20 points WHERE?

Sat Mar 07, 2020 5:58 pm

Last couple of years 74 points has made the play offs. Having looked at our remaining fixtures it's very difficult to see us getting 20 points. Realistically we would need to win our home games...starting with Leeds. We have a difficult run in. :bluebird:

6th place might be less this year

Very tough away games. Unfortunately our downfall will likely be the dire home displays over the last month or so

Looking at our run in it's hard to see us NOT getting 27 more points :)

I fancy us to get 17 points from that lot.

if the entire top 8 were to replicate thei last 9 results the final table would be..

3...Fulham ...80
4...Brentford....73
5....Forest...72
6....Cardiff ….69...…...plus 6
7....Preston.....69...…..plus 5
8.....Bristol city...66

It's the old saying take every game as it comes, we can do it keep the faith fellow BLUEBIRDS

Think the top 5 will stay as they are (but not necessarily in the same order). After that there are at least six teams battling for one place.... From Preston to Swansea! It's so open we might need less than20 points
BUT our run-in is pretty tough. :bluebird:

If you look at current form of 5th to 12th I don’t think any can strung 3 or 4 wins together. Whoever does will no doubt get 6th. That loss to forest is looking big now, if we had only drawn they’d be 3 points in front so 5th spot would be quite attainable too.

If we so it we will be there on merit. Rovers, Bristol City massive 6 pointers. Take points of Leeds and Fulham as well and we've got a chance of not only getting in there but doing so with momentum on our side.

really depends on results { not just ours } in the 3 games prior to those..its going to change game by game. results go for us Saturday and we could probably ride a defeat Sunday.. results go bad for us Saturday Leeds becomes a must not lose ?

Without doubt we have a difficult run in and we will need other teams above us to do us a favour and drop points. It is not in our hands.

I'm not confident we will make the top 6 but if we do finish just outside the play offs I will consider that a good season. As we all know anything can happen in this league and for once we might be lucky this time, its about time we had some, and it will turn out a better campaign tha expected.

We have two very difficult games next which we are unlikely to get anything from. We will probably be 6 or 7 points off the play offs this time next week and we will e out of it.

If we can get just one win from the two somehow then it is all to play for.

I agree that if the gap grows to 6 or more points again its all over for us.
but its so hard to predict because everyone up there is out of sorts.. who would have thought 5 points from the last 5 games would leave us as close as we are...its all a bit mad..
