Say we forget what’s happened in the recent past (oh if we could) and look at what the next (potentially) six games could mean not only for the future of the club but as a test of Lee Johnson’s managerial credentials.
It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that 3 wins from the next six games could ensure promotion.
For arguments sake say we draw tomorrow night (1-1 anyone?) and win at Plymouth at the weekend.
Northampton, a side desperate for a result to stay in the league then come to Sunderland and secure the point that keeps them up.
That would leave us on 78 points which I think would be enough to secure 3rd or at worst 4th place in the final table.
Another draw in our first leg play off semifinal is followed by a narrow victory in the return leg taking us back to Wembley having achieved two wins from five.
A final victory would ensure promotion achievable from a win every other game in our last six.
Looks pretty straightforward....... what could possibly go wrong?
