4 Weeks on, to get to the magical 50pts, we now need 13pts from 16 games, 3 wins, 4 draws (9 defeats)

Compared to the current bottom 3:
Derby, 23pts from 16 games, 6 wins, 5 draws (only 5 defeats) (Equivalent to 66pts a season)
Luton, 23pts from 16 games, 6 wins, 5 draws (only 5 defeats) (Equivalent to 66pts a season)
Plymouth, 25pts from 16 games, 7 wins, 4 draws (only 5 defeats) (Equivalent to 72pts a season)

Another 4 Weeks on, and although we are still just about on target PPG wise over the season for the 'magical 50pts', thankfully a lesser total should suffice for survival.
Just 2 wins and 3 draws would take us to 47 points.

For the current bottom 3 to get to 47 points they need:
Luton, 16pts from 11 games, 4 wins, 4 draws (only 3 defeats) (Equivalent to 66pts a season)
Plymouth, 17pts from 11 games, 4 wins, 5 draws (only 2 defeats) (Equivalent to 71pts a season)
Derby, 18pts from 11 games, 5 wins, 3 draws (only 3 defeats) (Equivalent to 75pts a season)

I wonder how many times we have played teams who play in yellow in 3 consecutive matches, Norwich, Hull and Watford

 

[Steve Gilbert]

4 blocks all season where we didn’t get the required points total. 3 of those pre Rowett.
Rowett’s PPG since he has been is 1.41. Over a season that would give us 65 points and just sitting outside the play offs!

What a job that man has done. In Gary we trust!

Please do this again next season. Breaking it down like this was very useful for my little brain and made judging form a lot easier than it could have been

An odd one, but Hull stayed up on 49 points, so is safety 49 or 50 points?

Average is 48.6 as per the table

 

[Foley]

Average is 48.6 as per the table

I was looking at the 50 points for safety in 2024/25- when Hull stayed up on 49 points ( and we would have dine with our GD)

50 to be certain of staying up.

Interesting it’s been 50 the last two seasons, having been 40-something for the rest of the last decade. There were no cannon fodder teams at all this year really, even last year there was Rotherham winning 5 games all season.

Luton and Birmingham both won 13 games and went down…. Goes to show how unforgiving this league has got as more moneys been pumped into it.

 

[TobyDavis34]

The best way to look at it, only 19 points the difference between playoffs and relegation. Over 46 games that's 7 losses becoming draws, and 6 draws becoming wins.

For example, for us, I can think of the following:

Coventry (A) - a draw rather than a loss thanks to Vaulks backpass +1
Blackburn (A) - a draw rather than a loss - we went ahead before half time and nearly hung on +1
Luton (A) - capitalising on the ten men of Luton and getting the winner +2
Bristol City (A) - Harris scoring to make it 2-0, and us hanging on +3
Swansea (H) - Harris scoring to equalise, or Greg Leigh putting away the last minute chance +1
Watford (A) - Genuinely think we could have equalised in this one, we had a last minute chance we put over the bar. +1
Middlesborough (H) - Every goal they scored was v low xG, including one that was offside. 6-2 was a bad scoreline but we played OK. Another day we get a point +1
Plymouth (A) - Think on another day we win this one. +2
Bristol City (H) - Only a worldy from Sykes stopped us winning this one, and even then they were down to 10 +2
Stoke City (A) - Romeny hits the bar which would have been the winner +2
Portsmouth (H) - I know scoreline says 2-0 but we had multiple chances to equalise, and they scored a breakaway final minute 2nd. +1
Hull City (A) - Could have clung on here to a draw after Helik's volley. +1
Leeds (H) - One bit of quality undid us. We were just as good as them thanks to the home support. +1


What a season that would have been!
