with 10 to go using the last 10 games as the form guide wfc 66 + 22 = 88pts nor 65 + 22 = 87pts mid 66 + 19 = 85pts der 66 + 18 = 84pts bou 66 + 15 = 81 pts bre 62 + 16= 78pts but if we us the guide of bodbo on a draw if you play a top 8 side a win all the rest then bou 66+2 draws + 8x3 = 92pts nor 65+2 draws +8x3 = 91pts wfc 66+3draws + 7x3= 90pts bre 62 +1 draw +9x3 = 90pts der 66 + 5draws+5x3= 86pts mid 66 +6 draws+4x3=84pts as everyone knows its going to be close and one or two results can make all all the difference
after sat results things are starting to unfold using current home and away form them wfc = 91 pts nor =86 pts bou =86 pts mid =85 pts der =82 pts bre =78 pts it would be nice to go up with a game to spare lol but if we use the guide of bodbo of a draw for playing a top 8 side and winning the rest then its like this bou = 92 pts nor = 91 pts wfc = 90 pts bre = 87 pts mid = 86 pts der = 83 pts we all know that any team that wins all 9 games will go up apart from maybe brentford
I would be very surprised if teams that finish in the top two do not lose two games before the end of the season. The only draws that can be added to those two defeats are in matches against rivals.
i agree i think the team that takes the top spot will have to win 7 or 8 games but with 4 still in the mix we need close to 90 for the 2ond spot
The one thing that worries me is that both of our Easter fixtures are on Sky as we've only won once this season when we've been on the box, away to Fulham. We've lost all of the others.
we need at least 8 points from the next 4 games that would put us no more than 3 pts off the 2ond place
Well, 3 games closer and 7 points gained - seems too good to be true! It is, but i'll come to that in a minute. Going on form over last 5,8 & 10 games, we are top. (* 'cos there's 8 games to go) So, if form from last 8 is maintained over final 8 games, then we get... WFC 91 boro 85 Norwich 84 bournemouth 82 Brentford 78 Derby 76 Wolves 76. It just so happens that our last 3 games have seen... A well-earned draw at molineux that could have gone either way, though we finished stronger. A win against a team of schoolboys A win against a team who haven't win at home since August. whilst Derby, boro, Bournemouth and the rest Norwich been bashing hell out of each other. Our turn to come! So I reckon that if we can get 5 points (1 win 2 draws) or better from next 3, and 4 wins from remaining 5, we'll have 89 points. Is it good enough ? Who knows, but probably, given that the current best team (in my opinion) are boro, whio have the hardest programme. Apparently, Danny finkelstein is writing a column in Saturdays Times about this exact conundrum.
as everyone knows there is still very little in it between the top sides and boro are winning the hard games ipswich and derby have little current form if we could win them then a draw would be ok for both boro and us
we cant lose than many points im taking the lucky scarf to the ipswich game and i will ware it every game thats on the tv or stream
This is what Robert Lee thinks: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...bournemouth-tipped-for-championship-promotion
http://hereisthecity.com/en-gb/2015...f-the-season-began-january-1-leeds-and-fores/ Based on this since Xmas results table The three form teams are Watford, Boro and Norwich. The other play off teams have all significantly poorer form ...... any 2 from 3 for automatic promotion places??? Or the team that has the slightest dip will falter. I am optimistic given our strength in depth and the different tactical options open to us....
I am hopeful, no more, that we do not have to fight it out in the play-offs. 1. I am on holiday when they are being played, and do not wish to spend that time searching for a signal. 2. Teams that are promoted through the play-offs are disadvantaged by having several weeks less to prepare. 3. Too much stress at my age.
About now is when we traditionally start to drop points. Hopefully, under SJ we won't do that this season.
im sure that only one of the other teams will get more than 90 pts so if we get 89pts or more then thats 2ond 3 dont forget bour its any 2 from 4
