Ipswich need 2.17 PPG for the rest of the season to hit 87 points

Middlesbrough need 2.07 PPG for the rest of the season to hit 87 points

Coventry need 1.66 PPG

Would be poetic if we got promoted on that number.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

85 so 14 from 28

I think we will get more than that if im honest il guess at 93

14 home fixtures left?...

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Opta have us at 90% chance of the title and 97% chance of promotion

 

[Flying Fokker]

Points deduction too

Sorry, have I missed something? Is there a points deduction coming their way.?

Mad

 

[Robinshio]

win one lose one every 2 games from now and we hit 85
I think that is enough

 

[TomRad85]

When I talk about teams in the same division in a massively simplistic good, average or shit kind of why I'm usually using us as the comparison. On that basis i don't think we have rivals, they are all fucking shite.

even that is incorrect, we need 44 points in 28 games which is 1.57 !!

 

[clint van damme]

Need to change the thread title to rivals for top spot, and there aren't any.

I'm not getting cocky or ahead of myself, we might massively screw up. But at the moment, we're out on our own.

Yeah I did think that. It's more about title now although let's wait till Christmas so we don't tempt fate

I think the only thing that can screw us now is injuries.
And they are starting your be a bit of a worry.

I mean it's expected. Worst comes to worst ill add them back in if they have a resurgence but I doubt it.

Get that but soon it’s really just BTA out of the side, and as I said elsewhere, other teams near us are going to get injuries too.

Just over a month till the cavalry arrives in January too.

Possibly Rudi if rumours are correct and EMC limped off.
Also, if the calvary arrives mid January that's quite a chunk of games away.

I am playing devil's advocate a bit here and presenting an overly pessimistic viewpoint!

Yes Rudoni injury again would be a worry.

Next game we would probably line up in a back 5 if so

Which has served us well under Lampard when needed

I said in another thread if saka and emc only wide options I could see us switch to 3 at back in second halfs to give them rest.

EMC ran himself into the ground, Rudoni didn’t look injured. But yes that would be unfortunate.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Love it when this thread is bumped. It shows how well we’re doing and makes me happy.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Frank looked liked someone pissed on his chips in the post match with Gurney.

I mean, fair enough, but we have just won 11 in 12 so wonder if theres anything in these twitter virgins and their Rudi stories?

 

[Otis]

Let's say 93 points for automatic promotion.

28 games left - 50 points to get

Win 14, draw 8. That would give us the 50 points. That would mean we could lose as many as 8 games.

It does look all so rosy

The only thing that can kill is now is injuries.

The January transfer window is so important to us this season.

Losing Rudi for this tough run of fixtures is a worry but with 343 or 352 you would hope we still have enough to win 3-4 games over that period which would keep us top

Will it need 93? What are 3rd place tracking for currently?

I was just overestimating. Trying to point out that even if overestimating, it's so doable

I get ya

Btw looks like 3rd place currently on track for 82 points?

79.2 with negative gd

 

[Gleneagles65]

No one.

 

[covcity4life]

79.2 with negative gd

13 wins could be enough then! From 29 games

We are prob on for 90 plus points right now.

It's looking good

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Can we put Wrexham on this list. On a great run.

No

Two teams other than us are not going to get close to 93 ffs. They’d need to be absolutely smashing it for the last 28 games.

Everyone shitting their pants about Ipswich (11 in 6 or 17 in 10) - they need to be doing miles better than that to get anywhere close.
