Yet another international break where a load of friendlies take place at the expense of bread and butter football, well for the top 2 divisions anyway. So roughly a very important part the first third of the season has gone so multiply points by 3 and that should be what teams finish up with! SO city on 45! we all expect to exceed this, so lets base it on last 8 games ( settled down a bit) and multiply by 4, add to what we have and what do we get == 63! 63 is probably the most we can expect, and at this stage most fans will be hoping this is so. 16 weeks and 192 games played, so the league so far has offered 576 points, but how many have the teams accepted? .. .. .. just 512 so 64 have been lost to the wind, and yep it is one of those unique moments in time The championship has WON 64 DRAWN 64 LOST 64. IF YOU WIN 1 DRAW 1 LOSE 1 AND WIN THE OUTSTANDING YOU GET 63PTS Should we now manage this we would win 10, draw 10, lose 10 and finish on 65 points, SO above 60pts will make me happy! now lets see next 3 lose against Hull and win/draw comes from Rotherham or Blackburn.. then lose at DERBY and ............... etc etc etc
Personally, as long as there are 3 clubs below us after 46 games I will be happy. I think we'll do exceptionally well to get 65 points. How many points will be required to achieve safety is the big question.
depends on the teams in close proximity and draws! TEAMS WITH 17 POINTS OR LESS AT THE MOMENT 22 MATCH'S BETWEEN BOTTOM 9 CLUBS 66 POINTS ON OFFER 56 TAKEN UP 10 GONE WITH THE WIND MKD ... ... P 7 .. 13 pts .. WWWWDLL 3wins at home and win and away,away ! PNED.. .. . P6 .. 12pts .. .. WWWDDD win and 2 draws and away 2 wins and a draw HUDS .. .. P4 .. 8 pts .. .. WWDD CITY ... ... P4 .. 6 pts .. .. WDDD Won and drew at home, drew 2 away BBRN .. .. P4 .. 5 pts .. .. WDDL FLOR .. .. P5 .. . 5 pts .. .. WDDLL BOLT .. .. .P 4 .. . 3 pts .. . DDDL ROTH .. .P 4 .. ..2 pts .. . DDLL CHAR . .. P 6 .. . 2pts .. .. DDLLL So far we are undeafeated at home or away in our 4 games against the lower 9 teams, that's 12 games to go and a likely 30 points more? add to our "9 " that's 39! add pts from other 18 games = Total of 52 and that should be safe!
I believe there are more than 3 worse teams so hopefully we will be fine. Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
