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

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

91 is usually the second place total. 48 points to go. Works out roughly 1.71 PPG

I never thought I'd be sitting here in November 99 percent sure we are now a premier League team! But here I am

That's more like it.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

we need 45 points from the remaining games - any combo to get them

Who else is getting anywhere near 91 other than possibly Ipswich (and us)?

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.

And rising if they don't beat us Saturday

45 from 28 games

I think those saying 87 could be about right.

 

[Macca1987]

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

 

[Robinshio]

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.

Southampton and Ipswich have the ability to go on a similar run to us

 

[Ccfcisparks]

To get that points per game theyd have to go on a better run than us for 28 games. Cant see it.

I’m still getting used to being where we are. There’s always “it’s Coventry city init” in the back of my mind

looking at my target it’s 14 wins and 6 draws from 28 - we should get that
