Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 Would like to beat that 106 point record, despite the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 Sky's the limit. If you asked me to predict the score for every remaining game, I'd predict victory in every single one. I think we'll do MK at their gaff . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies, Damn Lies & Statistics Written by Matt Davis Tuesday, 03 February 2009 The facts for the last 20 years in our current division: Being the sad statistics man that I am, I’ve been reading up on the final points total in our current division (called division 3,2 then 1 depending on the year!). All I wanted to see was what points total we need to 1) make the play offs, 2) be promoted and 3) to go up as champions. The results are as follows (and are after the Walsall match i.e. 29 games played and 67 points): To make the play off’s i.e. finish sixth: The (mean) average points total over the last 20 years in order to make sixth place is 75 points. We are currently on 67 points with 17 games to play. This would therefore require a further 8 points out of a remaining 51 points to play for. Word of caution: The best points total over this 20 year period that was required to make sixth place was 82 in the 1999/00 season for Stoke City. Word of optimism: The worst points total over this 20 year period that was required to make sixth place was 69 in the 1989/90 season for Bolton...... To make automatic promotion i.e. to finish second: The (mean) average points total over the last 20 years in order to make second place is 85 points. We are currently on 67 points with 17 games to play. This would therefore require a further 18 points out of a remaining 51 points to play for. Word of caution: The best points total over this 20 year period that was required to make second place was 91 in the 1989/90 for Bristol City & 2000/01 for Rotherham. Word of optimism: The worst points total over this 20 year period that was required to make second place was 81 in the 1991/92 season for Birmingham. To go up as champions: The (mean) average points total over the last 20 years in order to be crowned champions is 91 points. We are currently on 67 points with 17 games to play. This would therefore require a further 24 points out of a remaining 51 points to play for. Word of caution: The best points total over this 20 year period that was achieved to be crowned champions was 101 in the 1998/99 season for Fulham. Word of optimism: The worst points total over this 20 year period that was achieved to be crowned as champions was 82 in the 1991/92 season for Brentford & in the 2005/06 for Southend Please don’t tell Nigel Pearson I’ve been dreaming already, but I hope you found these snippets from Matt (Motson) Davis a worthwhile read!!!

Kilworthfox Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 By my calculations, I reckon we will hit 101 points... 17 games remain, 10 wins (30 points), 4 draws (4 points), 3 defeats (Unlikely ) So 34 points plus the 67 we have = 101 What do you guys think? More? Less? Anyone else done some maths? Why would we lose 3 in 17 When we have only lost 2 in 29? We are on course for 106 or 107 points, which would be a record!

carterfox90 Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 just to get past 100 points will be a great seasons total .....i bet the teams in the championship are already shaking in their boots at the thought of having to play us next year :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carterfox90 Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 That WOULD be AWESOME!!!!! now thats what dreams are made of that would just top the season off nicely to rub salt in their wounds oh god please let it happen amen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilworthfox Posted 4 February 2009 Share Posted 4 February 2009 nerves? other teams having more to play for than us when/if we become mathematically clear? I don't believe that for a second! Just think back to Brighton when we were 2 up and lost 3 v 2, and now the difference in games like Huddersfield away & home, Carlisle away, Northampton away, each time we have been calm when behind and showed our attributes to not panic and just play football and work hard. Pearson has given the team a backbone that I have not seen in years and always wished for Leicester to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
