Yep the only one I don't see us getting 6 from, even if we just beat Forest and lost the rest would still be on track though.

Surprisingly our odds to get relegated have fallen from 6/1 to 8/1 after that game.

There's 3 or 4 teams in dire form below us that makes sense for us to drift a bit

Our run in is favourible though overall

Our last 11 I believe we only play 1 top 6 side

Yes absolutely even worst case scenario we are in the bottom 3 we have the potential to get a real run going at the end of the season. Where do you think we will end up Evo?

If we can get 6 points from the next 5 I’ll be over the moon.

It would be good if we're not going into the last 4/5 games in big danger. This gap with 5 games left would be magic.

Not just the gap is important but the number of teams between us and the drop.

17th-19th

Personally, I think we will get a couple of unexpected points in February

As Evo points out, just needs to be 5 every 5 from now on to hit 50.

50’guarantees us I think. Think 46 will be enough this year.

Think 50 has only not been enough once?

Could be an interesting month, we seem to have found a shape that suits us, and have Rose, McFadzean, Maroši, and Walker to return in the next game or two. I wouldn’t write it off yet. 6 points would be an excellent effort.

I have to say relegation analysis was about my best skill and main interest ("sado") , lots of practice etc in the what's becoming now the distant past! !
Not looked that deeply yet on what we might need this season.
30 from 26 games seems a pretty good base to stay up and not overly worried. Obviously Improving our goal scoring threat would help enormously. I think though we will improve as the season goes on ( I hope I'm NOT terribly wrong)

So when all is said and done, a point a game gets us to 50. Easier said than done of course!

I'd back us to win at least one of the home games, Stoke we could hopefully get a point depending how they approach it. Still not there yet but with Rotherham's games in hand away at Brentford and Luton, we might not even need 50.

Think we're probably best off with Blackburn winning that.
