Points required update thread

[SwalePie]

Win our game in hand and we're out of the relegation zone. Put more pressure on those around us. Who would have thought that a few weeks ago!!

I believe it was pretty much only me

Fair play swaley you did. I don’t think even you would have forecast such an incredible transformation in the team in the space of a few weeks.

We’re still bottom of the table but I don’t think relegation is even an issue now. Tbh I’m a bit frustrated that we didn’t have this team at the start of the season. The table would be looking very different.

02/02/19	16	47	1.56	Morecambe
12/02/19	15	46	1.40	Morecambe
16/02/19	14	44	1.14	Yeovil
19/02/19	13	44	1.23	Yeovil

Not a lot really changed. Depends whether this was just a blip or the 7 pts out of 9 was a flash in the pan.

7 points in every 4 games will still do nicely. Over to you NA & co.

What this table shows is that there’s no need to panic over one bad result. We are still better off than we were 4 games ago, providing that the requirement figure is correct.

Keep your eye on the Pts/Game figure as the games left runs down. If that goes above 3, we’re stuffed!

Yes I don’t think we have reason to panic. Even 7 points from the last four games see us averaging 1.75 points per game.

Carry on like that and we will finish on 51 points. So basically we can afford to lose 1 in 4. Not insurmountable.

What we have is a chance and we did not have that a few weeks ago.

Agreed, if we can have a record of 6 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats over the final 13 games (taking us to 50 points), we should be fine. Let’s see how we respond against a playoff-chasing team on Saturday.

Saturday’s big games: Cheltenham v Port Vale; Crawley v Macclesfield; Yeovil v Cambridge and us at Tranmere.

I think losing 1-4 at home to a mid-table team is a fairly good reason to panic. Now we know that this team has that kind of performance in them, the question is will we see more of that, or more of the battling, high-energy stuff that got us 7 points in 3 games. If we lose on Saturday, which like it or not is the most likely outcome, and teams around us pick up wins, we're looking screwed again.

I'm betting on seeing more of that first kind of performance, slack. So peed off am I of seeing it and suffering miserable post match blues I'm putting a fiver on the other team winning in each game from now until the end of the season. Win or lose, I'll be happier than I am now.

We're back to worse than when I started this and running out of games.
