I have a feeling Viveash is going to treat this as an away game and let us attack them. 5 at the back, 4 in midfield and one up top.

Last season we achieved 54 points from this point onwards and that included 10 defeats. Admittedly that included another 9 out of 10 winning run, but also a very indifferent finish to the season. is there anyone who wouldn’t take the same if offered now?

Interestingly, 17 points from each block of 10 moving forward would be highly likely to achieve top 2.

I suspect that’s more likely to be the case by our home game on 29th December. There is also a small possibility of another one v Bristol City!

Andy Turner’s update said he has been in full training for a week and is available for selection. Mason-Clark is also available.

Based on a 3k reduction in ticket sales it would actually represent a 55k loss (assuming full adult ticket price). Doug only profits if the drop off is less than circa 1800 ticket sales.

Yes, we won't win on Saturday :ROFLMAO: Seriously though, the curse was broken by the Wrexham defeat, that was the last day of October, but counted as a November fixture.

Enough time to help them beat Stoke twice 🤣

They have 30 other games to play. Given they won’t be catching us it’s probably in our interests for him to do well.

It's based on earnings from playing in the Premier league, so it would be the same. It just rides on a single game rather than the position at the end of the season.

Banned from watching Portsmouth. I thought they were receiving punishment for their behaviour 🤣

Correct! Without the fullbacks and Sakamoto we must have some giants. Tallest Championship Teams (2025/26) Rank Team Approx. Avg Height 1️⃣ Coventry City 185 cm (6'1") 2️⃣ Millwall 185 cm (6'1") 3️⃣ Stoke City 184.8 cm (6'0.8") 4️⃣ Middlesbrough 184.5 cm (6'0.7") 5️⃣ Bristol City 184.3 cm (6'0.6")

Thos season is tracking very closely to that 21/22 season and I think 90 points could be an overestimate of the points required for top 2. I actually think 85 points will do it.

On current PPG our forecast points are now 21 points ahead of 3rd place and 28 points ahead of Ipswich. For further context current PPG would see us 40 points ahead of Birmingham, Leicester, Wrexham and West Brom. Every other team in the division requires at least 2 PPG to make 90 points v our...

That’s probable, but I’m not sure I’m that comfortable with moving away from the model that’s been successful so far.

Both are unrealistic models for us to follow (£165m spent by Sunderland?). We’re going do have to bring in a a lot of players with potential to supplement our existing squad and hope it clicks well enough to get 4th from bottom.

If our target is two points per game then we need 16 points from those 11 to stay on track, with possibly easier games to come after. 5 wins and a draw would seem to be achievable. Would we really be expecting 5 defeats though?

Yes that would be amazing, though a draw away and a home win would be significant too.

They probably need to beat us twice just to close the gap. There are lots of examples of teams doing the double but finishing below that team (Derby last season?).

We now need roughly 18 points from every 10 games to make 90 points, which I believe will secure top 2. Even in your most pessimistic moment do you see us achieving less than that?
