TommyPowell Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 30 games to go Having looked at the fixtures the only matches i can see us struggling in are Brentford-Brighton-Newcastle Norwich and Leeds all away. So can we get 55 out of the possible 75 left My answer is a big fat YES from me just so long as none of our key players dont get injured and thats not taking into account any new signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 90 points why not? Oh and to break tinpot Reading points record while we're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Got to admire your optimism but let's not get carried away. I can see home: Wins v: Rotherham, Forest, Wigan, Burton, Bristol, Cardiff, Barnsley, Preston, QPR, Huddersfield and Wolves. Draws: Birmingham, Reading and Fulham. Defeats: Norwich Away: Wins: Wigan and Rotherham Draws: QPR, Ipswich, Blackburn, Forest, Birmingham and Brentford Defeats: Fulham, Norwich, Leeds, Newcastle, Villa, Brighton and Wednesday. Making 48 I reckon but who knows in this league and there are bound to be a couple of unexpected wins and defeats (Burton at home anyone for their first away win of the season?)

Very impressive record they've got and they should be proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBB Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 This type of thread, no disrespect, is as laughable as one declaring we are going down and all the players should be replaced by the kids when we don't win a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyPowell Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 who said anthing about 90 points What i did ask was can we get 55 points out of the the 90 possible which according to my math that would give us 75 in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4ev6is Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I think we can go up with steve mac at the helm now. I am happy how the lads are playing and if we can find frees now i say have them on trail and see if they make the grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogram Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Since when have we not had key players injured ? It seems like a steady stream of bad injuries in the last few years have left us short in key areas , leading to a predictable drop in performance .

ariotofmyown Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Will be interesting to see how many points you need for the playoffs this season. I may be wrong but I think there have been more of a breakaway group in recent seasons and mid-table teams have struggled to catch up with them. This season looks a bit more like championship of old where there is very little between relegation and promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 If you take Schteve's first 5 games as a barometer, we've took 10 from five games. Expand that over the next 30 games and we'd get 60 pts, add that to the points we already have and we'd have 80. It sounds a tall order but we're only 6 points of the play offs, it's not impossible.

bristolram Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I would look at it in 5 game blocks we need 9/10 points every 5 games to get into the play-off's - If we stay fairly injury free and couple more handballs on the line from Keogh and it could be possible, but I think we might have left ourselves a bit too much to do. This is the strongest this league has ever been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not lose all of those away games, playing the SM way sometimes suits us better away as we can break on the opposing team. Top 6 unless we have some further bad luck with injuries. Maybe we should factor in Keogh's mistakes as some folk think he holds us back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Hobhead Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I still think the playoffs are very doable, we have a talented squad and another window coming up to further add to that. But this thread is further proof of the schizophrenic nature of the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Le Mesmer Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 This is the Championship. Results cannot be predicted with any great consistent accuracy. We could just as easily beat Norwich 4-0 than lose at home to Rotherham. Focus and hard work a game at a time and we'll win more than we lose IMO. I do accept the thread is a light hearted look at where we could grab points though so fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
