PNE are sitting in a great position after 35 games. Todays game against Ipswich was a ‘six pointer’ and Ipswich were on a run so the 3-2 win kept them in the play-off position. Only Sheffield United can move them out by winning games in hand so it is largely in North Ends hands.
At the moment there is little consistency in the whole division so anyone in the top half could go up. You might think that a club who can only get 12,000 on a game that could keep them in the running in the division isn’t going to do much in the Premier League. They are doing well enough in the Championship and the money in Premier League should allow strengthening. I’d have little confidence of enough strengthening though. So savour the moment.
