I think I calculated that if Hudson maintained his current points per match over the next 25 games we would finish on 50-51 points. That is usually enough to survive but I think that it is too close for comfort and apparently Peterborough were relegated with 54 points in 2012/13. If he makes it until the transfer window, Hudson will need to find additional goals from somewhere as there is little sign of getting much more out of the present squad, even with Rubin Colwill and Isaak Davies to return. I think the plan is to survive in the Championship as we evolve over 2 seasons and 4 transfer windows. Perhaps VT did get a squeaky bum but, as things stand, the answer does not appear to be Mark Hudson. That said, I really do hope that he can turn it around having been our captain and a man who obviously does care something for CCFC.
