Out of the 4 remaining home games i see the Doncaster game as the one we will drop points, not sure why :thinking about:

This is true but making assumptions about points we may or may not get does make you a bit of an arse.

This league is so open, its possible to win every game so why not write 3 points after each?

Factually incorrect. You mean 'assume' not assuming ... especially since there is no 'e' in assuming

realistically we should get 6 or 8 more points ... 5 draws and a win ... maybe 2 wins and a draw.or two...

i am convinced donny will pass us, the impetus is with them at the moment and they are capable. portsmouth are finished... bristol city ... us and portsmouth will be bottom 3

I make that 30 points, but I don't think we'll make the play-offs - perhaps next season.

It's not an assumption, it's a prediction.


I said 11 or 12 points and am sticking with that.

But presumption is made on the basis of calculated evidence, thus a prediction is presumptive of said 'facts'?

Too late to be getting into this. Let's just say......if you don't like it, don't read it. It's a bit of fun at best, no-one actually believes they are the messiah and can accurately foresee what is going to happen. It's a shame because we could all make a shit load of money from it.

15 points would be enough. I am pretty certain of that.


At least, that's what I predict anyway.




Wouldn't just wish to assume anything though.

I'm still saying 4 home wins is an almost impossible task.

Not even Southampton would expect to win 4 straight home games. They would be very confident for sure, but any team in the entire football league would tell you that even 3 wins and a draw out of 4 games would be fantasic.

Just cannot see us winning all 4. 2 wins and 2 draws would be excellent I think.

I understand your point but it is not often that the fixtures give you 4 of the bottom 6/7 teams in a row. I think we will need 10 points from the remaining H fixtures which is doable.

Also Southampton won 21 home fixtures in a row so 4 is childs play to them.

I think it's worse that we are playing teams at the bottom. Will have a lot more fight in their bellies than the likes of Barnsley who just decided not to try and score and go for the draw.

I would rather we were playing midtable teams than ones who are fighting for their lives.

And that Southampton figure is a historical one. Not on a current run of 21 wins are they. They lost at home to Bristol.

Can we just wait and see what we get instead of making post after post on how many points we are going to get.
