B-Rizzle Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Just been on Sky Sports website and looked at the championship finishing tables for the last 7 years. Here is a list of what the lowest surviving team finished on:06/07 - Hull - 49 points05/06 - QPR - 50 points04/05 - Crewe - 50 points03/04 - Gills - 51 points02/03 - Stoke - 50 points01/02 - Rotherham - 49 points00/01 - Palace - 49 pointsLooking at this it shows we're going to need about 50 points, thats a lot to get. Its going to be a very long and hard season.Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 personally I want at least 50 points by easter, looking at the run in, we can't go into the last few games needing points! because it is going to be one hell of a tough run in if we are struggling!

B-Rizzle Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 For me looking at the fixture list this morning it finally sunk in that we are going to be playing in the Championship. Every game is massive! I look at the fixture list and see QPR on the first day and think thats a tough game. But they are one of the teams we need to be beating if we want to stay up.We're in for a real treat this season with some massive games, we're certainly going to have to play our part as fans and be that 12th man!

bcfcchris2016 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 i am delighted we got easy teams in the first 3 or 4 games of the season.we win most of those games then the pressure won't get to us as much going into the fatter games.

After all the teams you classify as easy such as scunny and blackpool. scunny finished above us last season and blackpool thrashed us at home.Its going to be a tough season, mark my words chrissy!

bcfcchris2016 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 definatley mattie. we do good in the first 3 or 4 games than brillaint. If we don't do as good (and after all, this is bristol city) then we already have a bit of a job on our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressure is on when we face the likes of blackpool, scunny, qpr, hull, colchester etc. becayse we need wins against them. We have a chance of picking up points against the big guns because we can just go out and play freely as we're not expected to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 As I posted on the other 50pts thread...98-99 season (last time we were in the C'ship), City were bottom with P46 W9 D15 L22 F57 A80 Pts42.Swindon amassed 50pts and had seven clubs beneath them! P46 W13 D11 L22 F59 A81 Pts50They lost as many as City had and both teams scored & conceded roughly the same number of goals. The difference was they won four games that City only drew.

Martyn Hocking Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Just been on Sky Sports website and looked at the championship finishing tables for the last 7 years.

Its going to be a very long and hard season.Thoughts?I agree that our initial target has to be 50 points and have been running the fixtures through the mainframe at Well_Red Towers this afternoon with that in mind. GJ likes to break the season up into 10-game chunks, setting a target for each chunk. I have done the same here, working on the basis that we will need 12 points from each 10 game chunk over the first 40 games of the season. Our hideous looking run-in means we cannot afford to go into the last six games looking for more than 2 or 3 points.Here are my forecasts:QPR (h) 3ptsBlackpool (a) 1ptS****horpe (h) 1ptSheff Wed (a) 0ptsCoventry (a) 1ptWBA (h) 1ptBurnley (h) 3ptsPreston (a) 0ptsBarnsley (a) 1ptSheff Utd (h) 1pt1st 10 game chunk = 12 pointsNorwich (a) 0ptsSouthampton (h) 0ptsStoke (h) 3pts take that Pulis!Wolves (a) 0ptsCharlton (h) 1ptIpswich (a) 1ptLeicester (h) 3ptsHull (a) 1ptWatford (a) 0ptsIpswich (h) 3pts2nd 10 game chunk = 12 points (24 in total)Plymouth (a) 0ptsCardiff (h) 1ptBarnsley (h) 3ptsWBA (a) 0ptsBurnley (a) 1ptCoventry (h) 3ptsColchester (h) 3ptsCrystal Palace (a) 0ptsBlackpool (h) 1ptQPR (a) 1pt3rd 10-game chunk = 13 points (37 in total)Sheff Wed (h) 1ptS****horpe (a) 0ptsCrystal Palace (h) 3ptsColchester (0) 0ptsHull (h) 3ptsCharlton (a) 0ptsLeicester (a) 1ptWatford (h) 1ptPlymouth (h) 1ptCardiff (a) 0pts4th 10-game chunk = 10 points (47 in total)Norwich (h) 1ptSouthampton (a) 0ptsWolves (h) 1ptStoke (a) 0ptsSheff Utd (a) 0ptsPreston (h) 1ptFinal 6 games = 3 pointsGRAND TOTAL = 50 POINTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 50 points is just less than 17 wins.From 46 games thats achievable imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 14 wins is enough=52 points. Johnson should focus on his 10 match blocks again and what is achievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rednready Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 14 wins is enough=52 points. Johnson should focus on his 10 match blocks again and what is achievable. I touched on this last week, and mentioned 50 points as 1.1 point a game average. In our first block of 10 I suggested we had the opportunity to come out fast and get between 12-15 points. Our second block of 10 is a real hard core Championship reality check, and I think we will be struggling to reach 10 points. As mentioned, we only have to score more than the other team. I will feel more confident when we have some solid meat and potatoes strikers signed up. They score and it will take a lot of heat off of our overworked defence who literally carried us to promotion last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
