Play offs

Still possible. Sounds like Slade has not lost the dressing room.

Ken Choo says 3 loan signings being sought.and Tan talks to them evedryday and has not lost interest.
Still don't think Slade is the man but still ho
He he proves me wrong. He likes doing that!

We are in a bunch finish so we realistically need to make up 8 point to be in the hunt for the last 8 games at Easter. There's an international break before.

We are roughly averaging 1.45 points a game, so over 11 games, 6 of which are home.

11 games * 1.45 points =16
Deficit = 8 points

Total= 24 points out of 33 which means

5 home wins & home draw = 16 point
So out of 5 away games we need 8 points meaning 2 wins and 2 draws.

So over the next 11 games we need

7 wins
3 draws
1 loss

That's tough, we need one hell of a run. :ayatollah:

I agree that its a bunch finish. A lot of teams are closely matched. In the last 3 years

6th 2012/3 Leicester 68
2013/4 Brighton 72
2014/5 Ipswich 78
2015/6 Cardiff ??? Say it will require 72 points. If that is so then as we have 40 it means we need 32 from 19! Winning 9 losing drawing 5 and losing 5. That is by no means impossible.
It could even be that 68 would be enough!
If we keep some pace in the team and hang of to Manga Marshall and Ralls who knows? I just hope that games like Burnley (dropping 2 points etc) doesn't turn out as the difference. Anyway well done Slade today and the season is still alive. :thumbup:

It's all about consistency. If we go on a run there's an outside chance.
I believe we'll bring in a striker on loan.
