45 Points will be safe

There is a very good predictor at:

I have run a couple of scenarios and think 45 points will be enough to stay up this season. Clearly we are not going to finish top 6 so, to me, it does appear to be a case of plodding to the end of the season and then buying 2 decent strikers in the summer.

Yep and yep

That would mean City just pick up 4 more points from 13 matches!

If that's how it turns out, I'll end my season early and won't bother attending!

The point I was making is that, in my opinion, we are almost safe and therefore there is very little chance of us getting promoted or relegated (personally I had us on 52 points!)

I think we will just plod to the end of the season and then get two new strikers and get ready for next season.

There are clearly some players who we have who are not up to championship football. But I think if we can get players in over the summer next season could be a lot better.

Personally I would like to see 2 up top. Playing 1 (and 1 who cant score) is part of our problem.

Playing 2 up top, if one is misfiring, then at least you have the 2nd.

We aren’t creating chances so it doesn’t matter how many we have up there.

Two up top leaves midfield short

45 points will defo not be enough as QPR are fighting and doing well. If we lose on Saturday and they beat Rotherham the difference will only be 6 points. We need 49-50.

You sound like Bulut! Two up top leaves midfield short? Who cares?

Bulut has been playing 1 striker, 2 defensive midfielders and 2 inverted wingers (who aren't wingers effectively) all season and look at the 5h1t we're in now!

All he needs to do is try 442 for home matches- you never know, with 2 strikers and only 4 midfielders we might score a goal!

Does anyone know the difference in finances for every position we finish?

Doesn't matter its equal share! Think its around £5m a club

We will care if we get over run in midfield.

We don’t have good enough strikers for 442.

Sounds painfully familiar to every recent season except last year's survival battle. Except the strikers never come (Moore aside).

Bulut needs to change is philosophy of playing 6 defenders at home have you noticed 4 defenders never go past halfway unless it's a deadball situation? With the two holding midfielders only going 10yrds over halfway that makes 6 players defending so only 4 players to attack no wonder we don't score at home? Example one free kick we had just 4 players In penalty area against 11 defenders!! Crazy crazy situation .. can onl hope next season He as learned enough of championship to change way he approaches home games
