The required points total?

[rjc_1988]

With Raith coming back into the equation allbeit as outsiders it is interesting to speculate on the required points total to secure 4th place.

If Queens manage to beat Falkirk i think 10 points from our remaining 6 games will get us over the line. That of course is a very tall order but if we secured 10 points and didnt get there then whoever pips us would need to have a pretty flawless run to the line.

That would take us to 57 points and Falkirk would need to secure 12 points from their 5 games to overhaul us.

Clearly it is easy to speculate on paper but essentially in "real money" we need 3 wins and a draw but it helps enormously if one of our wins is against Falkirk. If we lose to Falkirk then the strong suspicion is that we can forget it. If the 3 challengers start drawing a lot of matches then the required tally drops dramatically.

we will win our last 3 fixtures id think so a win against either rangers or falkirk would see us over the line .anyways i can see us getting a point or more at easter road .

If we don't take anything from Hibs and Rangers, we'll be trying to reach the target from the last 4 v Falkirk and Dumbarton at home and Livingston and Alloa away.
In the corresponding games earlier in the season, we took 8 points from those games.
Under Fowler we've managed 2 away wins from 13 so the chances of getting 2 out of 3 or of winning the last 2 are quite low.

best result for us next week will be a draw between falkirk and raith

Our required points total will be 1 point more than Falkirk and Raith...or we can just beat them on goal difference. Come on Queens, this can be done!!!!
