11 game @ 1.95 = 21 points. That maybe close, but not on the last 2 games performances.

Llan, you might want to check your maths here.
29 points from 19 games is 1.52 points per game not 1.95.
11 games at 1.52 points gives just under 17 points which definitely won't be enough.

We need to clear out the squad, hopefully accumulating a decent transfer kitty and then see what Neil Harris can do to build his own squad this summer. It's the only way I believe we can change our playing style to better equip ourselves to handle the Premier League.

all this clear out stuff ?. we really are not that bad mate..2nd best home record in the league prior to Tuesday.. 6 points off the play offs.. where as a clear out even if it were possible would 100% mean sub standard replacements..

Exactly we need better coaching and an actual plan of how we want to play for a start. Just hope we don’t continue to waste millions buying in old average players with no sell on value.

We've got to plan for the future as well. We have a slow, overpaid, ageing squad and there are certain players in our squad who don't have the correct character to consistently perform. Our performance away to Birmingham is the best example of how our players choose to only try to perform when they want to. It isn't good enough.
Also, why are you assuming we would only get sub standard replacements if we sell players? Neil Harris might bring some great players in, we won't know until he's given the chance.
This is the first time in my 30 years supporting us where I wouldn't be disappointed if any of our players leave. I think every single player in our squad is replaceable.

Current form says so, average points this season says so, Harris’ record says so. If we do manage it it’ll be because something has changed behind the scenes or absolute poor form from 4 or 5 other sides, which I can’t see happening. Would love us to be in with a shout for a little longer, even keeping the bragging rights with the JB’s open for a while but I can’t see it. We’ll finish below them, out of the playoffs and top half if we’re lucky.

I gaurantee you we will finish above Swansea. Playoffs likely over given Tomlin is out. Only hope is that other teams bottle it big time. Been a pretty shit year for championship football.
