points for promotion (2 Viewers)

[ccfcricoh]

Well it's now 5 defeats. We have played 14 matches. It is now looking like such a more monumental task.

The benchmark appears to be to lose no more than around 12 games to get promoted. Last season the 3 top sides all lost 11 games come the end of the season

We have lost nearly half of that with still 32 games to go. It's rather worrying.

We need to buck this trend or we are going nowhere. We have now lost more games than any other team in the top 9.

We need an unbeaten run and a very good unbeaten run and we need it fast. At the moment we are losing at an average of more than 1 in every 3.

Really difficult to judge though, we have more points after 14 games than Portsmouth did last year and they won it!

Just shows how strong the end of their season was, we just need to match it... its not impossible just yet!

Yeah, not impossible, but the historical stats are against us and we'd need to buck that trend.

despite the last 3 games we are still on target for around 76 points
That would comfortably get us into the play offs

32 games to go
suggest we need 2 points per game from now on for autos
but probably only 1.5 points per game for the play offs

the last 3 games suggest however even that will be a struggle

Yeah, agree on the play-offs, but the aim has to be the automatic places.
