TLF10 4,440 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Just been listening to Warnock on bbc radio tees. He said his first aim is to get 50pts, therefore 6 more pts. He knows league better than me but i think we need 9 more pts to be safe this year given form of the bottom sides. Link to post Share on other sites

The absolute best points tally of the teams currently in the relegation zone would be 59 points, and that's if they won 6 out of 6 games. Then the teams above them would need to keep pace with that too. The teams in the relegation zone are in brilliant form, but they started from such a low position that they've only just started to catch up and there's only 3 weeks left. I reckon 2 wins and 1-2 draws from 7 will see us safe. Link to post Share on other sites

I reckon 2 wins and 1-2 draws from 7 will see us safe. Warnocks got an extremely steady career average of 40% win rate he hits that in the 7 games we either get 50 or 53 points from wins alone you'd fancy him to nab a couple of draws as well I think all the stats/projections would say we should be safe especially with Wigans 12 point deduction the nervy feeling is probably coming from Luton/Barnsleys past couple of results and now no one looks truly dead and buried so there's a real tension around us. We beat Hull tomorrow then go on and meet QPR who have looked like they're on their holidays since they came back there's 50 points for us by Monday if there's 2 teams for us to face right now they're the 2 you'd want if you were Warnock, I think neither Hull or QPR have much to scare us they both can't defend for their lives and one teams missing their best players. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

My friends seem to think its 3pts in the bag and i hope they are not in for a rude awakening this evening as I sense a difficult game where a win is not a certainity.

But not today hey? Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 In all honesty this is a season defining game for both clubs but I am not going to assume that our players will revert back to the Woody way, much more faith now that Warnock is in charge. Any way roll on 1700hrs 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Skinemrippers 894 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Massive game. I’m confident that all of the players will know their jobs and will have completed relevant training sessions run by experienced coaches. This means that they will go into the game 100% more prepared than they would have done and are more likely to get a result. Im still nervous, but more confident in getting a result. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Duvel 2,446 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I've got a feeling that Hulls last result looks better than it actually is. Birmingham have apparently been poor since they came back and were stuffed last night by Huddersfield. I fancy our chances tonight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
