Difficult to judge. I think 52 should see us safe. Teams may yet get points deductions for irregularities. All we can do is amass as many points as possible so that on final day we are not looking over our shoulders and can relax a little
62 wont be far off 7th place.
Staying up this season is meeting realistic expectations at any point in the season. Being hampered by injuries could be factored in, but its not an overachievement if we stay up.
I disagree and optimistic thoughts from 90%’of our fans doesn’t change what I think is a factStaying up this season is meeting realistic expectations at any point in the season. Being hampered by injuries could be factored in, but its not an overachievement if we stay up.

Wednesday symptomatic of the mismanagement of clubs in the Championship. Spending money they don't have. think last published wage bill was 42m against 23m income for a team that's spent last 4/5 years mid-table at best.Wednesday’s team last night much more expensively assembled but plain dogshit despite us missing over half a team!

Championship clubs still spending based on what the top end Championship clubs are spending (which is normally financed by parachute payments rather than Championship income).
Plenty of scope. Just don't fall into the trap of paying ex-PL players.23m still trebles our income, makes me wonder what we could do on the same money
Really wouldn't surprise me if somebody got docked points ala Derby.
Can’t see him in a flat 4 his positional awareness has been a bit iratic...I think we go back to a 5 Saturday with fadz coming back in,drop sheaf put Allen alongside O’Hare behind GYO

Way too many ordinary players on low end PL money based on historical wages rather than performance.
Matty James is a great example. Apparently on around 30k at Leicester so even with a pay cut into the Championship still an expensive option for a Championship side managing even a decent income.This is the potential argument against looking to bring in James permanently. He's probably on a decent wedge at the moment and might not want to take that much of a massive drop, esp if he does well here as he'll be in demand.
We're even unable to consider the likes of Walsh because of the wages and he's inexperienced at this level.

If we look closely at the table at the moment.
12th Barnsley to Wycombe at bottom.
Not done the maths but we would probably finish top of the bottom half in terms of results and points picked up.
Our results vs top 11 is pretty dire. I think 5 points.
Vs bottom 13....24 points in 13/14 games. Pretty phenomenal.
If he reads this forum He won’t want to stay after his first mistake.With respect to James, he either takes a significant drop or he never finds a club again. Realistically given that he hasn't played a full season in probably the best part of 5/6 years, what club is going to willingly offer him the same salary he's currently on at Leicester.
Even if he does well here I suspect he'll still have to take a significant drop as given the precarious nature of club finances at the minute he'll be seen as too much of a risk.
The average wage for a Championship player last year was 29k. He may well get near that if he has a good second half of the season. Just shows how well we have done with our highest paid player rumoured to be O'Hare on 10k.Matty James is a great example. Apparently on around 30k at Leicester so even with a pay cut into the Championship still an expensive option for a Championship side managing even a decent income.
Matty James knows his time on around 30k a week if that’s what he gets are over, if Callum O’Hare is on 10k a week , i doubt that actually I would think James will get a comparable deal as would some others. After this pandemic and bcd it’s going to be interesting to see what the average championship wage will be I’m sure the highest payers will have to tighten their belts quiet a bit as clubs will. We can operate from the other way that could be an advantage. But our best players will I’m sure expect to be nearer our top earners we have to be competitive if for example Hamer is a multi-million valued player we have to match his wage to that value.The average wage for a Championship player last year was 29k.

Highlights the ridiculousness of Championship finances. latest published figures had wage bills at 107% of income. Parachute payments remain an issue - creating basically a sub group between top of Championship and bottom of PL with certain clubs yo-yoing between the divisions. Villa's wage bill for the season they went up was 95m.The average wage for a Championship player last year was 29k. He may well get near that if he has a good second half of the season.

Where we are at the moment, we don't need to worry about individual teams below us going on a good run and picking up points. There are plenty of teams around us, or catchable who will hit a bad patch. Look at Cardiff, 1 point in the last 5 games, Huddersfield 3 points in the last 5 games, Birmingham & Barnsley both 4 points in the last 5 games. As long as we keep steadily picking up points, losses against the top table teams don't matter too much.
The impact of Covid restrictions on clubs is going to suppress wages in the EFL for numerous clubs. Additionally, some players out of contract this summer previously on large salaries will need to be careful with their wage expectations, as they might find themselves unemployed.Mowatt I'd guess - Rumoured to be around £6,500 p/w.
Barnsley are very coy with financials & are known to be one of the lowest payers in the Championship.
Of course overall their squad is paid quite a bit more than ours though.
Does anyone reckon that that average wage is massively inflated by those teams that have come down from the Prem and still got those level of wages on their books.
The average wage there is 60k pw (which itself will be inflated by some on 150-200k+ a week) but even if you've got most of your squad on say 30k a week that could distort the figures significantly if you've got half a dozen clubs in that boat. Plus with their parachute payments they'll probably pay above average even on new signings in an attempt to go back up.
I read somewhere Stoke have 9players on over £50k a week, crazyDoes anyone reckon that that average wage is massively inflated by those teams that have come down from the Prem and still got those level of wages on their books.
