In four of the last five seasons 71 points has been sufficient for play offs qualification.

We have 11 points, so 60 more needed.

20 wins required in the last 36 games.

We have 18 home games and 18 away.

I will start the count down:

20 to go.

17 wins needed from 31 games. Currently, as we need to win more than half our games there is no breathing space. Need to put another run together.

16 wins needed from 25 games.

We do need to step it up. Current points per game will only take us to 59 points.

1 defeat in 7 though. Same story today really, get to the final third and the final ball isn't there. Don't know what the last 35 mins was about, sitting back and trying to see it out.

I thought it was two poor sides for most of today, reminded me of the Crawley game at the start of the season where we scrapped a win. Always glad to get the win but concerning how little we offer in the final third at the moment.

15 wins required. 24 games to get them from.

Doable if Gary is backed to add quality to the squad in January.

We won’t need 75 points for the playoffs though will we?
Get the 15 wins and see where we end up. Remembering I don’t account for draws, and only started counting after first seven games which I have viewed as a write off, then yes we might not need 15 wins, but that is the count down.

A mugs game to start lowering ones targets. Play for a draw, and you lose, as they say.

Your prediction may prove correct, however the countdown is fixed: 15 wins required for a shot at promotion.

12 home games to come, and 11 away. Got to make WR a fortress.

Ben2 wrote:So the target is 15 wins then. Good. Agreed.

Which are the 8 games we targeting to lose? If you can give me notice I’ll give them a swerve.

The idea of ‘targets’ in football is completely nonsensical. ‘Benchmarks’ or points tallies that normally lead to success/failure I understand.
Benchmark then. Or minimum target.

51 is the first to stay up 84 to be promoted end off

I'll be happy with 62 points and a top half finish, anything more is a bonus given our injuries and first half form, anything much less than 55 points will be very disappointing.

We have 30 points at the half way stage, the first 7 games of which were played before we had the squad in place.

To only get 32 points in the second half after new signings etc would be hugely disappointing; I certainly wouldn't be happy with 62 Robin!

Surely not?

7 down, 13 to go.

But only 13 games left, so I suspect this thread will be closed in a week's time.

Shown today that with more consistency and taking our chances we could be in the top 7. With some tweaks in the summer and keeping our better players then hopefully the consistency will be there.

Agree Shade the nucleas is there to challenge, we're going to announce a profit and just had some extra investment, you would hope we can add 3-4 players with that bit more quality in the summer and challenge.

Our last two wins have been 4-1 and 5-1, with some dross inbetween. Just sums it up. (What I meant to put in my last post)
