Three Wins From Glory
My prediction for wins needed to take us to the Premier is still right on track with what I stated in November.
Saints fourth successive win on the road means that they could be as little as three wins from a Premier place, if they were to win only three and draw two of their last eight it would leave Reading having to win six of their last eight and West Ham seven from nine which for both clubs would be an enormous task as they have to play each other in eleven days time.
The trick now is to win our home games, if we win all four there would surely be no doubt, given that Reading is one of those, either way the win at Hull has really put us in the driving seat with results elsewhere going our way.
The finishing line is now well within our sights, let's not be nervous but finish the season with the confidence of champions, if we do promotion could well be sealed when Pompey visit.
