    What we need

    I hope I have done the sums right, happy to be corrected.

    1st 14 games
    Home 7 games 17 points av 2.4pts
    Away 7 games 12 points av 1.7
    Overall average = 2pts per game

    2nd 14 games
    home 7 games 14 points av 2
    away 7 games 8 points av 1.1
    Overall average = 1.5pts per game

    OVERALL
    1.82 Average points per game
    Home average 2.2pts
    Away average 1.4pts

    Games remaining...
    home x 9 including - Mansfield, Wycombe, Coventry, Luton
    away x 9 including Newport, AccyS

    Points required for automatic based on recent years = minimum of 80?

    Year 1st 2nd 3rd
    2016-2017 87 87 85G
    2015-2016 99 86 85
    2015-2014 94 89 85
    2014-2013 84 81 81
    2013-2012 83 79 78
    2011-2012 93 88 87

    So we realisticly need around 30point..

    Where will they come from?

    20 home and 10 away?

    What we need is two centre halves and a quality striker. And fewer midfielders. In other words, a properly balanced squad.

    Then again, that's been the case for six seasons now!

    What we need is a striker in the Jermaine Defoe mould, one who knows the ball needs to be shot at goal given even half a chance, not one who looks for a sideways pass in the penalty area. It's hard for defenders to cope with the first but in League 2 a packed defence can usually stop the short, sharp pass. I'm not talking here about the combined attack, I'm on about quick reactions from an alert striker, someone with the training of a fighter pilot.

    We've got a nice run of fixtures now until the Mansfield game, we really need to be looking at winning most of them between now and then if we are to have any chance.
