Happy Fox Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 For me we will see what QPR are all about they need to win both their games in hand, and another couple for us to stand up and take notice, so approximately 5 games in that time period I am hoping we have 10-15 points on the board.
Leicesterpool Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 I think we need around seven more points to secure at least a play off place!
LCCFox96 Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 We ticked another point off the list last night. The team just need to keep avoiding defeat as we did at a last gasp yesterday and we should be fine. Picking up those wins and draws and we can make that 85-90 people want this year.
Fox92 Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 If we win our next three games and draw twice (11 points), then Charlton (22nd) cannot catch us even if they win every game (which they won't do anyway) Seriously though we're now 20 points clear of 6th place. Reading currently sit in 6th and are so inconsistent. To not get promoted, it will take a massive, massive cock up. Re-looked through our fixtures (again, seem to be doing this after every game now!) and I've got 9 games (out of 16, obviously) that I think we should be getting three points from. Considering 9 x 3 = 27 + our current total of 67 = 94... That's an estimate, and not even considering what could happen in this beautiful game ie the other teams around us losing or drawing.
sdb Posted 9 February 2014 Posted 9 February 2014 I'm getting nervous just reading this thread. I keep looking at it hoping someone is gonna come up with some crazy and simple formula that guarantees we're gonna go up regardless of what happens between now and May

Bayfox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 I've sat and studied and done the maths and from what I can work out. 1 point than 23 others should seal the title and failing that 1 more point than 22 will do.
Tom's Pasta Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Haha I love how everyone is trying to promote the team on here, sadly we've gotta let them do it themselves while we anxiously watch on
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Are we not just getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Remember the slump this time last season?
Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 We will have a clearer idea after next Saturday, Burnley and QPR both have 2 games this week while we don't play, best case scenario is we still have an 11 point lead over both, worse case it's down to 5 points then it's wide open again. It's all if's but's and maybes at the moment, the top sides never seem to lose hence most of the points needed predictions are over 90, we really need a surprise result like Bolton or Bournemouth beating Burnley. I have always thought 91 will be enough, but that points total could come down if things go our way this week.
Hack Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Are we not just getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Remember the slump this time last season? Seriously, do you enjoy being a misery guts. Has this team looked in any way like having a slump!! Give yourself an upper cut!!
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Seriously, do you enjoy being a misery guts. Has this team looked in any way like having a slump!! Give yourself an upper cut!! I'm as excited as anyone trust me on that oneHowever after last seasons collapse we should just tread with a bit of caution for a few games yet IMO
foxfanazer Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 People do realise that what we post on here doesn't affect results, right? Can we please just enjoy this season for what it is
indierich06 Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Are we not just getting a bit ahead of ourselves? Remember the slump this time last season? So we should never hope, or dream, or enjoy anything in life in case something bad happens and it all turns to shit? There seems to be a few on here who follow the 'never get your hopes up and you'll never be disappointed' motto. Certainly not the way I want to live my life.
Happy Fox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 85-88 points should secure automatic promotion, if it is higher than that means that all teams below us are hardly losing games! Fore the title - 94-96 points should be enough. So the first step is securing automatic promotion so 6-7 wins should be enough.

There seems to be a few on here who follow the 'never get your hopes up and you'll never be disappointed' motto. Certainly not the way I want to live my life. No need for anyone to be melodramatic just being a little cautious after last season that's allPersonally think we will go up this season as we would certainly have to throw it away now
Bert Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Win all of our home games and we will do it. Although I'd say there's a chance that won't happen, if we keep picking up points here and there away from home we should do enough. Still a long way to go. Everyone has still got to play each other again in and around the top 6.
weller54 Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Home to QPR game is the one!!.. Win that and we can warm up the fat lady!!!!
harpendenfox Posted 10 February 2014 Posted 10 February 2014 Slightly off topic, but I reckon if we beat Forest away, the finish line will be that much closer than the mere three points suggests. That might sound daft, but we'd move to 70 points with 15 games remaining. We'd have beaten a top of the table rival unbeaten in ages. We'd have continued our own long unbeaten run. I think the collective belief that would give the players, yet alone us, would be unstoppable. Don't get me wrong it's far from being the end of the world if we don't beat them. Do we dare to dream?

Socks Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 After38.com worth a look. Make predictions based on form etc They predict we'll hit 92 points. Qpr to finish second with 84 94.42 to be precise they also think we will lose against forest http://after38.com/after38Leagues.aspx?league=E1
Steven Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 Npower Championship after38 Predicted League Table Pos Team P Pts 1 Leicester 46 94.42 2 Burnley 46 84.62 3 QPR 46 83.68 4 Derby 46 80.60 5 Nott'm Forest 46 79.94 6 Brighton 46 70.97 About right. I still think 93 is needed after last night.
dayday Posted 12 February 2014 Posted 12 February 2014 If we win 8 of our remaining 16 games,Burnley would need to win 11games and somebody else would need to win at least 12 games,now that's a big ask.......we have home games against Charlton,Yeovil,Blackpool,Sheff Wed and Doncaster,though not certain,they are very winnable games,with that in mind 3wins from the other 11games should be a breeze,so for me 91 points would be enough.
