3 less STs here next year already. I might get a match package and pick and choose my games, regardless of which league were in.
Another unguessable chunk of ST holders might decide they don't wish to throw good money after bad watching mediocrity too...regardless of prices
I would even say that if we don't get at least 1 win from the next 2 games a number of people with ST won't be turning up for the remaining home games this season.
That tells him then to stop playing for draws away from home.
That win ratio over the next 14 games won't get us promoted. We need to win 10 I would say to make sure we are in the play offs, a big ask.
Like subs on the 89th minute.OR people could watch games and the way he sets up and how he reacts even when we are behind
Actually, the average amount of points to qualify for the playoffs over the last 16 seasons is 70 pts. The lowest being 63 and the highest being 74. In fact the stats suggest that 10 wins could edge us into the 3rd spot for the autos. With 80 pts being the average over the same period. With the highest being 85 and the lowest being 74.
Comparing previous seasons provides a guide that might be useful at the start of the season but this far into the season a better guide is to see the average points per game the current 3rd & 7th placed teams have & transpose it to a 46 game season. Doing this indicates that this season the points required are going to be much higher than in an average season, with 86 for 3rd & 77 for 7th, Even if one of the current Top 7 slip up, Lincoln in 8th are currently heading for 74 points at their current average points per game so it looks like a bigger ask than some of us are expecting. Still not impossible but we really need something out of these next 2 games, more so in that we really can't afford 2 of our rivals to get an even bigger lead on us than they already have.
This is the league table from last season after 33/34 games.
It's only the Exeter points that really make a difference. Notts County also played, but lost.
Ahh, right. Yep. Definite anomaly. Can be done, but very rare.
That is not really true, there is a lot of potential support which turns up in the right circumstances.
They lost in the play off semi finals the year before and started last season very badly but in the end they finished 5 points off the play offs after a 15 game unbeaten run. They've carried that form and momentum on into this year.
Agreed, of course teams will swap positions & there are no definites, Some teams will rise and some will drop like Blackpool & Carlisle did last season, but the average points calculation is a better guide than most. It certainly was last season - the table Otis put up showed Stevenage in 7th on 52 points off 34 games, which transposes to 70 points over 46 games, which is exactly what Blackpool ended up with when they finished in 7th place. The way the league is this season I don't see 72 points being enough. If we carry on as we have been this season our average works out at 72 over a whole season, so if 72 is enough we don't have to improve on our season so far to make the play offs, so happy days
Hasn’t done anything for us though really has it
