If Hudds have the same run as us last season (ie: 6 wins and 3 draws) , for their last 9 games they will finish on 92 points.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Would you settle for 89 pts

or 7 wins and 2 losses, both look to be about par. 92 is a target in my book

I'd bite your arm off if you offered me 92pts as it would make promotion close to certain (1/33...?).
We could easily end up with 92pts.
I'd prefer it if you bit your own arm off!

Irrespective of what other teams may or may not get, no I would not settle for 89 points right now. A finishing total of 89 from our current position of 77 with 8 to play would mean a return of 0.5 ppg, so very poor.
Blimey - you obviously didn't attend your maths classes at school.

I'd be very happy with the same number of points and a better goal difference than Huddersfield. Thoughts shouldn't be on obtaining a set number of points, but rather that we maintain the points gap between us and third.
0.5ppg is very poor but of course that total would mean 1.5ppg ... our last 8 have produced 1.6ppg so this is going right down to the wire
and don't exclude Newcastle from anything ... we've got two bites of the cherry imo

Huddersfield have some injury problems now. Brown and Hogg are big players for them so hopefully that will affect their form for the last 9 games.

Huddersfield have more than enough in them to keep up the pressure

5 wins will do it.

Need to target the four home games, all winnable in my view and hopefully pick up something away but all hard games on the road in my view and our away form has dipped

We always seem to forget how to play football after international breaks which is worrying.
They probably watched the England games....
89 points will not be enough this year.
I think 95 points maybe needed to guarantee going up. That's attainable but we need to sort out the away form. That said. Huddersfield away performances are ''marginal'' to say the least and Newcastle struggle against teams who defend against them

To need 95 points would require Hudds to either get 24 points, or 23 points and turn round a 26 goal difference, in only 9 games. For a team that's only won by 2 goals only twice all season, I'd predict that neither of those scenarios is going to happen.
I reckon they'll get 91.

Yes 91 points and it is a deal, otherwise no deal. 5 wins or 4 wins and three draws needs to be our target. UTA.
