You may already be up

Re: You may already be up

Yes, it was obvious months ago, I don't think Bolton will go up through the playoffs either. The gap will grow, we will improve for the run-in, as we can't do any worse. The International break came at the perfect time for a complete rethink and refresh, especially with two Strikers back.

The way BBM was speaking about Salech and Davies I would be very surprised to see either of them (let alone both) back for the full run in. He has talked about good progress but with caution. They should both be back in full training sometime during the international break - Salech before Davies if I understood him right - and barring set-backs should both play 'after the international break' but that doesn't necessarily mean for Peterborough or even Bolton.

Re: You may already be up

Bolton are your nearest threat but are effectively 12 points behind with 7 games to go as your goal difference is much better.
They average 1.66 points per game. So they are on course for another 11 or 12 points from their remaining games.
You're going up!

This is Cardiff City remember! ;-)

Thanks for the analysis though and a nice result for your boys on Sat. We know how how it feels to be on the end of a result like that at Loftus Road :-o

Bolton are away to Plymouth Cardiff and Bradford
Home to Stockport, Stevenage Huddersfield and Luton

According to my Bolton mates they have been utterly woeful this season as well and have never had any chance of catching us - Bradfords fixtures also include Plymouth Bolton and Stevenage

They are not getting 5 wins from those fixtures and even if they do that takes them to 81 points

We only need 2 more wins ........

I think he will want to rush them back, if at all possible. Fingers crossed, there are no setbacks.

Why would he want to rush them back? I’d have thought the opposite based on how he talks as a people manager

Yes, but he wants a strong finish, and they have all summer to prepare for next season. We've been found out; he needs more than a blunt knife in the final fight; he could do with a couple of guns to vary things a bit.

Re: You may already be up

When I posted this Cardiff had 77 points and a much better goal difference than the teams below you.
You had done enough in March to go up.

But as has already been said, we are a pessimistic lot. Looking from the outside, nobody gave a chance to Bolton, Bradford etc of catching us but while it was mathematically possible we still feared the worse. However, when you look at the final table, it was obvious our fears were unfounded.
