Warnock managed 35 games last season and won 54 points. If he was to repeat that from now we would have 66 points after 39 games (4 + 35
). Last years final play off place was 80 points so from the remaining 7 games we would need to win 14 points or 2 points a game.
Sounds a difficult task but we will be picking up a lot more than 54 points from our next 35 games. Sixth place won 22 from 46. Can we win 18 from 35 (22-4
) basically securing a play off spot with 7 games to go. That's 1 win out of 2. I think we can.
2 teams ran away with it last year with the winners winning 29 games. Win a few less than that and you will win the league. So lets say 26. So can we win 22 from 35 to win title with 7 games spare. I think we can win those games in that period but will not win the title by then. However we will be Champions Elect and the question will be can Warnock win the title with more games in hand than Malky.
