20 games left, 60 points to play for

Wed Jan 02, 2013 5:59 pm

how many points will secure us automatic promotion in your opinion ? do you think we'll get the points ?

games left are (win/lose/draw-my thoughts)

1.ipswich draw
2.blackpool win
3.leicester win
4.leeds (as much as i hate to say it i think we'll lose)
5.huddersfield draw
6.bristol city win
7.brighton draw
8.wolves win
9.middlesborough lose
10.derby win
11.barnsley win
12.sheff wed draw
13.peterborough draw
14.blackburn win
15.watford win
16.forest lose
17.charlton draw
18.burnley lose
19.bolton draw
20.hull (depending on where we both are it could go either way)
if ive added up properly that would give us 33 points so we would finish on 89 points, i think that would be enough to take us up automatically.

opinions ? what do you think about the games left to play ?

I hate it when players and managers say it but I really do feel we just need to look at it game by game now. The table can change to rapidly, we just need to keep that gap as long as possible and try to extend it to keep the pressure off

That's a lot of draws when we have only drawn two so far. Get off the fence. ;)

I went through all the games and it came to 89 points as well. That should be enough. :ayatollah:

2.15 x 20 = 43

43 + 56 = 99

Flake time :lol:

8-7-4 (minus Hull) is pretty pesimistic considering the first half, I think the squad is going to get even better.

Over the last 20 I look for a similar record at least to the first half so...11-5-4

94 points

Games like Charlton, Ipswich, Blackpool, Brighton we should win

We need to be averaging 2 points a game, which we're ahead of already, I think there should be fewer draws than that, we've all seen how much fight this team put in this year to win games and see them out, not settling for draws like last season.

Form changes through the season for each team so itis difficult to predict what could happen in a couple of months. So going on present form this is what I expect happen

1.ipswich win
2.blackpool draw
3.leicester draw
4.leeds draw
5.huddersfield win
6.bristol city win
7.brighton win
8.wolves win
9.middlesborough lose
10.derby win
11.barnsley win
12.sheff wed draw
13.peterborough draw
14.blackburn draw
15.watford lose
16.forest draw
17.charlton win
18.burnley draw
19.bolton win
20.hull draw

Thats 36 points making it 92 total. I believe 86 points will be enough for an auto place. Therefore our home game against Charlton will guarantee us promotion.

I reckon 11 wins or the equivalent should do it. If we do go on a bad run we will all get twitchy so I hope the team keep going on this ruthless streak :ayatollah:
