Beat the drop (1 Viewer)

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 28, 2021

We've analysed the Championship since the 1995-96 season to see how many points are required - on average - to secure survival:

An average of around 47 points has been enough to survive the drop in the Championship, but the magic number has varied significantly over the years. Just 40 points would have beaten the drop (with a superior goal difference) in both 2011-12 and 2015-16, whilst 54 points were not enough to keep Peterborough up in 2012-13.

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 28, 2021

If we go on the average we need at least 4 wins or 3 wins and 3 draws.

For me 4 wins and 3 draws should do it. Although 5 wins would be ideal.

letsallsingtogether · Feb 28, 2021

I believe we will get 5 wins..
Starting on Tuesday.

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 28, 2021

Based on the average above, SW and Rotherham would need 6-7 wins.

AFCCOVENTRY · Feb 28, 2021

I can’t see Rotherham and SW getting more than 15pts in the remaining fixtures.

HuckerbyDublinWhelan · Feb 28, 2021

Sheffield weds have won 9 in 32 they’re not all of a sudden going to win 7 in 14 especially when they have to play 7 of the top 9

Same with Rotherham. If we hit 50 points that’ll keep us safe.

Evo1883 · Feb 28, 2021

Based on the season so far, you'd imagine we will get around 3 wins 4 draws 6 defeats

Which will be 13 points from 13 matches

48 points

Football doesn't work that way, so I still think we will get 5 wins

Apparently we’ve got all the hard games out the way now should be easy work from here on in

Agreed our run in looks favourable next 5 games are crucial tho to that

I changed it to most, basically we only have to play Bournemouth and in form Barnsley that make you worry

covcity4life · Feb 28, 2021

I really want to be in the championship next year and playing st Ricoh!

League 1 been there done that, won the title

Evo1883 · Feb 28, 2021

Godden scores important goals, he will do the same over the last 10 games

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 1, 2021

Bit of a curve ball with Sheff Weds appointing Darren Moore.

If we can get him sharp in that time

SW have just appointed Darren Moore as manager. Very highly rated....
He's gone from Donny, in a great position to go up from Lg1, to Wednesday, he must be a very confident man...

plus size of the club. It's still a basket case of a club in terms of the owner and his decision making.

Mr Panda · Mar 1, 2021

Our game with Rotherham is a big one a week on Saturday, in the short time between now and that fixture we're playing two and Rotherham are playing catchup and have an extra game. I think we should be absolutely going for it when we play them

covcity4life · Mar 1, 2021

Darren Moore done well at won by and West Brom fans I know liked him. Any other circumstance I would root for him

They may get a bump this time round. Worrying

he’s a lunatic.

Mr Panda · Mar 1, 2021

I feel like just now is the first time I've properly taken a look at the full table in a while, I only tend to look at 12th and downwards, almost feels like 2 leagues in 1 for me. Can't believe how far Bournemouth have dropped from being a top 3 team!

Evo1883 · Mar 1, 2021

Moore is a half decent manager tbh... Could go either way really, although I expect them to play better football for starters

In what way Barnsley?... likely to inspire the Wednesday lot... or piss them off to be even more dire??....

in the fact he gone to that club, they’re a basket case club. He must be on a good wedge.

Ccfcisparks · Mar 1, 2021

48 Points will be enough imo

Yeah, just said similar on the other thread. I get they're a massive club & the chance at turning them around would be a huge draw but just not sure long term success is achievable with their current ownership.

Another 13 points from 15 games we need to be picking up points in the next 5 games

Mcbean · Mar 1, 2021

Nothing will stop the squeaky bum time - we still have to win the key games - we are notoriously bad at doing that however we can surprise someone !

Home form will be ok on that shit pitch high press teams into mistakes like Brentford

Less than a point a game is less than what we have been averaging all year

Have you forgotten who we are. We are Coventry (make easy things look hard) City

Basically do what we did last time but even better and with a different front 2 as they would have analysed Max Walker thoroughly so how about we play Baka Gyo because according to many on here they have 0 talent and imo that should work in our favour as they will get conplacent and they will both score a hat trick

We should be aiming for 74 points to try and get play offs, its still possible!!!

Liquid Gold · Mar 1, 2021

You'd think we'd get our traditional 3 points against Wycombe, then if we can turn over Huddersfield, Rotherham and Derby it nearly doesn't matter what else happens.

TwistAndShoutCCFC1987 · Mar 1, 2021

We have a favourable run of games in March. We need to pick up points while we can and we’ll see where we end up , the team have to focus on their own performances and pick up points themselves rather than relying on other results
