Wednesday losing
Wow!!! And 2-0!!!!!
If it stays the same (which it prob won't), town would only need TWO MORE points from the last 3 games to realistically get automatics.
I haven't looked at points needing. What is it they say, One game at a time. But that's great to hear though

What a bonus day this is looking like


Plymouth back ahead and even if Wednesday do win, 3 points for Town today would be huge and would put things firmly in to our hands.

Thatโs not correct. We need 94 points at the moment for automatic promotion, it will only drop to two after the outcome of Tuesdays game at Barnsley.
No surprise weโve dropped to second place as Plymouth are leading g 2-1

Team got a 2 - 0 lead, got to check other scores but seems we're well on course for any automatic promotion.
Hell it's so close you can almost touch it. Don't think we'll allow a two goal lead slip with the time remaining.
Thought today would be tough. Maybe it has been but you got to take certain encouragement from the score. f*ck we're almost going to be a Championship club name in August, just feels that near to achieving it.

This is Wednesday's 44th game, so if they lose the max they can get is 93pts, draw and that is 94pts. If Ipswich win they're on 91pts and with goal difference being so favourable, they'd only need two or three more pts.

Youโre forgetting Barnsley !
Weโre still in a 4 horse race until Tuesday.
Win at Barnsley and weโre up unless Wednesday can recover and win today.

Yeah, I did forget them! But then they are still to play the best team in the league, so I think we can count them out
Wednesday now ahead

plymouth, resilient bastards aren't they. I don't care if they get 1st place and us 2nd. It's all about automatic promotion, they can have their title win. I'd celebrate finishing 2nd place and going up there and then. Would be a fantastic achievement in itself, didn't think possible at times this season.
can't understand why McGoldrick is so prolific at Derby and failed for us, not that we need him.
damn it, SWFC got a lead now ? We're going to have to get auto promotion by ourselves, others aren't dropping enough points.
3 - 0 now, Ladapo ? and that's that. We're going to win. Spoiled the prediction league but f*ck it it's all about the team.

What has changed is if we beat Exeter and Fleetwood then Barnsley doesn't matter, I'll take that.

It spoiled my 0-2 prediction too AP but Iโll happily take that. Hope Town alone donโt spoil your place in the TB Cup Final.

Iโd prefer we donโt leave it till the final day Mike, Iโd prefer just to sit back and enjoy that.

What I see is a free hit against Barnsley. If we win that Big bonus but must win against Exeter and Fleetwood

Last few seconds are academic, no need to continue. What to say ? We're having the best season for near 20 years and look very likely to go up automatic but don't want to hex no chance by saying it. The other challengers are a goddamn nuisance, they fight and fight away and just cause problems. If weren't winning near every game ourselves we'd be in real difficulty of making it.
Check out highlights and reaction when time allows it. We're so close to getting out this piece of sh*t league, it;'ll be a real relief and pleasure when it becomes a reality in a few short weeks. Would say if, but screw it, we're going to do it aren't we.

Who remembers when we couldn't beat the so called top teams? Now its like not just beating them but putting them to the sword
