jockolad Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 One more point than the third place team will do me. Or is it 'one point more', suddenly realised that I have left myself open to ridicule from the grammar police. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdiwonderland Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 If we finish ahead of the current third placed team, dont we finish 3rd? Im confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARMYARMY2010 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not really a "must" 26 to 27 is usually enough to get top 2, 2013 cardiff went up with 25 wins 12 draws. (1st) 2014 burnley went up with 26 wins 15 draws (in 2nd) 2015 watford went up with 27 wins 8 draws (in 2nd) 2016 burnley and middleboro with 26 wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls_fan_since_1983 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 First finshing above Leeds, Barnsley and our neighbours Sheffield United is a must. I will say we need to win all 46 games to stand a chance of finishing in the top two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 88 points or more would get top 2 IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (edited) When do teams ever win 30 matches? 90 points has to be the target but 27 wins and 9 draws will do that by my maths. Edited June 21, 2017 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramone Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Love the 'We've got to do this' threads and then, when push comes to shove and you actually do a bit of maths, its turns out that actually we dont at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1948 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 It's going to be so tight this year that it's quite possible that mid 80s will be good enough for automatic and high 70s for sixth place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 What I want to see at the end of this window, is a Wednesday squad that is expected to claim one of the two automatic places We don't have that now, and we didn't have it last year. This window is all about turning us from possible candidates, into probable candidates. We aren't far off, and we don't need too much, but those additions have to be the right additions Of course you cannot guarantee an automatic place, but last year, Newcastle and Brighton must have thought, with hard work, and a bit of luck, we have the players to do this. Us, Huddersfield, Fulham and Reading may have thought it was possible, but Newcastle and Brighton were better equipped That has to be us this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Not even kicked a ball and the BBC's Championship table has us in the bottom three. Not a great start to the season. Typical BBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us, Huddersfield, Fulham and Reading may have thought it was possible, but Newcastle and Brighton were better equipped That has to be us this season I agree entirely with your sentiments and the no guarantees part in particular. I don't think that any team can look at themselves at the outset and think we are pretty much there let alone us. We have a great chairman and an excellent coach/manager but even so we have to compete with at least 9 with 40million plus parachute payments and a raft of teams like us who are going for it. Wolves, Cardiff, Leeds, Derby, etc so that's at least 15 teams who on day one will think that they are there, or there abouts. 12 of those will be disappointed. This league is about bottle and application as much as footballing prowess. You have to win the battle before you can play. Every team in this league knows that so often the battle isn't won by either side. Consequence: boring safety first football. Fulham for all their goal scoring finished sixth as did we the previous season when we played adventurous football. just don't expect miracles that's all.

Stoop Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Boro got 2nd place with 87 points the other year, only 6 more than our total for last season, we aren't that far away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
