"We don’t have to finish above both Ipswich and Leicester, just one of them will do."
Which is what I've been saying for weeks. We Need to be in first position otherwise we become the sole target. To get promoted tgey only have to achieve second place. First would be great but second still gets promoted. Our current second position with both our rival above and below having games in hand (yes I know games are not points) makes us a prime target for (at this moment Ipswich). I'm pleased we are where we are, but it is a dangerously precarious place to be.
