10 more wins this season gets us to a point that would have got you promoted in the last few seasons. With the teams below us continuing to take points off each other it seems a likely number for automatic promotion. 25 games to get them in!

11 imo

7th place got 77 points
3rd got 80 & 1st got 84 .
25 games & 75 points available ,
Roll on the Good times

Don't count your chickens !

Kevin Nolans long gone Nep '

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to remind ourselves of Forest Green last season. They were running away with the title and then just made it on goal difference. And were in the end only four points above fourth spot.

Llloooonnngggg way still to go.

Still need to get through the January transfer window to see if anyone leaves.

We are in a great position, no doubt about that, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

They didnt have SUPER RICH!E WELLENS , Up The O's

Maybe a countdown to 39 points is needed as 90 points should see us promoted comfortably

We have 4 points more than FGR had after 21 games last season. The 3 top teams this season have more points per game than last seasons top3 at the same stage, the chasing teams have fewer. This could well suggest that 4th place will have fewer points at the end of this season.

Bristol Rovers, who finished 3rd, were back in 18th place so there could be a surprise. I think Wimbledon could be that team this season

1.4 points per game.

One game at a time , this is the O'S your talking about

I think a win vs Stevenage and the league is ours

Six points from Stevenage, and I’d like to put it on record that I would not be responsible for my behaviour …

Whats the track record of teams in our position winning promotion (not that I think there is any doubt). I know we were top at Christmas in 2013, we finished third with 86 points (so did 4th) so would have gone up if it was lg 2

This post has taken longer than I'd have liked, but 9 more wins, 21 games to go.

Hopefully not a bum clenching 3rd place , that I think might happen. But what ever happens, the boys done good

We are going up. We are the best team in the league. We have a great squad, a top, top manager, decent recruitment (last January not withstanding) and I have not seen a better L2 team this season bar Northampton when we faced them at home. We will be champions before the King's coronation.

I F@cking LOVE this CLUB !

We signed Jordan Brown last January !!

Over the last dozen completed seasons, top spot has ranged from 82 to 99 points, averaging 88.5; third spot between 78 and 85 points, averaging 82.

So I guess if we’re looking at a target for automatic, it’d be 85 points, which is another 29 points from 21 games, an average of 1.38 points per game. That kind of form would currently have us around 13th/ 14th in the table.

Complacency definitely not needed, am sure RW won’t allow it, but we should really knock that off given what we’ve done so far this season.
