A bit drastic, but I understandI just want the season to end as quickly as possible.
From where we are now failure to get promotion would make me kill.

Mahrez for Dyer. Wood for Nuge....just to keep us fresh. No change in the defence....
I understand your point, but I don't want this season to end at all.
We are playing some of our best football for years, scoring goals for fun, dismantling teams at our best, even beating teams when we are playing average and I can't remember a time in the last 10 years where I have consistently enjoyed going to the games as much as I do right now.
It will end obviously, but I for one am sure going to enjoy the football we are seeing now while it's here!
At the same time it's good to see NP not giving players a hiding place, the starting 11 playing on merit... though now is the time to freshen things up.
A point on Saturday and we're safe from relegation
We have 71 points.
Yeovil and Millwall will definitely finish below us. They can get a maximum of 70 points. So there's only one other team that needs to finish below us.
Barnsley can get a maximum of 71 points.
Doncaster can get 72.
Bolton can get 75.
But Bolton have still got to play Barnsley and Doncaster. To get to 71 points they can only drop 4 points, which means they need to win one, or draw both of those games. If they win one of those two games, the team they beat can't finish above us. If they draw both, Barnsley and Doncaster will both definitely finish below us.
So we are definitely mathematically safe. Let the celebrations start.
