Re: Required points for promotion.
I have this (silly little) dream where Wrexham fade away, Huddersfield don't make a serious dent in the 10 point gap and by mid April we're worrying about catching Birmingham rather than staying in second.

It seriously seems Kone is better from one game to the next at this point. Following his career (hopefully a good chunk still with us) is going to be a joy!
Re: Required points for promotion.
Agree with this. I still think it has been a very strong L1 top to bottom this season - I personally think the deepest ever - and this "anyone can beat anyone" element, rather than being top heavy, should mean a lower total needed.
Re: Required points for promotion.
I would recommend Jack Grimmer’s interview on the website. He correctly points out that there are bound to be setbacks between now and the end of the season, the important thing is that we stick together and keep believing.
Re: Required points for promotion.
The six point gap is only important if we can hang onto it. Every game is vital now for everyone...even Birmingham could slip up. Nice to be worried about losing automatic promotion rather than relegation though!
Re: Required points for promotion.
45 points from 18 games to end the season would be quite something!
Re: Required points for promotion.
I don't think as many will be needed for automatic promotion this season. Wrexham or Huddersfield would need to pull out some crazy form to hit 90 points, and both appear to be faltering. Bear in mind that Wrexham have played 16 at home and 12 away so far. Huddersfield have played 15 at home and 12 away themselves
Re: Richard Kone signs
Important to note here that Barry won't score another League 1 goal this season, so in effect, 2nd place in the active scorers charts is Stansfield, 4 behind the King.
