Quote from: Hookeysmith on November 26, 2019, 02:26:20 PMTo gain promotion from Championship or finish in Euro places then you need to average 2 pts per game - it was our target last year IIRCTo stay up I think 38 pts will do it so an average of 1 point per game is required.We have currently after 13 games - 14 points so on targetIf we can get 3 points from next 3 games that will maintain our average until we can play some teams where we should be favourites to win.3 draws or 1 win and 2 losses will see us ok - personally I would "Love it" if the 3 points came from beating the red cnuts on Sunday more than the others.Oh and just like Bruce and Smiths history - Smith has played Lampard 3 times as Managers and won convincingly each time 3 points from the next 3 games Man Utd, Chelsea and Leicester !I’d take one point right now

So 7 points required from 6 games :Man U AChelsea ALeicester HSheff Utd ASoton HNorwich HI reckon we will just scrape it with a point somewhere in the next 3 games and 6 points from the games after that.
Our away form needs to improve, or it'll send us down again. Joint worst away record with Everton and Norwich. Four points from nearly half the season is very poor, especially considering we've been ahead in quite a few of them.

Of the 2 that weren't again European-qualification level opposition we got robbed 1-0 in one and won 5-1 in the other.Given the opposition, I don't think our away form is that bad.
