I start off with 20
Higher or lower?
-
How many do you need to get out of it?
-
The best I see without Moyes or Pearson is a late scramble for the playoffs so 20 could be about right. With Moyes we will cruise into one of the automatic places. With Pearson we will either smash them all or get relegated again.
-
46.
-
14. Cant see us coming straight back up.
-
27.
-
All of the fuckers!
-
At the moment, we only need to win 4 league games for it to be an improvement!
-
I'll stick my neck out and say more than this season. Maybe.
-
As our squad stands, about 10 games if we're lucky.
Ship out all the c^^ts and sign the right kind of senior player and we should finish top 4, and ideally top 2.

28

There will only be TWO " MUST WIN " games !

There will only be TWO " MUST WIN " games !
For the opposition, yes, but we aim higher than that.
-
How many do you need to get out of it?
24 or 25 by my reckoning.
Have we won that many games in the last three seasons?
-
I would imagine no where near that past 3 years. Utter disgrace how this has happened.
-
Working backwards and covering the last 11 years, the points needed to finish second are 87, 86, 78, 87, 81, 80, 81, 76, 85, 82, 86.
Just to be clear, that's not the points the second placed teams necessarily finished on, but what was needed to finish 1 point above 3rd place.
-
Ooh, those look scarily big numbers.

Bloody hell, I thought you might have been kidding. But the answer is no. So we have to win more games next season than we have the past three combined.

We haven't won that many home games in the last five...!
-
Assuming we don't win again this season, it will be 23 league wins over the last 3 seasons.
How is this for some 'fun' facts.
Last time we won more than 10 league games in a season was 10/11 under Houllier.
Last time we won 10 home games was 2007/08 when we won 10.
Last time we won more than 10 homes games, 02/03 under SGTII. We won 11.
-
We've won around a total of 40 league games since Houllier left and that was in Jun 2011.
Us winning 25/26 games next season even in a lower league is kind of hard to imagine actually happening.
-
Tough league this year, Middlesborough are on 85 now with 4 games left and they're still not certs.
-
The home form has been woeful for years. We're too nice and soft a side to play at something like Villa Park, which motivates the opposition with its history and opulence.
-
Not many unless we fire sale most of the squad and get a winning hard core manager in. A good start is essential. Big VP crowds and massive away following.
-
The answer is nowhere near enough
-

You were very brave and then you go and spoil it with maybe!

We haven't won that many home games in the last five...!
We haven't been in the second division for 28 years so no point in looking at what we did in the last 5.
-
We will probably need 25 wins to make the playoff.
27-28 wins to finish top 2.
-
There will only be TWO " MUST WIN " games !
The ones against Newcastle to see who goes up as champions.?
-
We will probably need 22-25 wins to make the playoff.
26-28 wins to finish top 2.

We heard you the first time 😉

I meant to edit, but quoted instead.

Looking at 25 plus , Boro who are top have 26 vs Burnley in 2nd with 23 as it stands

I posted without double-checking but was fairly sure we hadn't. It has been grim for a very long time. It is true that comparing the top flight with the Championship is a bit 'apples and oranges'. Still, that losing mentality is deeply ingrained and will be hard to shake off. We will need to hit the ground running, learn how to be professional and close tight games out.
Easy....

A major change in culture must occur before we even begin to imagine winning the amount of games required to go up next year. Seriously, don't hold your breath.

i can see us winning one, drawing one and losing one and finishing around tenth
we will be the scalp everyone wants and without a major overhaul and an injection of bottle i can see us shitting it
-
We'll be screwed if we only manage 4 points next season!
-
If the five parasites are still here, no more than ten.
If they're gone, then more than 20.
-
What's a win?
-
Thinking with my head and, not my heart. If we don't shift the bulk of the current squad, I think we'll be flirting with relegation but, stop up by the skin of our teeth. If we get some decent players in, I think we could have a good shot at promotion but, for that to happen, we need a complete change of culture at our great Club.
-
There will only be TWO " MUST WIN " games !
The ones at the end April to confirm promotion as champions?
-
What's a win?
I've forgotten as well.
But I know we get three points for it!
-
Can we come back and answer this question on, say, September 1st?
-
Fuck the fuckers what ever it takes

And fuck em once more for luck

And fuck em once more for luck
Elton John being a football man would say that's not for luck that's for fun.

Well if we Kiki Dee football into the goal more times than the other team we shall win more than we lose

Very good.

As things stand, I can honestly see us winning five or even six games next season.
-
Going to change my answer. It was given in the knowledge we had a competent board structure for the first time in years. In light of them leaving, I will say 11. With 13 draws. The rest defeats. Does a point a game keep you in the championship? Does it matter?
