2 SPOTS IN TOP 6 ATTAINABLE 5 TEAMS REALISTICALLY WITH A CHANCE RELEGATION ZONE 2 SPOTS LIKELY 9 TEAMS IN CONTENTION [ Cardiff in 14th has 4pt gap along with 3 others on 44 pts ] TOP 6 The liklihood of any team outside of WBA .. Hull Coventry .. Norwich .. PNE reaching it remote BASED on last 6 games since mid January and only gaining 2/3rds of the points as an average to game 46 = minimum of points Hull........ ...............72pts WBA.............. ........71pts PNE........... ............71pts Norwich.......... .......67pts so BCFC need 2.25 pts a game / 27 pts and better average! BOTTOM 2 reversing top formula .... worst 6 below city ..... gain 3x more points as an average Swansea 57 BBurn 57 Birmingham 56 Millwall 48 Stoke 44 Huddersfield /QPR / Sheff W could all finish above 57 points! SO BCFC need 49 pts to survive = just2 wins in next 12 games. OK we have some "targets" so not desperate to avoid relegation, so is it a good time to give more game time to Academy / loan players [ if fit!!!! ]. There must come a time when in goes the towel and we plan for a better season next year ...... AGAIN
YOU READ IT you hear it from from fans ... but worryingly from the commentators or pundits .. "still with a chance to make play off's, still got x games left" S O R E E E E E... YE of no sensible areas of grey matter between the ears!!!........... and no real knowledge of how it actually works! before today BCFC NEEDED TO WIN at least 9 of the last eleven games + draw 1 , after todays game it was win 10 draw 1 lose 0 [ and they might sneak in! at number 6 ] should Hull or Norwich win 6 WBA 5 NO CHANCE AT ALL!
After the next series of mid week games we could cease to be looking at a remote [ impossible ] top 6 AND FIGHTING OFF a last double fistul of games that allows us to to stay a championship club!!!!!!!!!! It could be that 55 -57 points might be 22nd!
