Realistic points total for the season - now that the Transfer window has closed

[Happy Fox]

3 points a game average so far, that's not going to continue but definitely feel 2 points an average is achievable so think we could definitely get 90 plus points which would be amazing and surely see us finish in that top 2. What do you think?

[Heathrow fox]

I think the biggest opponent Leicester face this season is boredom.Boredom of winning every week.

[Aus Fox]

Anything less than 138 and the whole season is a failure 

[MattFox]

Think we can beat our 13/14 points record under Nigel if we went for it

A lot of unhatched chickens being counted in this thread.  

[Bilo]

Not making any predictions. We could easily have a shitshow like Southampton have had today.

 

107 points. 

[lozzyblue fox]

On today's performance 50

[Bezzanator89]

Realistically 80-90. We need more goals from our strikers to bump it up to over 90pts for the season, and put us as automatic promotion certainties.

[ClaphamFox]

12

[Leicester_Loyal]

87.

[kristianity77]

We've got 12 out of 15 which is a good start but we don't really deserve to be on 12 with our performances. We have ridden our luck with late winners it could never continue. 

 

If our performance levels stay roughly where they are now I can see us being in the top 6 still.  But for me, I haven't seen us play a game yet where I've thought we were a cut above the rest in this league.

 

So with all that, I think we will end up between 70 and 80 points but it could and should be so much higher.

I wish I was bored right now 😭

I think we need to calm down a bit. We were humbled today and haven’t exactly won comfortably yet. This is a tough league and a ling season. I think we are rightfully favourites but I think its a coin flip that we’ll secure enough points for auto promotion.

Yeah, about that...

[Pliskin]

Still got to be winning it. We can start shitting the bed if we start losing more games in a row. 
 

 

But there was enough in that game to see that it’s more of a gelling issue than a major issue. 

[Happy Fox]

We are on track: 2.67 points per game is title winning form, we can afford a drop off and still be good enough to finish in the Top 2.

107 sounds a crazy total, but.....

 

Having played 9 games, we 'only need 83 points from 37 games. A team winning the Premier league this year, if you think they will have 83 points from 37 games you would think 'yeah, that's do-able'.... we can do this!

[LCFCJohn]

It’ll be interesting to see if this side can beat the total set by our team of 10 years ago firstly (102). 
 

Obviously that highest total set by Reading would be something to aim for but it does take phenomenal and relentless form across the entire season to achieve that! 

[Gazza M]

90 would do me. That will be more than enough. 66 points from 37 games to go. Not much more than play off form to go now.

This article here shows really how bitter some people can be - all the other teams have glowing reviews of what they achieved and ours....clearly a Forest fan writing it....

[filbertway]

Unless we suffer a massive injury crisis, this squad should genuinely be hitting 100+ points.

 

We're basically the Man City of this league and one of our main rivals is managed by an absolute clown. I think someone was right above, our toughest opponent will be our own mental strength and will to keep winning when it all feels so straight forward

 

Luckily for us, our manager seems to have extremely high standards and I can't see him letting them slip. Our previous manager would be too busy admiring how incredibly talented he is.

 

[Fox92]

With the squad we have we should be looking at 100 minimum. I'm yet to see a team better than us. Of course we will lose a game here and there but over the course of a season we should be consistently better than most, if not all, our opposition.

[coolhandfox]

If we take from here point per game wise; 

 

2    = 98 points  

1.8 = 90 points 

1.7 = 87 points

1.6 = 83 points

1.5 = 80 points 

(rounding to the nearest whole number) 

 

The average point total for 3rd in the last nine years is 85, with no 3rd place team getting more than 89.  

 

So if we average above 1.7 from here, we should be promoted.  

 

So, something like 17 wins, 12 Draws, and 8 loses. 

Or 20 wins, 4 Draws and 13 losses. 

 

[Finnegan]

I really don't like how much we're getting dragged in to this sort of arrogance after only a few games. Yes, we've looked largely a step above everyone we've player so far (including Southampton and Norwich) but pride comes before the fall etc and it's a long season. 

 

We're only an injury to Winks or Hermansen away from having to completely refine our plan or face a considerable drop in performance. 

 

I can't see the squad having the same complacency but still I don't think this is a great look on us as fans.
