Can we still achieve this seasons objective?

No.
In reality, we're too far behind now.

If we finished on 54 points in the table, that'd be a great result from where we are now...
Preventing another avoidable relegation must be the club's new objective.


Making the playoffs is already out of reach.

Again, even if we could miraculously & instantly improve to achieve auto-promotion form & 2 points per game on average for the remaining 18 games this season, the clubs currently in the playoff positions will still be averaging around 1.5 points per game over the same period...
So after the remaining 18 games, we would have gained just 9 points on the 6th place club, and still be 8 points off the final playoff spot.

Mathematically of course, we could still be Champions if we win all our 18 remaining games home & away against Wigan & Blackburn etc. while they & every other team in the league draw all their other remaining matches lol...

It could happen.
But it's almost infinitely improbable.
Time to fire up the Infinite Improbability Drive then, and give it a really really hot cup of tea? ;)

I'm undecided about where we'll finish.
One head says we'll finish around 19th 20th.
My other head says we'll finish reasonably comfortably in 12th to 15th.

If the Dream Team keep us up, just the same as Robbie did last year, would it be worth sacking them, to prevent the annual crap start next season ?

We're one point away from safety and people are prepared for relegation.
