Are we promoted yet?
As I see it, we are 7 points clear of 4th with 3 games to go. Leeds are 4th with 7 points, assuming they win the next 3 league games they"ll end up on 16points.
We therefore need 3 more points to secure promotion (If we got 2 points thus 16 points each, Leeds would go above us by virtue of 2nd place finishes, as 1st places finishes would be 4 each)
If Leeds fail to win in Matchday 8 then we would need only 1 point to secure promotion!! (15 each and we would be above by virtue of more 1st places)
But we don"t wont that we want the league!!!
In order to do that we need 7 more points from the 9 available, assuming Sunderland win the next 3 matchdays.
In order to win it on Matchday 8, we need to win and Sunderland need to fail to score.
But nothing is guaranteed yet, and judging by the end of division 3 last year, it won"t be over until the river card on Matchday 10!
With, and this is written in order of importance.....superb players, playing their A game, with the added bonus of a reliable turnout week after week, we have put ourselves in a super position.
