A cynical move for the most optimistic poster award.

Personally, I thought it was a bid for most amusing poster. :ugeek:
(Perhaps we need hybrid categories).

would do it with 11 points from those games.

Given that we're 5 points above the relegation battle atm, to be dragged towards it we'd need to get 6 points or fewer while those really in it get 9 points or more over the next 8 games, imho.


One point better off than expected, after the Scunthorpe & Rotherham away games...

Two points worse off than expected after the first three games - not confident we'll even get 5 points from our next 5 games now, let alone 10 on current form...

So after 3 of the 8 games we have 1 point. If this continues and we are lucky we may get 5 from the next 5.

Any one wishing to have a little wager we are currently 3/1 6th favourites to get relegated.

Perhaps PW should invest as well

Back on target after the first four games then - merely a small misalignment in the prediction sequence... ;) :lol:

So only 4 points from 5 games. 4 from a possible 15.

This is relegation numbers.

We are probably better than the bottom 2 teams but that is not saying a lot.

By my reckoning we need to average over a point a game over the next 20 games. So far we have got 29 from 26. Which is just over a point a game but Im not sure the same return will be sufficient to keep us up.

By the 13th Feb we will have played 4 of the teams below us. The other games are against Rotherham Walsall and Portsmouth.

I personally think we are seriously in the s..t.

As well as we did against Posh and it showed the players were probably with the manager Im not sure if he can turn it around now. But the way the press have been reporting RN wont be going anywhere.

We will need to get behind them at SMK to have any chance of staying in L1

The game against the pub team is massive.
