What points total constitutes progress this season?

[HighPeakFox]

Sick & tired of all the childish nonsense I keep reading, so I've gone for a poll that uses a potential points total as a barometer here. 

 

Pick your total and please give your considered reasons - let's see if we can avoid destructive non-arguments...'yeah but style of play' opinions are of course taken as read, I think/hope we can all agree we'd like to see lots of goals and liquid football in a perfect world.

One more point than last season.

Beat me to it Babs ...     you’ve really got the bit between your teeth for those 20,000 reps !! ...

50+ is progress, finished on 47 last season, so the equivalent of 1 more win

[Ted Maul]

47 last year so 50-54 can be considered good progress, especially considering we lost by far our most creative player in the summer.

 

We're in a strong position to get 55-59 if we maintain our form though which would be a fantastic improvement.

More or less exactly how I think about it too.

Still won't be enough for the Puel haters whatever the points tally.

The only thing Puel haters hate more than Puel is Premier League points

league position rather than points for me! top 10 is progress as such but perhaps wouldn't please a lot of people if we didn't get Europa league!

I was wondering if I could combine it with league position, but points total seems less divisive somehow,

260 to go.

[Poznan34]

31 in 21 this season so far. If we keep that up we're on course for 56 points. (1.48 ppg x 38)

Absolutely - does that mean progress? It does for me.

Already some cheeky fecker who thinks we need 13 more points than last year to call it progress

really odd actually, as we can't be sure where we'd finish; when in reality its around 6 more wins out of remaining games. i'd have thought most who aren't happy with the manager atm wouldn't be pleased with that in truth?

You know you can click on the icon on the right to see who that person was, right

There will always be outliers...and that sort of vote is quite revealing really.

[baldeagle]

Any points more than last year is an improvement but for me 50-54 would be real progress anything below is almost standing still

If we are to repeat our points per game average, then 56 points is forecasted. Burnley finished 7th last year on 54 points. so in theory if we keep this up we should be reaching our "target" if it indeed is.

[Ric Flair]

50+ otherwise it will feel exactly like last season where we let our season fizzle out after being in pole position to be the best of the rest. We are Mahrezless now so slightly more points than last season is progress but I think we have got to average more than a point a game for the rest of the season otherwise he'll be off.

Definitely agree that league position is more important than points total. I would be happy with less points if it came with a higher league position than last season. People put far too much importance on points. We won the league with 81 points. 3 years earlier that would have only been good enough for 4th place.

 

Position is more important than points total.
