Guest Mancunian_Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) We've a ten point gap to close, its going to require teams below us doing us some favours by beating the top team, but come the end of the season we may be in the playoffs. Realistically 70 points sees you into the playoffs, but we probably need 74 as last year it was a tight table and this year looks like the same again. So we need over 33 Pts to get into the league, I've done my prediction based on current forms as I think teams like Norwich and Middlesbrough are only going to improve. Whereas Millwall and Leeds are only going to get worse. Its going to be tight but based on who we have left, we need to win at least 9 games between now and the end of the season out of the 20 games Fixture Date Pts Sheff Wed v Birmingham Tue 27 Jan 3 ReadingvSheff Wed Sat 31 Jan 1 Sheff WedvCardiff Sat 7 Feb 3 IpswichvSheff Wed Tue 10 Feb 0 Sheff WedvBrighton Sat 14 Feb 1 DerbyvSheff Wed Sat 21 Feb 0 MillwallvSheff Wed Tue 24 Feb 3 Sheff WedvMiddlesb Sat 28 Feb 0 Sheff WedvBlackburn Wed 4 Mar 3 BlackpoolvSheff Wed Sat 7 Mar 0 Sheff WedvFulham Sat 14 Mar 3 WolvesvSheff Wed Tue 17 Mar 3 RotherhamvSheff Wed Sat 21 Mar 3 Sheff WedvHuddersfield Sat 4 Apr 3 NorwichvSheff Wed Mon 6 Apr 0 Sheff WedvCharlton Sat 11 Apr 1 Sheff WedvBrentford Tue 14 Apr 1 BournemouthvSheff Wed Sat 18 Apr 0 Sheff WedvLeeds Sat 25 Apr 3 WatfordvSheff Wed Sat 2 May 3 Total points 34 = 71 by the end of the season.

Jim Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Don't know why but I'm convinced we'll beat Derby away and our record at home against both Brighton and Middlesborough are good so i don't see us losing either of those games but I personally think we'll get between 60-65 points which should see us finish in the top half of the table which is a good season for me.

Guest Mancunian_Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Lose to Blackpool at their ground, I can see that all day. Its the Wednesday way. We have to beat those around us including Wolves and Watford. Last game of the season we need to win, I can see us doing it against Watford to secure the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think we'll end up with 60+, maybe 65 topps. id be happy with that as long as we improved once again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl999 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 60 points to play for, new investment and the fact we've a top top Manager / Head Coach, why not ? I honestly don't think Ipswich, Bounemouth and Brentoford will be pushing for Automatic the wheels will fall off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richowl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 we don't score or win at home so they vast majority of points will have to come from the away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) 4 points separating the top 6 indicates to me that the 6th place team may well have close to 80 points this season if they all keep up the form they're in. You can't say who will get the two automatic spots because they are all so similar. I think it's unfortunate that there aren't just 3-4 run away teams opening up the last 2 play off spots.

wednesdaywizard Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Are people going to go all self-stabby if we don't make the playoffs? Let's just enjoy being comfortable in the league we're in for once. Anything else is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think people are already forgetting we'll likely be off the pace for the playoffs, and safe from relegation, so we'll drop quite a few points we shouldnt No doubt they will be screaming and shouting about how SG isnt up to the job and how MM is a tight fisted old lilywrinkle l, whilst forgetting we coasted past our targets 2-months prior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mancunian_Owl Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think people are already forgetting we'll likely be off the pace for the playoffs, and safe from relegation, so we'll drop quite a few points we shouldnt No doubt they will be screaming and shouting about how SG isnt up to the job and how MM is a tight fisted old lilywrinkle l, whilst forgetting we coasted past our targets 2-months prior I've said before I'm not that incredibly fussed about getting into Prem, we are competitive in this league and have had a good 13-14 months under Gray. If we are mid table Championship for the next couple of seasons I dont have a massive problem with this. However we should always be looking up and seeing how far we as a club can get up the ladder with our resources. The question is will we kick on and have a better second half to the season, or will we continue as we are (because I think the squad will perform at least to its current rate for the rest of the year). Either way I'm happy, but of course I'd love some playoff games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
