If we win every game, we can get 72 points so I'm booking my Wembley accommodation tonight

Re: 50 Points for Safety

Where do people think we will pick up the 14 points estimated as required to ensure safety, from our remaining games?

More to the point, does anyone think Plymouth can win 20 points from their last 12 games?

Doubt it but they are in a bit of form, and have only lost one in the last six and have a good run of winnable games coming up.

Luton, Derby, and one of Hull, Stoke, Oxford and Plymouth are going down.

Horvath, Fish, Mannsverk, Bagan, Salech, Alves, Ashford, Ramsey, Davies added to what we've had will improve us in the run in.

Oxford are 8 points clear of relegation and 2 ahead of us. They'll be fine.

It's natural when teams at the bottom suddenly have a few good results that some will think they'll keep that going. The reason they're down the bottom is that they haven't been able to.

In any case, if Plymouth did go on a great run and survived, good luck to them, they'll have earned it. We're in charge of our own destiny, they're in charge of theirs

Re: 50 Points for Safety

It wouldn't be the Cardiff city way if one or more of the bottom 3 didn't suddenly pick up a few wins in a short period. Likes of Pompey and Oxford have previously managed it.

It's going to the last couple of matches I think. I'm just hoping we can get an away win or two somewhere improbable as it seems unlikely we will be able to do it all against our rivals.

That's true, I'm just thinking the new manager and players seem to have improved them, but you are right how long can they keep it up?

Three points from the last seven games, lost the last two games 2-0 to Portsmouth and WBA?

I'm not so sure, they are getting dragged in, and maybe their new manager bounce has worn off?

With the goal difference, Plymouth will need to pick up at least 9 points to reel them in

If Oxford average just 0.5 points per game for the rest of the season, Plymouth would need 15 points, half of what they have after 34 games.

It's 3 from 6, and I think it'll be 3 from 3.

Re: 50 Points for Safety

I'd point out I only picked 50 points for safety because its what eric and better judges than I reckoned we needed a few games ago?
What has changed?

Only that the points won by the bottom 3 are pretty low by comparison with most seasons.

Makes sense, let's see what happens.
