Blue n whites Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I seen this on another forum and thought it gave a more realistic view of the league table. Shows clearly gaps appearing within the table which simply stakeing teams from 1st to 24th simply doesn't. I think there is a danger of the top 7 teams running away and securing the playoff if we aren't careful. It literally is make or break time for this season I think. Just to emphasis my point a little further we are 11 points off top spot and 11 points off the relegation. How do you all think we will be sitting come mid January. ? Id be happy to be where we are . Next 6 Fixtures Boro - Brum - Norwich - Leeds - Sheff United - West Brom 1 line equals 1 point starting from the top (44 points) and working down to the Bottom (11 points). Norwich Leeds West Brom, Middlesboro, Forest. Sheff united, Derby Villa Birmingham ROVERS QPR Stoke Swansea, Bristol City Wigan Sheff Wed, Brentford, Preston Hull, Rotherham Reading, Millwall, Bolton Ipswich Edited December 7, 2018 by Blue n whites Quote

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I wasn't expecting the play offs this season. Next season maybe. Lets not try to run before we can walk. 1 Quote
bazza Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 It certainly does give a more realistic view of the league table, Blue n Whites. Thanks for that. Quote

Lets not try to run before we can walk. Totally agree we should be realistic. As i said id be happy to stay where we are. But there is no promise we are gonna be better next year or the year after that. If that was a given every team would be consistently improving. My only point was I think the table set out like this is quite eye opening. Looking forward to tomorrow. I'd settle for a point. COYB Quote

blueboy3333 Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 Points total for the team in 6th in the last ten seasons in the Championship:- 75, 80, 74, 78, 72, 68, 75, 75, 75, 70. (AVG 74.2) We're on course for about 67 points at current rate (1.45 ppg) so probably about 8 points short of what we would need in order to finish 6th. Quote

Looking at the fixtures we've had probably the easier half of the season so far too. Still got to play most of the clubs above us away. Realistically finishing top half would be a very good season. Then it's all about how we recruit over the summer. The reality is we will need to pull together a high quality squad with real togetherness to make a real promotion push. The odds, like all clubs without parachute payments, will be against us. Hopefully Venkys can help. 1 Quote
