Where are the points for Championship survival going to come from?

[jamie the seagull]

I think it will be more to do with what points Charlton or Millwall get rather than what we get.
Cannot see where our next 3 points are coming from in view of who we have at home.

 

[Albion Pearl Jammer]

True. At least an absolutely dismal and dire season might have an interesting end.

Yes, now we're way past the point of definitely not going down it could be a stressfull few months.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

As I just posted on the other thread, just 9 points separate 10th place from 22nd. There are a lot of teams still in the mix.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

pretty confident of finishing above Cardiff & Charlton

unless Blackpool & Wigan go on an amazing run,we'll be OK

next season off levels with Hughton,quitely confident of a very good season

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Wigan game is a crunch game tonight.

We have to gain our points and let the remaining results take care of themselves. Obviously the other results will help but we are not in the position yet of relying on them to help. We can stay up on our own efforts.

30 points from 2/3 of the season would suggest we pick up 15 more points. 45 is just not enough.

The thing is though that on that thinking 3 teams will still finish below us.

Lets hope so.

 

[BensGrandad]

Leeds with 2 wins have gone up to the 12th from relegation trouble, so there is hope.

We have 30 pts. It’s generally thought you need around 50 points to be safe so where are those 20 points coming from?
I think we’re going to fall short…

Feb 14: Sheff Weds A: Lose
Feb 21: Birmingham H: Win
Feb 24: Leeds H: Draw
Feb 28: Bolton A: Lose

March 3 Derby H: Lose
March 7: Reading A: Draw
March14: Wolves H: Win
March 17: Millwall A: Win
March 21: Blackburn A: Lose

April 3: Norwich H: Draw
April 6: Rotherham A: Draw
April 11: Bournemouth H Lose
April 14: Huddersfield H: Win
April 18 Wigan A: Draw
April 25: Watford H: Lose

May 2: Boro A: Lose

I make that 47 points. We’re going down with the Blackpool aren't we?

We are one point ahead of your prediction already.

 

[Rugrat]

We are one point ahead of your prediction already.

Might need it if we don't manage a draw at Reading ... optimistic?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

About 50/50 imho. Can't wait for Millwall away is a BIGGIE.

 

[Medwayseagull]

Maybe; but I think most games in this division are too difficult to call.

exactly....like yesterday..Huddersfield getting a point at Bournemouth...Brentford getting thrashed at Charlton....Blackpool drawing 4/4 with Forest

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

21-22 points required I suppose.

7 wins then.

Which makes Birmingham, and Leeds at home as pretty much vital wins if we are not to fall short.

Target wins : Birmingham, Leeds, Millwall, Rotherham, Huddersfield, and try and get 6 points elsewhere.

Chalk off 1 win.

6 more needed.

Now let's get the 2nd one v Leeds.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

5 more wins needed.

Time to get another win at Bolton.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Another win, 4 more required...

 

[LamieRobertson]

Another win, 4 more required...

We are heading for mid table mediocrity at this rate and not that last day relegation dogfight.. dam
