    43 points from safety, if we can win today it’ll be 40.

    is that based on my prediction!!!.....lol
    TEAMS EXPECTED to be higher up the table are not..... and vice versa [ provisio being they are likely 10th to 17th ] but of course the fly in the ointment is Sheff U. Southampton / Ipswich / Watford all dragging their heals. early game points do help considerably as teams settle down around this time last year we beat OXFORD AT HOME 2-1 goals from Nahki & Sinclair crowd was 28,000 and we were 13th in the table after it on 8pts level with Norwich! 3pts from top 6!!
    Burnley Sheff u Leeds [11 pts ] in top 3rd - 6th! this season 13th is on 8 pts and 6th is on 10 points! 21st today is on 5 pts back then it was 4 points!

    Not on your prediction, 54 points is usually enough points to ensure survival, not guaranteed of course, but a decent benchmark

    well anything above 50 usually fine although depends on "quality of the24 teams" Already seeing some quite unexpected results! The more levelled out results of teams 24 to 15/16th the lower the figure....... lower teams picking up 3+ wins or around 12 points from teams in top 6 tend to raise the bar.. [ 44 -52 is a reasonable spread ]

    I don’t doubt Vyner has the skill set to play midfield, that’s not the issue for me, it’s more an issue of leaving us exposed at the back by moving him, I’d rather put McCrory there and play the loan guy from Boro in his position

    I agree, playing Zak in midfield will only weaken our defence at a time when the back 3 are looking quite impressive as a trio and working well, IMO.
    Surely we have other options to play alongside Randall? Maybe Twine, perhaps he can finally get more time on the ball and create things, allowing another attacking player to take his position in behind Riis. He is a bit lightweight in that role though is probably the concern.
