Yes but the point is that our rivals are all playing each other at present but

then finish the season (as do we Boro aside) with games against teams who are at the bottom or who will have nothing to play for. some of our rivals form is therefore likely to improve after Easter and we cannot rely on them all dropping as many points as some have of late.

  - Most teams will drop some points. (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Mar 23, 12:58:48
  - winning 6 out of 7 games is a big ask (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 23, 12:42:07
    - and on current form, our rivals will win 3 or 4 games out of 7 (n/m) (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 23, 12:45:28
      - Yes but the point is that our rivals are all playing each other at present but (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 23, 13:20:07
      - If we get auto promotion its vastly likely we will be 2nd compared.. (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 23, 13:03:21
        
        I should add that the 5W 2D scenario would be vastly helped... (NCFC) - usacanary, Mar 23, 13:11:10

      - it seems any 'draw' or 'defeat' is a piss poor result (NCFC) - phrankin, Mar 23, 12:34:21
        
        I think we should be winning against Huddersfield yes. The Wigan and Huddersfield results (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 23, 12:40:57
        
        for me though there has been pressure on all recent games due to that awful run in easier (NCFC) - lovely old job, Mar 23, 12:45:13
        
        I agree. Doesn;t mean to say though that you can dress those results up as anything (NCFC) - Jim, Mar 23, 13:18:12
