Farke seems to think if we can win our last 5 (all eminently winnable) home games we'll go up. I'm not so sure it's that simple. That would take us to 91 pts (and presumably still a very strong GD.) I think our 90 pts last year was a record for a 3rd place team (or am I imagining that?) It would be just our luck to beat that record this year!
Obviously, you've got to think we'll pick up at least a few pts from the last 5 (also winnable) away games. But equally, now that we're into squeaky bum time, there has to be a huge asterisk next to that description of our home games as "winnable".............remember S/land & B/burn last year! Last w/e was disastrous, with not only all our rivals all winning while we lost, but also my two hate teams (Derby & Cov) also winning. Hopefully, that combination won't happen too many more times! Bumley & SheffU still have to play each other, so that helps. And I will suspend my loathing of Fat Frank if Cov can get something out of their upcoming away trips to Bum & SU. Let's hope West bloody Brom prove to be just as tough to play tonight v Bumley (Luton were an absolute disgrace against them last w/e..........some clown got 2 yellows in the first 20 mins then they scored an og..........let's also hope they are as crap against us!)..............and we can start off our Big 5 home games with 3 pts tomorrow!
