If you want something to calm you down, look at the following:-
If we get 8 more points to claim 90 points for the season, QPR must claim 24 points out of a possible 27 points. Lose 1 game, it's game over.
If we get 3 more points to claim 85 points for the season, QPR must claim 16 points of a possible 24 points. Lose 3 out of 8, it's game over.
QPR are averaging 1.30 points per game in their last 10. They need 1.62 per game to catch us now on 82 pts. Over the course of the season, they have averaged 1.82 per game.
Alongside us, they have a hard run-in. Blackpool on Saturday may well put the gap down to 10 points. However, they face Bournemouth and Blackburn away which are two tricky games. Followed up with a Forest side who may have got a new manager in and be making a go of the playoffs by then. Then they play us. Watford at home two days later. Finally finish with Millwall and Barnsley who will need points bad.
There is an argument that playing QPR, Reading and Wigan when we do is better (Derby have gave up on auto's last night after their result). All three teams look like they will safely make the play-offs. Wigan are already rotating players in a bid to get their team ready for the Cup semi and the playoffs.
Teams at the bottom are tricky at this stage of the season. Chasing playoff teams are too. You wanna be playing Sheff Wednesday, Huddersfield, Bolton (and even Donny will be safe by May). Even my negative predictions have us at 94 points for the season. Burnley have about 4 toughie's left, Derby a couple, Wigan around five (and a exhausting April). Promotion is nearly there but the fight for the title is going to go on.
