"In the season we were promoted we only gained 17pts from our last 12 games.
After 34 games we had 70pts only 3 more than now.
We were promoted as Champions with 87pts.
Will 6 wins and 2 draws be enough?"
Forever Blue wrote:PROMOTION POINTS NEEDED - 6 WINS A MUST :
Following are the points earned by 2nd placed teams in the last 10 seasons : (16-17) 93 Brighton (15-16) 89 Middles (14-15) 89 Watford (13-14) 93 Burnley (12-13) 79 Hull (11-12) 88 Southam (10-11) 84 Norwich (09-10) 91 WBA (08-09) 83 Birming (07-08) 76 Stoke What it shows is that there are no hard establised conclusions. A spread of 79 to 93 is very big. As it stands because the competition between us , Villa & Fulham is so keen it is unlikely that the upper figure (93) will be needed. Of course Derby may yet have a run and Wolves may get a wobble. It is still a tad too early to predict. I believe 90 points should do it. 6 wins 2 draws & 3 losses would probably be enough.
5 wins will not be enough ! WE NEED 6 WINS !!! This is our yardstick.

villa on 66 with 11 games left, a good run could see them get to 90 but they still have some hard games to come .

Agree you can't go by previous seasons, can be a big difference in the points needed for promotion or to avoid relegation. Even if you could go by past campaigns, I would tend to look at the points the third placed team had achieved rather than the runners up. It could be the case that the runners up would still have been promoted with less points that they actually achieved depending on how many points they finished ahead of the third placed side.
Even though Brighton finished on 93 points last season, 86 would have been enough for them to go up.

Wolves need just 17 out of their last 36 so should get there although the nerves must be setting in now. We need 20 out of 33, Villa 24 out of 33.
All very tight but we could really do with Fulham slipping up sooner rather than later and draw between Villa and Wolves on Saturday. Of course we need to keep winning and get the points on the board to give us a little bit of cushion when the fixtures get a little trickier.
This is shaping up to be the best finish to a season in the 45 years I've been going. Why is 99% of the South Wales public so indifferent to what's going on ?

Promotion on the horizon so thought it might be time to return.
I hopefully stopped a lot of stressing last time.
This time members seem fully aware that it is more about what others have to do to catch us like Fulham needing 25pts from 30 to get to 90pts.

Each to their own. I personally hate keyboard warriors.
As for the multi. Aren't they more about people setting them up to goad and illicit arguments?
This account is just about, as you would put it, banal stats. Not really used to be a keyboard warrior is it.
How do you know it's a multi anyway?
