We still need only 4 more points

Still going 3 hours later. I'll check in again in another 3.

Yeah ofcourse realistically its not done yet, but when I meant 4 points before the Barnsley game and now another point, my reasoning is quite simple:

We get one more point and with our vastly superior GD, other teams will need 84 points.

That means two of the next four things would have to happen:

Cardiff have to win 4 out of their remaining 5 to reach that total
Norwich (possibly without Grant Holt although this wasn't the case when i originally posted) would need 13 from 15 points, LOL
Swansea (shocking form of late, inexperienced players this part of the season, tough matches etc) would need 14 from 15 points, i.e. win all their remaining games don't make me laugh!
Reading, all though on a great run, would have to win all their games as well.

The chance of any of these happening are very slim, for two of them to happen, you are on cloud cockoo land.

Makes sense to me, in a probability sort of way, rather than a mathematical way.
Personally, I think the three points last night were well significant and were probably the key ones -- can't now see the others catching or overtaking us.
