Two teams other than us are not going to get close to 93 ffs. They’d need to be absolutely smashing it for the last 28 games.

Everyone shitting their pants about Ipswich (11 in 6 or 17 in 10) - they need to be doing miles better than that to get anywhere close.
13 really could be enough then. That's not even half of our remaining games

Ipswich would need to be getting 2.2ppg to get to 91. Can't see that
I agree. I'm just pointing out that if anybody reaches that number it will probably be them.

The autos threshold will start with an 8, I'm convinced of it. I genuinely think it could be 85 so 1.5 ppg for us. We're averaging over 2 over the last 47 years. As I said on another thread, if it doesn't happen I will have to find a new hobby as I just don't think I could take anymore after Dabo, Torp and then not going up this season.

I think those saying 87 could be about right.

I think it's going to be tight for 2nd between Ipswich and Southampton, but both still a good way behind us, get the 2 Ipswich games and the Southampton game out of the way and see where we sit with them both in January

southampton need 2.25 points per game
currently on 1.33 - never in a million years

From what Ive seen and where the teams are in the league, Middlesbrough are our biggest rivals

2 ppg over the last 47 years? That's what you call consistency.

1st Coventry LOST 43pts
------------------------------------
2nd Middlesbrough WON 36pts
_____________________________
Ipswich WON 30 pts
Stoke LOST 30pts
Southampton WON 27 pts

7pt gap to second
9pt gap to 3rd

3/4 won :( Not a nice feeling to have to do a post this week but important to remember our great form means we shouldn't panic and can afford to relax with the odd defeat

Bouncing back is the most important thing because Ipswich and Southampton are starting to turn on the after burners form wise

4 PTS would be good from next 2 but 6 gets us completely on track and back in Dreamland.

Frustrating week,but those chasing will have those sorts of weeks and drop points when we dont.

Ipswich will 100% get second.. not through performance but literally with squad depth.. being able to bring on Clarke etc.. while we are throwing on Allen and Andrews

Yup it's hard to take now but other teams have had alot more of these weekends than we have!

Doesn't stop me worrying about Preston mind you. Although it's prob good we have a game quickly to set things right and beating the deepdale voodoo will have us buzzing with confidence again

This month was always a case of getting through. If we can get 7-9 points its a decent month.

Once the Birmingham game is out of the way if we have 50 plus points we should still be in a good condition going into the 2nd half of the season
