Could be enough.Sunderland would have to get a minimum of 4 wins and a draw out of 9 and Portsmouth would need 4 wins and 2 draws out of 7.The game between them at Sunderland could end both there hopes.
What concerns me is Sunderland have lost two games this season. That's absolutely insane. Hopefully they'll draw more than they win.
They have drawn almost half of their games I think be plenty of twists and turns still to come no doubt
You don't know that, its just wishful think... and that's all you've got. What we know for certain is that every point we drop, the door is kicked open a little bit wider for both Sunderland and Pompey.
Obviously 3 points is better than one but Sunderland have still to get 3 results from there games in hand to overtake us and Portsmouth will still be 2 points behind us if they win there game in hand.Thats not wishful thinking that's fact.
I think we will need 90 to have a good chance 92 will definitely do it. Win at Burton (tricky but I think we will do it and we are back on track
Assassinations? Hardly. Hedges isn’t good enough. Not everyone agrees. I’m still of that opinion. Williams is a young lad learning his trade but clearly isn’t ready to play, at least not at left back, in this team. I’ve no argument with their effort and will support them if they are selected - but I don’t think they should be. I’m hardly killing them. I think we need 91 or 92 points to be honest. I can’t see 86 doing the job. Sunderland aren’t going to lose many if any - they just don’t get beat at this level. Can’t see them losing more than one, if that, just hoping for a few draws on tired legs. We should get more than 86 in any case. But today could have ramped the pressure on them right up.
No way will 86 be enough. Sunderland have lost 2 in 37. To expect them to lose 4 of last 9 is stretching it a bit....
If Sunderland win all of their games they get to 100 points. I think best we can hope for is for them to draw 3 games. So we really need 5 wins
I said we would need six wins before the Walsall game so now it's five and I still think five will be enough.
I am more worried about Portsmouth than Sunderland.They seem to be getting their act together now and I think they will beat Sunderland today.
