We have less points this season than we did then.

you keep repeating this 8 points off the playoffs, it means little when there are 11 teams between us and 6th place. History shows you need 74 ish points to make the playoffs, to get there we'll need to average a ppg rate that would get us near the automatic spots over a full season.

I genuinely think people have lost brain cells since the sacking. Basic logic has gone out of the window.

have you read the thread? I said top 10 should be the target for the new manager. But apparently according to others anything less than playoffs from this point is a failure, even though we have wasted 1/3 of the season and would have to go an incredible run to get there.

Doing better than Robins would be finishing 16th 🤣

And I'm not surprised the feverish Robins loyalists are now setting unrealistic expectations for the new manager so they can inevitably call him a "failure" and pat themselves on the back for being right.

Yes. Style will be important. Obviously won’t be popular with some on here but it definitely played a part in Robins sacking.

We’re really not

We rebuilt last year. This season had to be better. I was expecting a top 6 finish this year in the knowledge that if we don’t go up we’d be likely to lose a few next summer and might need another rebuild.

Genuinely, what are we consolidating? Mid table?

He’s probably still quicker than Lati

W2 D1 L2 is not play off form by any stretch of the imagination. And that was our best 5 game run of the season.

Our recent form is play off form? What are you smoking?

You guys are just setting yourself up for a season of misery tbf. Genuinely sounds like half of you will be glad if we do poorly so you can finger wag and moan about how it was better under Robins.

That’s a lot after 15 games. Maybe not but it’s equivalent to about 20th place. Anyway, the point is that to get playoffs now we’d have to average autos form for the rest of the season. That’s unrealistic.

blues got relegated on a higher ppg than we're averaging. Anyway, that's not the point I'm making.

We're 15 games in and our points total is relegation form. The new manager presumably won't have a time machine back to August, so that is a ridiculous statement.

74 points is generally the minimum that will reliably get you into the playoffs. That's just over 1.6 points a game. I'd hope the new manager to average that for the remainder of the season which would give us 65/66 points and we'd probably finish around 10th.

Well, as the last week has shown the forum seems to be full of people prone to hysteria. We weren’t and aren’t getting relegated - yesterday was a perfect example of the individual quality we do have even when we’re not performing that well as a unit. Obviously I called for Robins out and I...

We’ve scored 20 off 20.9 xg, our players are finishing chances. We were never going to get relegated.
