Points from the rest of the season

[lazzer]

Here's how many points I reckon we can get from the rest of this season:

3 Sheff Utd v Leicester
3 Leicester v Barnsley
1 Derby v Leicester
3 Leicester v Bristol City
0 Cardiff v Leicester
3 Leicester v Coventry
0 QPR v Leicester
1 Leicester v Norwich
3 Scunthorpe v Leicester
3 Leicester v Portsmouth
1 Middlesbrough v Leicester
1 Leicester v Burnley
3 Leicester v Crystal Palace
1 Reading v Leicester
0 Nott'm Forest v Leicester
1 Leicester v Watford
1 Doncaster v Leicester
3 Leicester v Ipswich


31 points in total. Is that enough for play-offs (70) ?

Is this based on the performances you have witnessed so far this season?

Ouch.....

 

[bocadillo]

I don't see what your problems are - this is a realistic prediction for the rest of the season.

Realistic predictions? From the bloke who languishes in 11th position in the second division of the Prediction League?

If Webbo had posted it no doubt it would be all about ball licking and thumbs up.

Purely out of respect for his leading the Prediction Premier League, I would presume.

Looks like it's based on where people are in the table- and I'd hope that we've been in the Championship long enough for people to know that's really not how it works...

oh

i thought Joe had been assessing the teams from the stands with a clipboard...

I'm a very analytically minded person. I doubt many of you disagree with my predictions that much. I don't get all this negativity from y'all.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Very much doubt 70pts will be enough this season, especially given our inferior GD.

[Ian Marshall]

70 won't do it.

It really is a big ask, but we need to be looking for 74/75 points to be confident of play offs in my opinion.

12 wins out of the last 18 a very big ask.

Depends who else we bring in.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

I still wouldn't be confident with 74/75pts given out inferior GD.

Let's face it we could go on title winning form from here to the end of the season and there's still a good chance we wouldn't make the play-offs.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

We have to get 1/3 of a point nd then a tiny bit more to get above leeds. It's not impossible that we can get the playoffs- just unlikely!

 

[Macky]

We need to do what now? :icon_conf

 

[Jeff]

I still wouldn't be confident with 74/75pts given out inferior GD.

If we do as well as we need to do to get into the play-offs our goal difference might not be inferior by then.
A few good wins, particularly against the teams above us, and the goal difference will look much better.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Of course, jeff, but these points totals are just estimates and it's also a strong estimate that we would fall short if on equal points with teams via goal difference.

 

[Granite Fox]

I think something special is happenning and we could just do it.

 

[Billy Boy]

We'll just have to make sure the Yak is fed then won't we?

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

We need to do what now? :icon_conf

Sorry, a third of a point more than leeds PER GAME- and then an extra point overall unless our GD is superior. I use Leeds as a benchmark because they are in the top 6 and on the same games played as we are.

The title winning form of Newcastle last year produced 43 points from their last 18 games - I'd take that.

Most other teams stumbled their way through the last third of the season, we were the best of the rest with 33 points in the run in - and improved our GD by 13. Do that again and we'd probably make it.
