Ipswich game a 6 pointer

[Nick]

Definitely not a 6 pointer/must win game, but would be nice to get a win!

I know it's a bit early for it to be a must win game, but it is a 6 pointer, do the maths.

There are 72 points still to play for this season so declaring any game at this juncture as a "must win 6-pointer" is a bit OTT.

[Hertford Hoop]

Wasn't that at home?

It was the away game but the score was 0-3, fantastic game in the evening, both teams unbeaten at the time. The home game was 2-0 so you're right there

If Ipswich is a 6 pointer then every game is a 6 pointer.

Where in the thread does it say this is a "must win" game? What I said was we need to win to stay in the race for a play-off spot. Ipswich win and they go 8 points ahead of us. It's not a must win game.

Not if the team we are playing are only one or two points ahead of us.

If they were 6 points clear wouldn't it be a bigger six pointer??

My concern is that even if we go up, is this team good enough to survive.

Who cares? The competition at the moment is the Championship. Worry about next year when it comes. What's the alternative....lose a few games 'cos we're not a Prem outfit?

We won't go above them if we beat them so it is nothing like a 6 pointer.

[swede]

It's a 3 pointer.

[Olly]

So how many minimum points ahead is a six pointer? And how many minimum points ahead is a five pointer and a four pointer?

yes

It is, if we lose we go 8 points behind, a bit of a gap. If we win it's only 2 points behind and closing in on a play-off position. It's a six pointer, people just feel the need to disagree.
