Matches How many points do you think we’ll get in last 15 games?
- Thread starter uptheus
- Start date
I think the home games against Bristol, Cheltenham & Accrington - and away games against Cambridge & FGR are massive. We NEED to get the vast majority of the points we need for survival there.
Given that we have Plymouth, Derby, Sheff Weds, Portsmouth, Bolton & Barnsley to play (as well as some really tricky away games against Lincoln, Morecambe & Vale) - games where points are absolutely possible, but will be at a premium - you realise just how massive those three home games and obviously ‘winnable’ away games are…

13 points will it be enough any more injuries and we are really in trouble .What a shocking season and when you are going into the tough end of the season with players like Murphy ,Baldock, Henry and Bodin fitness is needed Wow its going to be tough .You just keep wondering where are the goals and points coming from ,especially with such a leeky defence.
And when you have TW insisting that we’ve come out of the January transfer window - his first window as CEO - with a stronger squad than before it, it just confirms that he’s out of his depth and having the wool pulled over his eyes by KR. Very worrying times.

Not enough!
I really hope I'm wrong but it's going to take a massive upturn in form to keep us up.
We really are awful this season

We will lose on Tuesday night, absolute banker if you fancy a bet, then that is followed up by two games we have get at least one win from, always hard to see a win coming when you are in terrible form and the realisation dawns that the team/squad is just not very good.
If Robinson has half a brain he finds a way to make us hard to beat and tries to nick a few wins, but that probably requires him to go three at the back and be solid, he won't accept that and he, and his supporters, will claim we are some footballing team (which we are not, we are as s**t to watch as the majority of this league) and set us up like the ridiculous way he did in the first half on Saturday.

12 points, 3 wins, 3 draws, 9 losses, and a majorly squeaky bum, but it'll be just enough to keep us up.

We have stumbled 22 points from the last 16 games so if nothing changes then why should the points per game change....!
That would leave us finishing on 58 points, enough to stay up, not enough to secure Karl Robinsons job for another season....!

I was surprised to see Sky Bet have Plymouth at 7/4
Worth a few quid, must do if you have an acca as well.

Bet against your own team, that’s dangerous, although t is a win win situation......?
If you bet on the other team and they win, you win money......
if you bet on the other team and Oxford United win the you are elated because we have won the game and got the 3 points

We’ll get 17 or 18. Finish about where we are. A managerial change would fix things instantly, but even KR will cobble together a winning XI out of our squad 4 times in 15 games.
There’s a reason we’re 33/1 to go down. We’ve got good players and once a month the manager plays a system that suits them.

If you do blocks of 5 game's, going on our last 5. It's 3 points

Quite a funny synopsis but you could well be right
Mind you we were 80/1 to be relegated a few weeks back
I couldn't possibly say whether I thought it was worth a punt at the time....

Based upon PPG in last 16 games that works out at 20 points, so making a total of 56. However, based upon the level of games we’ve got against teams in the top 10 (Plymouth, Sheffield Wed, Bolton, Derby, Barnsley, Peterborough), plus difficult away fixtures etc, I’m not sure how we’ll fair against these, but, however which way you look at it it’s not a foregone conclusion that we’ll achieve that same PPG ratio!!

Would 52 points be enough. We were last relegated with 49 points. And that was with only the bottom two going down.

It will be, but we have to get there first, we really struggle to score and Robinson can't set up a team to keep a clean sheet as it doesn't fit with the nonsense idea he has about himself that his teams play good football, we have kept 3 clean sheets in 34 games (I think) thanks to the tactical genius, he has been found out finally and its going to be a long end to this season.

I really have a horrible feeling that we will still be desperate for points when we get to the last three or four games of the season
a few more than is required to avoid getting dragged in the relegation battle- but there may be once or twice when get precariously close to the cusp of the group fighting to avoid the drop before the seasons end- a flrt or two with the periphery of the drop dogfight perhaps , without getting dragged in

My prediction for this year is 46 to 48.Would 52 points be enough. We were last relegated with 49 points. And that was with only the bottom two going down.
Out goal difference is excellent compared to the bottom teams.
I wouod be pretty confident that 48 will be enough . 50 maximum
only scored 2 in the last 5 league games though
need, as we have almost all season, took put away chances created- hopefully the drought will end soon - maybe starting tomorrow night
