How many points do we need?

Post by johnnysmiles »

A friend of mine (Watford fan) thinks we only need 3 more wins.

What does everyone think?

I think realistically we need 11 more points from a possible 21. 4 wins out of 7 would be excellent

The current maths says 4 but 3 will be enough. Brentford aren't going unbeaten in the run home.

Mathematically we need 14 out of 21 - 4 wins and 2 draws - which would put us on 88 points. If Brentford win all their games they can only get 87 points.
Realistically 3 wins would probably be enough. We'd be on 83 points leaving Brentford to win 6 of their 7 matches (or 5 wins, 2 draws and better GD).

Never mind unbeaten, it wouldn't shock me if they won all their games TBH.

Derby are going to have a say in things one way or the other.

Enough ;)

I always suggested 88 points, and whilst it is still possible to get 88,
I think that 84 will see us going up :thumbup: :clap:

4 or more wins should do it, Swansea and Derby are the dodgy games where we might struggle.
Owners come and go but Leeds United will be there forever, for the fans - keep Marching on Together.
