Without wanting to stir up a play offs push we are only 5 points off Blackpool if we win our game in hand. I'd be pretty sure Pearson won't have given up on securing a play off place as easily as the supporters seem to have done.
I think there's two ways of approaching the matter. As SJN suggests looking at the gap between us and Blackpool is not the only one. My best guess is that we would need at least 23 more points to have a realistic chance of finishing sixth on 75 points. That means we need 7 wins and two draws or 8 wins from the last 9 games. Sadly nothing in our season todate suggests we could suddenly embark on a streak of form that only Reading have managed this season.
