Final points predictions

84

Now 82!

Nobody has said what these predictions mean?

I think we will make the play offs at least and that will be a good thing as we will have two chances of going up. Top Teams are getting nervous...

It seems to me there are 5 clearly leading teams in this division - Stockport, Mansfield, Wrexham, us, & Barrow. 3 of these will go up automatically and 2 be doomed to the playoffs, so (at least) one will miss out completely. I think we'd need a really awful collapse not to make the playoffs now - 67 was enough in 2012 - something over 80 should just about get 3rd anyway. But it was just points we were asked to predict.

I think that you have to include MK Dons in the mix.

I think you do - they've crept up intp the mix almost unnoticed - cleraly in better form than Barrow right now. Unless someone's form collapses badly it does look like all the rest (Harrogate, Morecambe etc) are competing for one place in the playoffs. Morecambe are the one team we haven't ye seen of course - we should know more about them on Saturday week.

No, you're right. But then when I asked the same question at about the same time last season, I wasn't asking we'd be relegated or whatever, just points. Points mean different things in different seasons depending how competitive a league is.
Anyway, the question is just for a bit of fun! Try it!

ITM, there are still a few people unwilling to stick their necks out. I'll close the list on Sunday after the Notts County game.

After due consideration, I will plump for 79 points

Dont know about points predictions but automatic promotion is still on the cards and that is all that matters.

Despite the spoilsports, I am revising upwards. Now saying 81 points.

OK we have 61 points with 36 points to play for from 12 games, I think we are capable of winning 6 and drawing 3 giving us 82 points.
