If we are to finish 10th this season, we'd need roughly the same amount of points per game average as a team finishing in 6th would need over a whole season. A top 6 finish would need an average of around 1.8 points a game, which would win automatic promotion more often than not.

I'd also suggest finishing anywhere between 9th and 16th as being mid-table, but there's quite a difference between them. If we finished 16th this season but look like we're improving and have things to build on, I'll be happy. I'd see that as a better season than last season - even though we finished 12th, in most aspects of our game we were generally dreadful and weren't building anything.
Last season 10th was 63 points. Wed need 1.5 points a game to get to that.

And yes top 6 was 73 points and would need 1.8 points to get to that.

We can discount the first 6 games as we know how bad bulut was and it wasnt due to a lack of quality in the squad. Those saying that have been proven wrong.

But i genuinely cannot believe how you could think this squad could still not be around 10th place if we had about 3 new quality players such as a couple of strikers.

We actually came one point from 10th last season. Do you think last years squad was that much better than this then?
