Yor are even more of a pessimist than I am!
I have fretted about "R" since the season began. Recon another 2 points and we can relax and sit to watch who goes through the trapdoor. Millwall and Derby please

Well done SW again for following through with this thread. One correction on your top post is that we are actually 4 points ahead of last year at the same time. Nic pointed this out on another thread last evening - and our GD is better by 4.
That's correct WK we are indeed 4 pts better off, even better than I thought
Will start another thread after 30 games to keep it going.

Bookies, on the other hand, don’t deal in emotions like optimism and pessimism - just hard cold analysis.
This morning Paddy Power had us 1/12 to be promoted. We are now 1/16.

Apologies Davy!
I had checked the map only recently and hadn’t seen anyone listed for anywhere in Meath (as I thought) but now I do
Should have known you’d have been all over it!
They tend to get absorbed within the Dublin setup - a common problem for many of the Leinster crowd

Last season we got 18 points from games 21-30, so hopefully at least 18 this season. I would put us winning the Cardiff and Preston games too to give us 22 points from the games and on 65 points after 30 games. If we are there then I will be very happy.

It's a crucial 10 games. Take last season at the 20 game stage, top 6 was
Code: Select all
Pos Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Norwich City 20 12 4 4 35 22 13 40
2 Leeds United 20 11 6 3 33 17 16 39
3 West Br Albion 21 10 6 5 44 30 14 36
4 Middlesbrough 20 9 8 3 22 13 9 35
5 Nott Forest 20 8 10 2 32 21 11 34
6 Sheffield United 20 10 4 6 32 24 8 34
Ten games later top 3 was
Code: Select all
Pos Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Norwich City 30 16 9 5 57 39 18 57
2 Leeds United 30 17 6 7 50 34 16 57
3 Sheffield United 30 16 6 8 50 31 19 54
We got 18 points to blades 20. And then in the next 10 we got 19 to blades 23 and Norwich's 27
Code: Select all
Pos Team Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts
1 Norwich City 40 25 9 6 82 48 34 84
2 Sheffield United 40 23 8 9 67 37 30 77
3 Leeds United 40 23 7 10 66 42 24 76
4 West Bromwich Albion 40 20 10 10 75 52 23 70
We really need to maintain a PPG above 2, another 43 points from the next 20 should do.

We keep grinding out wins & are definitely a better side than last year but...what a Xmas calendar we have!!
I'm only looking at the next 6 games but 4 of those are against teams in the top 8.
Then, of course, we have Arsenal away which will probably end up being a formality.
Bring it on! MOT!!
