3 less STs here next year already. I might get a match package and pick and choose my games, regardless of which league were in.We need to buck a trend for sure.
This is why I feel ST sales will drop next year. Be some who will say we can build on this season, but so many more who will be expecting midtable at best next season.
We need to make sure we are indeed competitive, but I think fans are getting tired of failure and are used to City not making a fist of things.
Another unguessable chunk of ST holders might decide they don't wish to throw good money after bad watching mediocrity too...regardless of pricesThat depends on a few factors.
Eg pricing, what many 100s or 1000s moan about.
Maddison is guaranteed to go.
Thats a game changer even if we get a fraction of the 15/20% of Maddison money.
Also, our best player arguably one of the best in league is back.
I agree Bayliss will be gone. But that will be it. And again a fraction of his money will be re invested.
We havnt sold anyone of importance in 3 transfer windows, so we will be stronger.
If we stick with continuity. The players and manager will know the league better.
I would even say that if we don't get at least 1 win from the next 2 games a number of people with ST won't be turning up for the remaining home games this season.Another unguessable chunk of ST holders might decide they don't wish to throw good money after bad watching mediocrity too...regardless of prices

Because they aren't sat back playing for draws. Simple really.
That tells him then to stop playing for draws away from home.Wiki shows MR has managed ccfc for 86 games in 2 spells.
We have drawn 13. He’s pretty sh1t at playing for draws.
Wins on the other hand, 42

That win ratio over the next 14 games won't get us promoted. We need to win 10 I would say to make sure we are in the play offs, a big ask.or that he has a very good win ratio and he isn't playing for draws?

Like subs on the 89th minute.OR people could watch games and the way he sets up and how he reacts even when we are behind
Actually, the average amount of points to qualify for the playoffs over the last 16 seasons is 70 pts. The lowest being 63 and the highest being 74. In fact the stats suggest that 10 wins could edge us into the 3rd spot for the autos. With 80 pts being the average over the same period. With the highest being 85 and the lowest being 74.That win ratio over the next 14 games won't get us promoted. We need to win 10 I would say to make sure we are in the play offs, a big ask.
Comparing previous seasons provides a guide that might be useful at the start of the season but this far into the season a better guide is to see the average points per game the current 3rd & 7th placed teams have & transpose it to a 46 game season. Doing this indicates that this season the points required are going to be much higher than in an average season, with 86 for 3rd & 77 for 7th, Even if one of the current Top 7 slip up, Lincoln in 8th are currently heading for 74 points at their current average points per game so it looks like a bigger ask than some of us are expecting. Still not impossible but we really need something out of these next 2 games, more so in that we really can't afford 2 of our rivals to get an even bigger lead on us than they already have.Actually, the average amount of points to qualify for the playoffs over the last 16 seasons is 70 pts.

7 wins should do it for playoffs and we could achieve that without improving our away record. Even losing the next 2 games isn’t the end of the world, there is still 7 winnable games in the other fixtures plus a couple of draws.
Anything from the next 2 is a bonus in my eyes.
This is the league table from last season after 33/34 games.Comparing previous seasons provides a guide that might be useful at the start of the season but this far into the season a better guide is to see the average points per game the current 3rd & 7th placed teams have & transpose it to a 46 game season.

That last table actually is incorrect and doesn't include the Exeter win from Tuesday.
It's only the Exeter points that really make a difference. Notts County also played, but lost.Kind of disoroves your argument then.

Just add 3 points on for Exeter. Should be easy for someone with your high intellect.
Ahh, right. Yep. Definite anomaly. Can be done, but very rare.No I’m referring to the fact a team 15th got promoted.

Previous website hadn't updated their tables. This is the correct one courtesy of the BBC.
That is not really true, there is a lot of potential support which turns up in the right circumstances.Size of Cov means fook all, otherwise we’d be in the premier league!
They lost in the play off semi finals the year before and started last season very badly but in the end they finished 5 points off the play offs after a 15 game unbeaten run. They've carried that form and momentum on into this year.You have to say, fair play to Accrington. Right down there last year, now flying high and playing decent football.

Always said we can still make the play-offs. We just need to buck the current trend and that of many previous City seasons too.

Agreed, of course teams will swap positions & there are no definites, Some teams will rise and some will drop like Blackpool & Carlisle did last season, but the average points calculation is a better guide than most. It certainly was last season - the table Otis put up showed Stevenage in 7th on 52 points off 34 games, which transposes to 70 points over 46 games, which is exactly what Blackpool ended up with when they finished in 7th place. The way the league is this season I don't see 72 points being enough. If we carry on as we have been this season our average works out at 72 over a whole season, so if 72 is enough we don't have to improve on our season so far to make the play offs, so happy daysIf everyone continues their season average the league table will remain identical at the end. It won't.
