My calculator just packed it's bags and fucked off fuming.

4 points per win and we may scrape into the playoofs

If we can just score a couple of goals in the next couple of matches we could really make up ground on a number of teams ahead of us as there are quite a few games where they play each other.
Leeds beating Derby I tjink helped us as Leeds are now only just behind Newcastle and I cant see us overtaking them, whereas win today and we are within 2 points of Derby.
Also today, Fulham (10th) play Barnsley (8th), Preston (11th) play Brighton (1st), Wednesday (6th) play Huddersfield (5th). All 3 of those as draws would be good.
Then next weekend Brighton play Wednesday, Derby play Reading, we play Preston, Barnsley play Leeds and on 24th Reading play Fulham.
Mathematically the teams ahead of us cant all get good points so if we can get 4 preferably 6 then I think we can get back to 8th going into the end of January, end of the Afcon and hopefully 3-4 new signings. Massive IF though ....

I see a slight flaw in your plan..other than that it's genius.

Making it harder by the game. The away form is entirely unacceptable.

The solution isn't within the club and that's been painfully obvious since Bristol did us.

Spot on Risso. It's time to let Bruce build a team for next year. No point making panic buys this window now but focus on replacing/selling the dross we have.

He can make a start by sticking Gabby back in the reserves.

Agreed

There's no real sign of improvement at the moment though

The results have caught up with the performances and kodjia is no longer papering over the cracks

May as well go on holiday until August

With who exactly?  Performances poor under Bruce but 1.7 points per game and none of his own players and now missing Kodja. Personally don't care how we perform as long gone as we start winning. He deserves this season and next to get us back and can't think of anyone better to turn us around

Let's do everybody a favour and shelve this thread until August. There isn't a cat in hell's chance of promotion. There hasn't been for weeks and weeks, and each week it gets that little bit less likely. Time to stop torturing ourselves now.

Promotion maths? Lets just stare at Rachel Riley, her numbers are far more interesting and make more sense.

We'll probably need to average over 2 points a game from the last 20 to get top 6. No chance is my considered verdict.

[SoccerHQ]

Only glimmer is we havefour out of our next six at home.

Even the most negative poster would realise we've been very strong at VP since SB came in so IF we can win those games we should close the gap on the top 6 at least.

Will we though...no chance with what we put out tonight.
