So 21 pts from 33, leaves us on 74 pts.
That was good enough for Oxford last season to finish 6th albeit on goal difference.
If we don't manage it roll on August for the 4th attempt to get out of the 3rd tier with what will be McKenna's side. |  |

That is a tough looking run-in at the best of times. Much tougher when we need to win at least 8 of those games. |  |

If we're anticipating that we can't win a single one of our 4 games against sides above us, not even the home game against the weakest of the 4, not sure there's much point making rhe play-offs! |  |

Imo, we need to do something that we haven't managed to do all season.. Win our next 3 on the bounce.. Which is doable.. I know some of our supporters have given up the ghost.. But, as long as our players and manager haven't. Then we can still fight for it.... Win 3 on the bounce, and then we head to Oxford with a spring in out step. |  | | |

Always our nemesis though isn't it, winning key games against sides above us.
I would so love it if we did nick that 6th spot and come good in the play-offs so McKenna can have a good go in the Championship next season rather than trying to get out of this awful league one.
However being a realistic Ipswich fan, I'm resigned to the fact that we will be in League One with the likes of Forest Green Rovers next August. | |

It's a crap shoot you never know what will happen. Our season ends in April also ? What no games in May or anything, kind of surprised with that.
Only Rotherham and Oxford hold any trepidation with me, Portsmouth always get the better of us but this time imagine it'll be different. All other fixtures listed seem well within our grasp to take at least one point from if not victories.
Of course we'll have to rely on those above us slipping up in their respective games if promotion is to be a reality. All things considered and while it's feasible, just imagine promotion may just be out of reach for this season. Pity is, McKenna should have come in earlier. |  | | |

I personally think we win the next 3
And take 4 points from the Plymouth/Oxford games.
Do that and it sets us up well.
But seriously where are the goals coming from? Unless midfielders score we are stuck.
Norwood looks done (weird because he was on one a few weeks back)
Bonne shot to pieces
Jackson hasn’t got a scoring streak in him
Pigott, lol
Over to Burns Chaplin celina and aluko to fire us to 6th |  |

Norwood just doesn't fit at all for me. Too chaotic and not good enough with the ball at his feet to play in a McKenna side. Bonne was getting stick yesterday but he offered far more than Norwood and was at least in the right place to miss the chances.
Celina has to start every game for me. He's the match winner and the player capable of creating something from nothing. Surely whatever your game plan is, he plays. |  | | |

I think 21 points is attainable but most other teams in the mix have games in hand, so I sadly don’t see 21 points being enough. |  |

I reckon we'll beat Plymouth but struggle against the other sides above us. Not beyond the realms of possibility that both Rotherham and Wigan will secure promotion against us within a few days of each other. |  |

Oxford came to Portman Road to face Paul Cook's Ipswich and spent most of the game on the back foot and time-wasting.
Wigan offered little more than one offside goal, at home to a McGreal team that had capitulated days earlier.
Plymouth played well for no more than 5 minutes either side of half time, against a Cook team in full "shooting itself in the foot" mode.
We're better than we were then. I see absolutely no reason to be scared of these games. I reckon we'll give Rotherham a better game now too. [Post edited 27 Feb 2022 13:30]
