We are 10pts clear but 2 or 3 bad results and suddenly you are back down there. And we are more than capable of having 2 or 3 bad results Past 4 seasons the average 22nd places relegation mark is 41 points we get 3 more wins in the next 4 months and we're mathematically safe bar an anomaly hopefully that puts you at ease! To get up to the 60ish point mark Karanka hit in the 13/14 season would require 7-8 wins from now so pretty plausible we're set for a 10th-14th finish. To get relegated we'd have to lose 15 games and draw the rest I don't think even we are capable of being that naff. I think we'll be fine now because there are teams who are clearly worse than us in the Championship. I suppose our form could completely fall off a cliff now but I don't see that happening. We're going to pick up wins along the way between now and the end of the season, I'd be fairly confident of that 👍 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pokeyjoe 112 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Pampers are on offer in Asda if anyone thinks we're getting relegated if that's any help to anyone 😉 Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 The next six games looks easy on paper.. If we could get like 13-14 points there .. Anything would still be possible... if we get that amount .. We might be within 3-6 points of 6th Link to post Share on other sites

So we need 42 points from the remaining 54 points available, or we need 13 wins and 3 draws (so W13 D3 L2) or 14 wins out of 18. I hate ruining dreams but whilst it's not impossible I mean it's very very unlikely we run the board like that regardless of our next few results. Link to post Share on other sites
TLF10 4,493 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 @SmogDane Birmingham @ home Blackburn @ home Brentford away Wigan away Luton @ home Barnsley away Brentford away is tough and only reason Wigan survived last season and have a chance of doing it this season is because they are exceptional at home and awful away. I am hoping Barnsleys good run (think one of the form teams in whole division) is still not going but either way Oakwell has not been a happy hunting ground at all for us in recent times. Therefore 14pts would be quite an exceptional return. I would snap your hands of for 10-11pts. Link to post Share on other sites

But the teams in 4-6th also needs 35 odd points out of the remaining 😉 There is always one team getting a great run at the end .. I just hope it is us .. i don't expect in .. I am satisfied with a mid table finish ... and some sorting out how to approach next season. But one can dream .. look at the big gap we created to the bottom.. with a good spell ..

RiseSirAxlRose 43 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Please now stop with the promotion ***! 2 months ago I’d have snapped your hand off to stay in the league. If we went up we’d be screwed next season anyway. Bournemouth could be in our league next season. if we achieve mid table - with some exciting players coming through the academy, we’ve had a great season. now repeat after me: forget the playoffs!!

I can't honestly understand why anyone would be so bothered about people thinking about promotion. I don't think anyone thinks we'll actually get promoted. It's a possibility, just like relegation, what could possibly grind your gears so much about people thinking about a positive possibility? In what way does that hinder you? Goodness me. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

We’ll finish just below half way imo Link to post Share on other sites

As an aside, I had one of those dolls growing up. But then my nan also had a black cat she called ****** (my stars, not the board censor) that I guess you can fill in the gaps. Different times, different attitudes. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
