from 21 would be enough just 1.6 points a game. So this weekend should clear a few things up.

So 6 wins 3 losses 
Or 5 wins  2 draws 2 losses
or 4 wins 5 draws 

Any of the above gets you 80 points i can't see three other teams getting more than 80 points.

I have us winning the league with 81 points

Cheers

A point instead of the expected win but still enough to put us in an automatic promotion spot. Awesome stuff.
