Sirpie is needed

I don;t know I feel better or not with Sirpies stats , as brill as they are .

At the moment I just need a little reassuring that we are in as good place and we are heading for the promised land !!

Makes me feel a bit better when I hear that other teams have got to play each other and nick points off each other !!

Not wishing to steal SirPie's thunder...

If you go by the form guide (after todays match), using points per game (PpG, first figure below) over the last 8 matches and extrapolate over the remaining games, you get the following points totals which leaves us short of auto promotion.

PpG Total
Nottingham Forest 2.37 93
Watford 2.37 89
Norwich City 2.12 87
Queens Park Rangers 1.37 78
Reading 1.87 77
Millwall 1.87 75
Leeds United 1.62 74
Cardiff City 1.37 73
Hull City 1.87 73
Swansea City 1.37 72
Leicester City 1.75 71

Obviously, with a couple of wins, things can change dramatically.

But I believe it shows our current form is not good enough to win the championship. Maybe the tide has turned today?

Points totals of 2nd placed teams:
2010 WBA 91
2009 BCFC 83
2008 SCFC 79
2007 BCFC 86
2006 SUFC 90
2005 WAFC 87
2004 WBA 86
2003 LCFC 92
2002 WBA 89
2001 BRFC 91

Average is 87 though Stoke went up with 79 a few years ago.

I like look of our February and April fixtures and agree that 10 more wins gives us it.

[PedalR]

ps Average points tally for 6th place is 73 (though 70 has been enough in 2 of last 3 years). So, even the most negatively minded Rs fan can take some comfort that we're probably only 5 or 6 wins and a few draws from a play-off spot.

[Yousef]

I think we can go up with even 80 points because the other sides have been dropping many points.
