I think he just said 6 wins didn't he?
That's rubbish though, Rusty Trombone thinks we'll only need 66 points!
And Burton will drop like a stone.....

He said 6 wins and probably 2 draws.

It's impossible for this team to win 6 more games. Too many teams in form we will play.
It's going to be an annoying end of the season where we miss out. Just have this feeling.

Last year 69 points got 6th place, in the years before that 71, 74, 74 and 73. I think we need to concentrate on the next game only, grind out the wins, then the confidence will return.

It will be higher than 69 this year, after 36 games 6th places is already 5 points ahead compared to last season. Agree we just need to take each game as it comes. It's a must win next season to prove this is the start of something as opposed to a (nice) blip in a poor run like Crewe, bury, port vale wins.

4 wins from 10 games will probably get them automatic promotion!! That would be 83 points. Probably need 2 or 3 draws to go with it.

Walsall in 4th place (chose them because they are on the same points as Gillingham, but have a game in hand) are 9 points behind Burton on 62.
For them to get to 83 that is 21 points. 7 wins from 11 matches, or 6 wins and 3 draws. Really cannot see them achieving that.
It's still early days to be saying it. but Burton look very much odds on to go up.

To be fair, Grendel actually said pre-season that Wigan 'would walk this league.'
Hardly done that have they.

Between 8th and 12th I predict.
Otis

Yep. I think we won't make it. Said that the minute we dropped out the top 6.
More than happy to be proved wrong, but I just think it is too big an ask!
All we need to do now though is concentrate on one game at a time and keep trying to win games.
Who knows, maybe it will be a low total. Last season though Chesterfield got 69 points to bag 6th place.
true

1. No I didn't. I said "almost certainly" get recalled, never said definitely, and not said immediately. And actually that was before it was announced it was Rafa, if it had been a Harry rednapp or a Moyes, etc, I think he would have been recalled within the first couple of weeks, but Rafa hardly ever plays kids so I don't think he will be recalled now.
2. Pretty much the whole fanbase has called MAF shit this season.
So, nothing to see here.
