But I also look at things with perspective and that is that a win tomorrow is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 The way that LJ will impress me is when/if he starts winning and playing attractive football, it's very simple. He and us fans know that football is all about winning but to me winning in an attract way is just as important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I disagree with you there 169, Ipswich are there for the taking imo, they haven't been in great form as of late and have a bit of an injury crisis imo they are there for the taking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 We could average a point per game and still have a chance of staying up. If we beat the teams around us we will totally stay up, I wouldn't be surprised if we don't go back into the relegation places again this season.

The bonus of having a brand new man at the helm is that everyone is now playing for a place - clean slate syndrome, if you will... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love for that to happen and as mentioned above the target should (and will be) to win each game one at a time but talk about aiming high.

There's no way that it will take that amount to stay up. Could be as low as 40 but more likely 45/46. 46 will be the number required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Points needed for survival .Pretty consistent the last 4 years 48 or 49, that's why I said 50 needed. 2014 - 2015 46 2013 – 2014 44 2012 – 2013 48 2011 - 2012 48 2010 – 2011 48 2009 – 2010 49 Tell me where you think the points are going to come from please if not helped by our Home advantage with the marvellous support fans have given. I really do want us to stay in the Championship. There's got to be a notional plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeh Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 we should beat mk dons bolton and rotherham that's 9 points which will put us on 37, I fancy us tomorrow, at blackburn and huddlesfield thats another 9 puts us on 46, we need 4 draws then, Cardiff (because its a derby game) Wednesday because we always draw with them at the gate brentford and QPR, thats the final 4 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surviving: 53. 2006-07 – Down: Southend 42. Surviving: 49. 2005-06 – Down: Crewe 42. Surviving: 50. 2004-05 – Down: Gillingham 50. Surviving: 50. 2003-04 – Down: Walsall 51.

Lew-T Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Whether you like it or not. This is a results business... At this moment in time, winning the fans is all great and that but actions speaks louder on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes without saying, it is refreshing though to have a manager who seems more approachable and interactive with fans - this 3 lions thing, appearing on the twentyman show next Monday and the fact he's on Twitter. It's not a bad thing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs4Red Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Was impressed with his appointment due to it being a long term appointment and not a short term. He is forward thinking and someone who does everything possible to better himself which is great! The more I hear from him and the more we see of him, the more impressive he becomes and I have every faith he will turn people's opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 30 games we've won 6 and drawn 10 which gives us the 28 points. If we continue at the same rate we will win another 3 and draw 5 or 6 which gives us another 14 or 15 points for a total of 42 or 43. Which hasn't been enough for survival for at least the past 15 odd years. So something will have to change. If improve enough to win 6 games at home we will be around the 50 point mark and hoped for survival. Not difficult to work out is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You spoke about being realistic then mentioned that you think we'd need to win at least 6 home games. We could well do that but I wouldn't think it was very realistic and don't see why we won't be able to win some away games as well/instead.

BCFC_Dan Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I've not looked into this in any detail but I'd wager that the teams towards the bottom nearly always improve their form in the second half of the season. It's rare that you get any that are miles off the standard for the league and the teams who are in mid-table start to give up as they have less and less to play for. Look at our last relegation season and we actually produced top 6 form in the period between McInnes leaving and Jon Stead getting injured.
