THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE - Tigers Are Going Up Automatically!

Right lads, I've been doing some proper research and the numbers are actually making me lose my mind with excitement. Hear me out.


The Slow Start Nobody Wants to Talk About

First 15 games of the season? Only 22 points.

Yeah, it was grim. We all know it. Half of us were ready to sack Jakirović before Christmas. But something changed...


What Happened From Game 16 Onwards

From game 16 to game 30 — 27 points from 15 games.

That's 1.80 points per game. That is automatic promotion form, full stop.

Derby 4-2 at home. Portsmouth away. Southampton away. We are absolutely flying right now.


The Maths That Should Excite Every Tiger

Current points: 60
Games remaining: 12
If we maintain 1.80 per game: +22 points
Season total: 89 POINTS

When has 89 points NOT been enough for automatic promotion? Answer: almost never.


Bottom Line

We started slow. We found our form. We are now one of the most in-form teams in the Championship.

3rd place. 12 games left. Automatic promotion in our hands.

Come on City. We're going up.

When has 89 points NOT been enough for automatic promotion? Answer: LAST SEASON!
Luckily, Middlesbrough seem to be doing a great job of not wanting to go up automatically and now with 2 easier games on paper for us, there's a real chance to pick up 6 points and put pressure on Boro/Millwall for 2nd spot. I think we'll end up in the play-offs though.
