Thetford Yellow

40 points

Recommended Posts

With Bournemouth and Newcastle getting their act together and Sunderland (despite losing on Saturday) showing signs of improvement, it is doubtful that 40 points - already an optimistic target for NCFC - will be enough to beat the drop this year

It''s good that you are ''already an optimistic''

More to the point, Thetford, I see your mob are playing against Bradley Johnson + Derby. I''m sure he will love to score against the Scum, enjoy the game!

[quote user="Prince of Darkness "]I think it is time for Ricardo to give us his view on the points requirement[/quote]We will certainly require a lot fewer than 40 points to stay up.Last season 6 teams failed to get 40 points and the season before that 7 teams failed to do the same. I expect that at least 5 will fail to reach that mark this season. 35/36 points has often been quite enough to stay up.The last time a team was relegated with over 40 points was West Ham in 2002/03.The way this season is shaping up I would suspect that 37/38 points should be quite safe.

I think 36 might even be enough this year.

That''s only 23 points to get - 7 wins and a few draws. Doesn''t sound so bad does it

Not very often that 40 is needed often 36 to 38 range is enough. What the last 2 weeks has shown is that things can change very very quickly both for good and bad. any side that can put a little run of wins and draws together can pull away from the bottom for a while. Still lots of games to go and we are due the odd unexpected win against a fancied side
