Re: Play Offs
6 points behind Stockport (5th)with a game in hand.
If we knick a win at Bristol Rovers on New years day & they lose to Birmingham its 3 with a game in hand

Re: Play Offs
Pretty disappointing that my assumption failed. However, back on track with 2 wins (Shrews & Posh), which will bring down the requirement to 1.81 points per game. Then game on!Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2024 1:18 pm 78 points should do it. 60 points required from 29 games. 2.07 points per game but assuming we win our next 6 then a far more manageable 1.83 for the 2nd half of the season. Barring injuries on our way to the EFL Trophy and 6th round of the FA Cup I’m feeling fairly confident. Up the Os!

Re: Play Offs
Indeed . We're only four points outside the playoff places so we have given ourselves a great chance this season .

Re: Play Offs
It really all hinges on how far Nigel and his new pals are willing to reach into their pockets.

Re: Play Offs
1.9047 points per game now required. Manageable but needs to be closer to a par 1.7, which gets 78 point from 46 games. As good as there when we win our next 3 league games, after Tuesday’s step closer to our first Wembley day out of the season.

Re: Play Offs
This is nonsense.
We just need to get as many points as the teams behind us then 2 out of the following 3 - same points as Stockport, 1 more point than Barnsley or 3 more points than Reading.
It’s absolutely achievable.

Re: Play Offs
Indeed it is but it’s in our own hands if we get 78 points. Only 1 season in the last 10 would that have not got a play off place.Hoover Attack wrote: ↑Sun Jan 19, 2025 10:06 amThis is nonsense.

Re: Play Offs
That’s my point. It’s not in our hands if we achieve an arbitrary number you’ve decided upon. It’s in our hands if we match or better as I’ve detailed.

Re: Play Offs
Win on Tuesday and we will belatedly be beneath the original 1.82 points per game requirement. After that I’ll give some thought to the auto spot. Although promotion is more fun via the playoffs.

Re: Play Offs
Win our game in hand on wrexham & beat them away we'd only be 5 points behind them.
Still not sure if Wycombe losing Bloomfield will mean they fade away. Wrexham are crap away from home
Huddersfield are strange. Dropped points for fun then 16 unbeaten & lose today.
A big if but are automatics totally out of the question should we keep winning?

Re: Play Offs
I remember Wrexham perfectly. The season turned on a home game vs Lincoln in December, and was aided by Kevin Campbell on loan.Loyal_Supporter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 10:35 pmNever experienced us getting promoted via the play offs!Orient Punxx wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2025 10:03 pmWin on Tuesday and we will belatedly be beneath the original 1.82 points per game requirement.
