Preston North End's eight-match unbeaten run has seen excitement grow about a possible late run for the play-offs.
PNE are currently in 10th on 47 points but what might they need over the final 12 games to make sixth spot or better? Below we take a look at what was required over the last 10 seasons.
Preston North End are eight games unbeaten in the Championship
Victory over QPR saw PNE make the play-offs by a single goal ahead of Cardiff as both teams finished on 74 points. North End lost out to Sheffield United in the semi-finals
This was Blackpool's year, Ian Holloway's side promoted to the Premier League after finishing sixth on 70 points
Nottingham Forest made the end of season shoot-out on 75 points but lost out to Swansea in the semi-finals, the Swans promoted at Wembley with a win over Reading
Blackpool were fifth and Cardiff sixth, both on 75 points. The latter lost to West Ham in the play-off semi-finals with the Hammers then seeing off Blackpool at Wembley
Leicesters final-day 3-2 win at Nottingham Forest got them in the play-offs on 68 points, the lowest needed over the last 10 years. Watford in the semi-finals proved a step too far
