We are pretty much already there, it should be points needed for auto promotion
I think Backroom is getting a little bit carried away - top 2 have quite a nice cushion, we would almost need not to drop any points to get there imo.
I think play-offs will be tight but we can get there, has anyone got our recored under Robins for league games only excluding cup matches, this will give me an indication of if two points average a game is achievable. This will put us on 77 points which should be enough any less and it is questionable. Looking round many teams have a few games in hand so we are in a slightly false postion of 7th at the moment. Realistically we are more like 10th/11th I think when all teams round us catch up in games.
We can do it but it will be tough.....due to the disasterous start!!
Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but on the next 4 Tuesdays there are 4-5 re-arranged games each week, and nearly every game involves a team around or above us:
22/01/13 - Brentford v Orient, Bury v Sheff Utd, Hartlepool v Bournemouth, Notts C v Oldham
29/01/13 - Crawley v Preston, Orient v Swindon, Pompey v Notts C, Yeovil v MK Dons
05/02/13 - Colchester v Swindon, Oldham v Yeovil, Sheff Utd v Crawley, Stevenage v Notts C
12/02/13 - Brentford v Stevenage, Crewe v Bournemouth, Doncaster v MK Dons, Hpool v Pompey, Scunny v Carlisle
We'll know by this time next month just how many points off the top 6 we'll be and what we have to do.
Only 5 of those games feature 2 sides in the promotion chasing mix playing each other, so there's not huge potential for dropped points (or 7 if you include Orient in the mix). Still, every little helps.
I think you have to still include Notts C (6 pts behind us - 4 games in hand), Stevenage (3 pts behind us - 3 games in hand) Crewe (3 pts behind us - 2 games in hand) as all still very much in the mix. Of course they can't all win and its going to be very difficult to get an accurate picture until after the games on 12th Feb and all the games are caught up.
