Badger 2,389 Posted February 25, 2017 We have 13 games left, meaning a maximum of 39 points. How many of these do we need to make the playoff places. Last year Sheff Wed made it with 74 points. In 2015 78 points was not enough to get Wolves into the playoffs. 2014 Brighton go 6th with 72 points and in 2013 Leicester got in with just 68 points.It seems that to be more or less certain we would need 79 points - that''s 28 points from 13 games - 9 wins + a draw? I''m interested in peoples'' views as to whether we will need this many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Barclay seats 4849 the 3rd 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Having supported City for many years , I feel , as Ricardo does , that this is the beginning of the end ( for now ) of our higher league adventures . We have not displayed nearly enough consistency to achieve a total of points needed to achieve a playoff position . The squad is ageing and stale . It will very likely be a year or two before we seriously challenge for anything . I am not being a doom monger ,, just feel that after this seasons erratic form , the realism is chumpionship for now . That''s not all bad , we can be back to seeing plenty of goals , and more anticipation of success . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessingham Canary 99 Posted February 25, 2017 Too many i''m afraid, feel its a case of make the most of what we have for now, see what happens in the summer in terms of players moving on and how we start to restructure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyboy 0 Posted February 25, 2017 More than we will end up with! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,655 Posted February 25, 2017 Probably get enough out of the home games but certainly not enough from the away games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted February 25, 2017 Let''s see if he''s learned a lesson from the last game 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 25, 2017 Its not about how many we get but if the teams above us are going to slip up.Wednesday are 7 points ahead. Could be 10 by the end of the day.Barring a cataclysmic side by 3 teams (ensuring we overtake and pick up enough) then it''s time to give up dreaming this season.

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 25, 2017 But of course then we could gain on Leeds by winning tomorrow if Wednesday win today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted February 25, 2017 6th spot is normally 75 ish. With the games to go and the opposition to face that looks a long long way off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Van wink 2,994 Posted February 25, 2017 Where de go? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 25, 2017 More than the team that finishes 7th...Its pointless trying to put a figure on the amount of points we needAs it stands, our season hinges on next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted February 25, 2017 I think if you can get to 75 pts you are in with a shout, I wouldn''t be surprised if 6th spot end on about 78 pts, I''ve had a long scroll through the table history though I don''t any record of 6th spot requiring 80+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bad Wolf 0 Posted February 25, 2017 It''s normally around 74 point on average. Might need a couple more this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowhammer 84 Posted February 25, 2017 Too many as the others keep getting points and we throw them away . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GPs Beard 0 Posted February 25, 2017 Too many. Tomorrow is the most meaningless Derby there has been for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,389 Posted February 25, 2017 With 13 games to go, I think that it is a little early to write the season off. I know that our defence, in particular, makes it hard to be optimistic, but if we did play anywhere near as well as we should have been, there is still some hope (for the next week at least). Getting 70+ points shouldn''t be beyond us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 929 Posted February 25, 2017 We need to gain 7 points than the current 6th place, 9 more on 5th place, 10 more on 4th and 14 more on 3rd.Think 6th is our only chance but even that is a slim one.Not only that there currently are two other teams between us and 6th.To get in a play off slot we need to hope that we have a big improvement on recent form (unlikely), Sheff Weds stumble and/or one of the others currently in the play-off places has a catastrophic collapse.(even more unlikely)Fail to win tomorrow and it ain''t gonna happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
