The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[ChicagoLion]

Today was a bad day but you're always going to have them in this division.

Newcastle lost home and away to Blackburn last season.

Worry if we don't beat Sunderland and Ipswich. I expect a decent points haul up to xmas.

Loving the table at the bottom btw. Will be some good trips for Walsall next year.

How many more bad days in this division can we afford?

Loads. Newcastle lost 10 times last season. Today was only our fourth defeat with just over a third of the season gone.

You could feasibly lose 15 games and get promoted if you barely drew a game.

We're still in the top 6 aren't we?

Yes and top 6 is the new top 2apparently.

[SoccerHQ]

I want top 2 but let's at least establish ourselves in the play offs and try to build from there.

We all do mate, I just don’t think Bruce will do it.

[SoccerHQ]

I think we'll finish top 6 comfortably.

I agree lots of work to do to get top 2.

[ez]

I can see us nearly getting top 2.

[Meanwood Villa]

If Leeds and Boro both win then we'll be out of top 6. Derby and Ipswich both have games in hand as well. Nonetheless overall I'm reasonably pleased with our record since the last international break, I was worried about it beforehand. Minimum 10 points from next 5 to cement top 6 and hopefully cut gap to top 2.

[QuintonVilla]

We're going nowhere with one fit centre half. Samba doesn't count.

December looks as tough as fuck.

Leeds are losing (Brentford will be in top 6 soon with form they're in).

Boro may win but they've been on an awful run recently let's not forget.

We draw too many to make up for the defeats. Imagine never drawing like Sheff Utd, it must be amazing. Still, with their resources it's difficult to compete.

Add them and now Wednesday to the growing list.

[SoccerHQ]

Sheff Weds wage bill actually probably not that far off ours.

Look at how much their forwards cost, Rhodes was 10m and nearly as useless for them as Hogan is for us.
