9 wins from 20 games

Honestly think this would be enough. Maybe 8 would do it if those wins came against Newcastle, Leeds, reading and Hudds.

More like 11 wins which would gives us 90 points which would be enough

Nah. 89 points for third was bit of a freak last season. Add to my thinking, that im not expecting us to lose all the games we dont win. A draw in half of them sees us on 89 anyhow.

As long as we beat leeds at there's it might be enough.

I agree ... 3rd will struggle to get to 89 from my look at fixtures

Means we have 28 points to play with whereas Leeds have 19 Reading 20 and Hudders 17. If the total needed is higher all the better as they will have even less points they can lose

27 wins from 20 games is just greedy

The way I see it 2 points per game all but guarantees promotion. We are ahead of that so all good, so are Newcastle. But Leeds & Reading are not far off that, 4 points each. If they were to each win their next 4 games they too would be on 2 points per game. Unlikely perhaps but should either of them catch up to 2 points per game then 3rd place could have 90+ points. So at least 12 wins from last 20 will do it for me.

BTW I can't see Reading getting close to 2 ppg so that just leaves Leeds.

Ur right to aim high, if Hughton can not get the 27 wins from 20 games he has to go!!

Hughton out!!!

Not if you want to WIN the FA Cup as well

All that matters at the moment is a win on Tuesday... but it is looking good.

Great stat from SSN today

Aim for 92. That's probably 12 wins n the 2nd half, of which we already have 2 from 3 tricky games against top half sides. Assumes we won't lose more than 5 of the last 23.
So I'm counting off 10 more wins required....

This. In the second half of the season we have ticked off three hard games (Fulham, Preston and Wednesday) the chasing pack will drop points against these sides.

I've said before we will drop points in the final straight but so will the others, January and February are going to define our season.

Let's beat Cardiff and go from there.

I also doubt many at all had the lead to 3rd that we do at this stage - possibly 1 or 2 out of 11 I'd guess...

 

[BeHereNow]

6 wins, 1 loss and drawing the rest would be enough.

What if Leeds get 13 wins from 20 games?
