WILL 35-40 POINTS

Thu Feb 03, 2011 10:03 am

Out of our remaining fixtures i have predicated that we should get between 35 & 40 points !!!

That will give us between 83 - 88 points

Will that be enough for automatic promotion or playoffs ?

Or will we miss out all together which will surely see the end of dave jones' reign as CARDIFF CITY manager :?: :?: :?:

Thats an average of just over two points from all our remaining games. On current form, & with DJ, i don't think so.
If i was a brave man, & in controll of City, DJ would have up untill Sundays result to answer for. If we loose, then he goes, simple init?

At xmas time i predicted our remaining fixtures and and come up with a total of 85 pooints which i think will be enough for an auto spot.

The lowest points total to get automatic promotion in the last 10 years was 79 by Stoke City, the next lowest was WBA with 81 the same season as Stoke. The average 2nd place points total is 84 to get automatic so your pretty much spot on.

All we have to do is get the points :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Went through remaining games last night with the view that if we are a team that gets auto promotion what results should we be getting. Got to 93 points with a draw against jacks, only defeat to forest and a good home record. Revised 3 away wins to draws to settle on 87 points. However, since November we haven't played like a team that is going to get auto promotion so up to the team to step up and start getting the results they should be getting if they want to play in the premiership.

what we gotta remember is, nobody is really romping away with this and there's been some odd results so far, lets just take it 1 game at a time, anything can happen in this league and any team and fall away in the last handful of games.

But you must agree that some games are 3 point bankers like scunthorpe home
Anything less is 3 points dropped end of

Based on our ratio to date we will finish on 78.

This time last year we had exactly the same points but one game in hand.

This does not take into account the amazing run we are about to go on starting on Sunday :lol: :ayatollah:
