6 points should see us home ?

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

All the teams below us still have 18 points to play for. I won't be happy until we're mathematically safe. We could easily lose the next three games. We need to beat Huddersfield and Rotherham and hope that Burnley have absolutely nothing to play for.

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

The best thing is that for a while it looked like it might be three from four to go down, now, with things looking so bleak for Wigan and Blackpool, we’re in a position where it’s getting towards being one in five to go down - I’d still like to get to fifty points to be on the safe side, but, realistically, forty eight should be enough especially if we can keep our goal difference around what it is now.

I thought about 6 weeks ago 48 would be just about right

I got some stick but I think 6 points , however we get them will get us over the line

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

Sunderland on Monday game could well be a game for nothing.

It won't happen but this is how it could go:

Rotherham are way at Norwich who are on a run and are on the fringe of the top six;
Huddersfield have Blackburn at home; somehow Blackburn are still 6th with a game in hand so plenty to be serious about;
QPR can't win an argument at the moment and go to WBA who, surprisingly, are just 5 points off the top 6 with a game in hand;
Reading, now in serious trouble, must go to Deepdale where Preston are in 8th - 2 points off 6th place;
Blackpool must go to Luton where they can expect a spanking from the Hatters who are 3rd and in great form;
Wigan entertain the Swans, are bottom of the pile and have the biggest goals against record in the division.

City, who must feel pretty good after scoring 3 away goals, entertain Sunderland who are 11th with just one win in the last 5; the Mackems also drew at home yesterday conceding the leveler from a last minute penalty which must have extinguished any lingering hopes of the play-offs. But if City should lose, not many of those around them will pick up points.

You made out you came up with the number yourself, a quick Google shows the average points to stay up in the division is 47... You didn't come up with it yourself, which is what you got stuck for. Along with changing your mind to every other number between 40 and 50 to hedge your bets and look like you've got a clue about football.

A point will be great on Monday, a win fantastic

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

Yup…doesn’t really matter what league. In 1988 3000 of us went to Burnley going from div 4 to div 3, in 2013 1500 went when we were promoted to the sunshine league…..who cares eh?

I was at both.
Although I always felt that there was much more than 1500 there the day we went up. Pretty sure there was about 30 coaches in the convoy for a start

Never sure where that figure came from as I’d only ever seen it mentioned somewhere where there was an agenda.

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

Still plenty of twists and there’s to come. Who’s have predicted Huddersfield would be out of the bottom 3 a few days ago when they were 1-0 down at Boro with promotion chasing Watford next up ?

Just need to get as many points as quickly as possible. At least yesterday showed the players are up for the fight

Lots of people. Because Warnock has an excellent track record of keeping teams up.

I didn’t see those predictions. Many might have said he’ll keep them up, but not many would have said they’d come back to beat Boro and then defeat Watford on their own patch

I think avoiding defeat at Rotherham and beating Huddersfield at home is essential.

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

Agree with that Tim. IMO it hangs on the games against Rotherham and Huddersfield for us.

Plenty on here were slagging off warnock and were hoping he would screw up and even predicting it with glee

I hope they lose every game till the end of the season or someone else does

Beating 2 out of Stoke Watford or Sunderland would do it.

Re: 6 points should see us home ?

Ironically, both the Huddersfield and Rotherham games could be dead rubbers for both those sides by the time we play them.
