god look at the goals against total. Horrendous. We were always going to struggle with the defence Bruce was planning to use. I'd say in hindsight, but it was fucking obvious to most of us before we kicked a ball,

[adrenachrome]

Only 2 clubs have scored more goals than us(Norwich and WBA) but only 2 sides have conceded more!

On FootyStats there is an an index named BTTS:

BTTS : List of teams with the highest number of matches where both teams scored. Stats from team's Domestic League runs only.

In this category we are 2nd with 72% behind WBA(75%).

Chester`s form seemed to drop off a cliff since we lost Johnson and Terry from the back

Also whilst playing with an injury (for most of the season) along with new goal keepers lacking confidence (and ability) as well as 3 right backs playing along a back 4.

Point gained today, what a time to be alive!

Currently if we average the same points per game as we have now, until the end of the season, we'll have 66 points. That would be 12th in last years final table.
If we average 2 points per remaining game, 75 points and just into the play offs.
3 points per game, unlikely I know, but we can dream, and its 91 points and we do a Cardiff and go up automatically.

Nurse, nurse get me some more medication!!!!

At a guess I think a few points less than 75 will be good enough for 6th this season, 72-73 would be my guess based on how the league is playing out.

[Villafirst]

Play-offs are becoming remote. Teams above also have a game in hand. The defence left by Bruce has basically screwed us. Far too many goals conceded.

[KRS]

...and a midfield full of shite.

[eddiemunster]

Current points per game until the end of the season, would see us with 61 points. Another year in the Championship "Paradise" then.

[Villa Lew]

I think we can put the Swingometer to bed for another season!

[Toronto Villa]

We need to win on Saturday, Jack gets through unscathed and then go hell for leather with McGinn back and on a fully changed battery.

[eddiemunster]

Sorry T V,but as Villa Lew said, we can put the Swingometer to bed for another season.
We have 12 games, yes just 12 games left in the season, unless we somehow manage to get in the playoffs.
So 12 wins would give us 81 points.
Our current points per game would give us 61 points.
Even at an average of 2 points per game, we would only finish on 69 points, which I very much doubt would get us in the playoffs.

[Clampy]

I don't think we should totally give up on the play offs but it is looking like it might be best if we have a proper crack at it next season.
