keepitsteel89 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 if we have the kind of late run we had in CC's second season..we could scrape in. A point away at Derby dosnt take us out the race, a loss would have, thats how fine things stand and will stand for the rest of the season, we need to win all our home games and get 3 points away to lower table teams. Hope Bruce can change our luck in that department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be as low as 67-68 points. If so, we are MUCH closer to the PO line. Wins against Bolton and Blackburn and we would be touching the likely 18/19 PO line. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby on 55 now, but you're right you'd expect the 6th placed team to be closer to 60 points at this stage. That suggests a relatively low PO line this year, barring a good run by one of the chasing pack. We'd need 20+ points from the last 10, even considering a low bar. We've taken 17 from the last 10, so its not out of the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanSWFC Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Often this season the graph has given us some cause for optimism during the difficult moments. But after tonight's win I think it shows that we still have a lot of work to do. Only 3 points off the playoffs but the teams around us (and there are a lot of them) all have 1-2 games in hand. We'll probably need around 21 points from the possible 27 remaining, so 7ish wins out of our last 9. Bearing mind we have trips to Leeds and Norwich to come it is pretty unlikely. But not impossible. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a difficult sell to say its unlikely when it's currently only 3 points. I think the play off target will be lower than normal because of the very fact we are so bunched. I think 70/1pts will make it. The key is how we perform in the 3 April home games for me. Love this thread though Ryan and thanks for keeping it going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howards back Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Teams are taking points of each other. Teams above us have to play each other, the only thing we can do is keep winning. Any team in the top 14 who can string 5 wins together could see themselves in playoff place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Daz Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 5 times in the last decade 7th spot has been around the 68 - 71 pts margin. Be just our luck it's around the 14/15 season mark of 78 pts. Can't see that as this seasons marker though, think it'll be around the 12/13 season mark of 68 pts or less. Just need to plough on and better last seasons 9 game finish with 19 pts. That'll put us on a 71 pt finish or above. Not giving up just yet. COME ON WEDNESDAY !!!

As others are saying Ryan it does look very likely that 69/70 is this year’s 6th place target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly looks that why. 6 wins from 9 needed minimum. With 5 home games still to come too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WL_Owl_JC Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 We're on 55 points. During both playoff seasons we were on 62 points at this stage. A win at Stoke and this all gets very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RyanSWFC Posted March 16, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2019 Update after Blackburn. 5 points from the playoff dotted line, which is exactly where we will be assuming Bristol City win their two games in hand (or 4 points off the playoffs if Derby win their game in hand). So it is looking like the points total needed for getting in the top 6 is on course for being around the usual average of 73.2 this season, meaning we will probably need around 18 points from our remaining 8 fixtures to sneak in. Tough ask really with tough fixtures to come. 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
