ciderup Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm very bored so had a look at what games we have left and came up with the following points haul.

Bar BS3 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 For the first time this season I'm confident of staying up now. Looking at the fixtures a month ago I couldn't see where the next win was coming from. Now it's unthinkable that we won't get at least 4 more wins from that list, which should be plenty.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 No-one seems to think we can beat Cardiff at home. I see no reason why we can`t they`re no great shakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that 12 points plus the odd draw will be enough. Although having said that, I can't see any of the bottom three getting to 40 points at this rate, bar possibly a resurgent Bolton, so we may have as little as two wins to secure our Championship status. A remarkable turnaround in the space of two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't know until nearer the end of the season what was needed but if we won another 4 games I'd be astounded if we went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of solid but not great teams in this league. Lose a few and I cannot see where the next win is coming. Win a few, and suddenly they all look winnable! Our recent form has been good, but if I was playing devils advocate we have beaten (well) two relegation rivals and a team in Ipswich with a few injuries. Got a good gap now, but not secure just yet. Just needs any of the bottom three to get on any sort of run and it could all change very quickly. We just need to keep doing what we are doing now. Next three games are an excellent benchmark of our progress, would be very happy with four points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle with things like this. Because we're winning at the moment, I expect us to win every game. When we're losing I expect us to lose. So, I'll accept nothing less than 42.

JoeAman08 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 It's a tough one because the bottom 3 are so bad. Can they keep up being that bad? We were there and have found form so it can be done though different circumstances. It's hard seeing them hit 40. We are on 34 I believe. 3 wins and 2 draws puts us on 45 and that should be more than enough compared to those below us. That's points in 11 points from 42. I don't think we've been that poor all season so I feel like we are going to be ok. Id love for us to keep current form and push on to mid table to help summer recruitment. Say 21 from 42 would put us on 55 and probably at least 16th. Would be a good spot to push on as a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 The way the defence has tightened up , the goals starting to come and the team spirit that exists we should be safe and i can see us winning at least seven of the last fourteen games . Never in doubt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would mean that Rotherham (22nd) will need to double their current points tally to finish higher than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 There is already a thread on this called "Run in results and Points prediction" dum, dum dummmmm anyway my predictions from there because all the others are eliminated for failing at the first hurdle (beating MK Dons) yes, yes I am the winner after just one match !!! MK Dons - Away = 3 points Brighton - Home = 0 points Forest - Away = 0 points Cardiff - Home = 0 points Wolves - Away = 3 points Fulham - Away = 3 points Bolton - Home = 3 points Hull - Away = 0 points Rotherham - Home = 1 point Sheffield Wed - Home = 0 points Brentford - Away = 3 points Derby - Home = 1 point Blackburn - Away = 3 points Huddersfield - Home = 0 points QPR - Away = 0 points 6 wins - 2 draws - 7 Defeats = 20 points and another healthy total of 51 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I have a good feeling about the next two games. Brighton looked poor and we finally have put the NF hoodoo to bed. I see another six points coming soon kind regards Mystic OXO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten minutes of rough Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I will be upset if we don't get at least 20 points from 14, our current form with a new head coach would suggest however we should make the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this and think we need to keep reminding ourselves: outside of the top five or six, there's a load of hit and miss, inconsistent sides, with problems behind the scenes, money problems and transfer embargoes, some fairly ordinary players (as well as the odd special one), disappointed grumbling fans, boardroom splits, unmet expectations, all sorts of problems and challenges. We can compete in this league. Go on, repeat after me: we can compete in this league. Again: we can compete in this league. Keep saying this. There's quality in this league, there's mediocrity in this league, and there's dross in this league, much like any other league. People employed at this club heard to say: "we can't compete" need to be shown the door and replacements found. We can compete in this league! Again: we can compete in this league! Again: we can........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiale Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 In my predictions we may lose the next three, that's when we will know if the fans have the heart..... or we might just win them all and push for promotion, WTH do I know !!

Davefevs Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I still think this is the best Championship I've seen. There is an abundance of talented players in this division, and don't forget we won League One at a canter, so we have good players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen many average sides at AG this season that we should be beating. Last season was one of the weakest League 1 has been in my opinion, not trying to rain on our own parade but it was a poor league and this seasons is even worse at that level. I remember under the Wilson years there were some genuinely good teams at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Peterborough were relegated with 54 points three season ago. City were bottom with 41 points. To be 100% sure I reckon it's 55 points. Obviously it's likely to far less and 50 should be enough. Another 7 wins should keep us up.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderup Posted February 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 The Rotherham fans think they will need 47 to stay up. We should reach that target relatively comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
