Draw with WBA. Otherwise
I have got a feeling we’ll get something, but let’s not get too cocky. Probably our toughest game bar Soton away left and I still feel like we’ll get something from Soton, we always seem to get fuck all out of West Brom.

Or dread to think throw the kitchen sink at Maidstone and lose to their only shot

Not so sure we have won a few of our recent games there

Fairly sure we last won there before Sisu.

I remember a win quite a bit ago. Took an early 2 goal lead. Went 2-2. Then we got 2 late goals. Was before Mifsud thought he was better than he was. Him and Best got the goals IIRC

That was in between a 0-4 and 0-5 thumping wasn't it? All in the same season i think?
I don't think we win at the Hawthorns but we should be looking in the other 4 games there. Hopefully the number of games doesn't cause us an issue, that's my biggest fear over the next month i think.

Happy if we can get 9 points from those. If we win at Plymouth, I might revise upwards.

I don't remember the season or what happened around it. Clearly remember the 'here we go again' moment
We have a chance of winning this time. But we could lose as easily as win. We also have the extra cup game before this one.

Lose Plymouth and wba
Win the rest plus Maidstone and the season remains very exciting going into march

I just want to beat Preston for a change.
20 league matches without a win against them is ridiculous

Except for their left winger, they were bang average at their place earlier this season (although they have got that Emil Riis back now, who is a decent player). Ref cost us by giving a penalty for that dive.

Refs a legend. Forced Robins to change the formation at half time and we haven't looked back since.

we have 3 blocks of 5 left
9 points from each block on average to make the play offs - 74 points should do it with the top 4 having such high totals (may well be less but 74 should secure top 6)
You can see from below that looks possible - but would be good to get a good start in the 1st Group
Games against WBA Hull and Preston are the real 6 pointers, so would be good to get 7 points from those 3 in making the above totals
Plymouth A Stoke A Preston H WBA A Rotherham H
Watford A Hull H Huddersfield A Cardiff H Leeds H
Southampton A Birmingham A Ipswich H Blackburn A QPR H

Only expect 1 defeat in all those games....away to Southampton. WBA away and Leeds at home can go either way. All the rest are winnable.

If we've got serious aspirations of the play offs, we need to be looking at minimum 10 points from these 5 games. Minimum.

What’s the latest calculation on PPG we need to make the playoffs?

If we want to go up its Etihad, Old Trafford & Anfield next season - puts being happy with a point at Plymouth Argyle into perspective.
I'd hope MR's got the psychology/sports science guys in to get the players heads right for this run-in

I think we will beat Plymouth, can see 12 or 13 points there

We're in 6th averaging 1.51 ppg. Sunderland the same as us. Everyone else below us us on less than 1.5 ppg.
If everything continues the same 70 points would be good enough. That's a big IF.
Win 2 lose 1 doesn't sound good but is 2ppg for the rest of the season. Win 10 lose 5. 30 points would give us 77 points. Most of our difficult games are already gone. Win 9 lose 6 would be enough for 74 points. Same as win 8 draw 3 lose 4. A more realistic target.

I don’t want to come 6th. Much rather play Leeds in the final than over two legs. Think they’d have too much for us either way but a one off Wembley game anything can happen.

I still feel it will be very tight margins for 5th and 6th going into the last few games of the season. Key is to keep the momentum going.

Long way before then. WBA have a difficult month.
Cardiff H
Southampton H
Plymouth A
Hull A
Then they have us

To have any chance of play off success think it's boosted if we finish 5th..and play 4th placed team (more than likely Ipswich).
Wouldn't want to play the 3rd placed team over 2 legs. Rather play them in final.

Our GD if it improves will be worth a point so 72/73 should be enough.

I think we need 1.8 to guarantee
1st 16 games we were at 1.0
Next 15 games 2.1
27 points is effectively
win 8 draw 3 lose 2 -
Table this time last year :-

Just like last season?
We were the outsiders with Luton. Remember how that went?
I said 74 points as that could/should be enough for 5th. And don't forget Ipswich. Dropping like a stone. Now only 13 points behind them. 2 wins, 6 draws and 2 defeats in last 10 games. Take out their cup games 1 win 6 draws 1 defeat. 9 points from their last 8 league games. Can they turn it around?

Ipswich would have to have a car crash of monstrous proportions not to make Play offs.
They already have 60 points. Relegation form would get them into play offs.
