As promised here is the second thread updated after 2 games about targets for PlayOff or Auto promotion. After the disappointment of the Blackpool fiasco the welcome win against Leicester has helped the targets to stay within reach. The table shows games played, points to date and target points for Playoff or Auto promotion. It also shows the points Leeds Utd had at the same stage last season This is only for Stats geeks HTML: This P/Off Auto Points Games …… Season Pts Pts Last Yr 10 …… 17 17 18 14 12 …… 21 20 22 17 14 …… 22 23 26 20 16 …… 25 26 30 24 .. …… .. .. .. .. 18 …… ?? 30 33 28 20 …… ?? 33 37 32 22 …… ?? 36 41 38 24 …… ?? 40 44 40 26 …… ?? 43 48 41 28 …… ?? 46 52 45 30 …… ?? 50 55 49 32 …… ?? 53 59 53 34 …… ?? 56 63 54 36 …… ?? 59 67 60 38 …… ?? 63 70 61 40 …… ?? 66 74 63 42 …… ?? 69 78 65 44 …… ?? 73 81 66 46 …… ?? 76 85 72 From the above table you can see the collapse last season from GAME 36 (60 pts) with only 12 points from the last 10 games. Currect Position at GAME 16 1 pt AHEAD of last seasons points after same number of games 1 point BEHIND of PLAYOFF target (based on 76pts) 5 points BEHIND AUTO taget (based on 85 pts) I will update the table after every 2 games until I get depressed at possibly being too far behind targets !!! =================================== Current Projected SEASON TOTALS based on pts per game so far. This shows 89 pts in Auto Place (higher than average) and 74pts for a PlayOff (just below average) HTML: SOUT 104 …… CRYS 72 …… PETE 63 WHAM 89 …… LEED 72 …… IPSW 61 MIDD 86 …… BLAC 72 …… READ 60 CARD 78 …… DERB 69 …… BURN 55 BIRM 74 ….. BRIG 66 …… PORT 55 HULL 74 …… LEIC 63 …… BARN 52 Whats the verdict ? Are we happy ? On December 31st we will be at Game 24 and hopefully on around 42 points which would be very good news. BUT this means 17 points from 8 games. (3 at Home and 5 Away) Burnley...A Barnsley ..H Nottm F ..A Millwall ..H Watford ..A Reading ..H Derby ..A Barnsley.. A. I think 14/15pts is more realistic. We shall see
Dave, I was reviewing an old thread of mine where I predicted we would get 11 out of the 21 points available & we did, albeit I got a few results around the wrong way! If we keep that run up I think we will just miss out on the play offs, but we got 4 points off two bogey teams so there is hope! lets just hope we dont get left behind in the january transfer window & I can see us pushing the others all the way
Burnley...A WIN Barnsley ..H WIN Nottm F ..A LOSE Millwall ..H DRAW Watford ..A WIN Reading ..H WIN Derby ..A DRAW Barnsley.. A WIN Oh and theres your 17 points
Bucks 17 points !! ... Rose tinted by any other method ! January window ? Remember last year we were all hopefull for a push towards promotion. We got nowt from Papa and ended with a run of 10 games and 12 points. But having said that even if we got to a playoff last year I doubt we could have won through that stage to promotion. It must be better to do it automatically. Heres hoping Yogi.
realistically all of those are winnable games (not saying we will win all of them) but this must go down as quite an easy run of games for a while
Only three home matches and five away, if we win the home games and draw the aways it would give us 14 points, sneak an away win and 17 but we are as likely to mess up at home and drop points. I think 14 points is most we can expect
