Canuck Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Looking through the CCC tables from the last few years it looks like 92 points does the business. We are currently on track for 89. Looking for a ray of sunshine on a dark day at NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 92 will most likely get you 1st place. I'd be hopeful that 80 would get us 2nd place and automatic promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have no doubts we'll gain automatic promotion. I honestly don't see two teams coming above us, the quality of team isn't that impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 80-90 would likely get automatic spot, 90 plus the league itself, though it is worth pointing out though theres plenty of time to go all of the sides at the top are being fairly inconsistent lately Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 92 will most likely get you 1st place. I'd be hopeful that 80 would get us 2nd place and automatic promotion. If we win our next game we will have 30 points at just about 1 /3 of the way through the season. On target for 90. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMag Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have no doubts we'll gain automatic promotion. I honestly don't see two teams coming above us, the quality of team isn't that impressive. You've gan an' cuuursed us now. We are 3 points* away from 10th place FFS. *(okay I just checked and its 4 points, but still...) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 the most consistent team on current form is cardiff, as ofcourse they have the ccc top scorer....remember him? They have what we dont, a consistent and experienced striker. Cant deny i would love to see us win the trophy and not just finish 2nd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 The way the league is going this year, and the way we've performed in some games, I'd snap your hand off second. We've played poorly in some games and came away with points, but the table doesn't lie. The quality of the division is relatively low but we're the team that everyone wants to beat, it's going to be up and down with regards to form. We've seen in the past that it doesn't matter much whether you finish 1st or 2nd once you get to the Premiership. I don't care about winning the trophy.

leazes.ender Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 More than 2 points per game would generally see you through. Roughly that corresponds to 16 points per block of 8 games, or 5 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats per 8 games. 1st block of 8 - 19 points (6 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat) = 2.375 2nd block of 8 - 8 points (2 wins, 2 draws, 2 defeats) with 2 games left = 1.333 Overall - 27 points from 42 = 1.929 per game Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 2008-09: Wolves (90pts), Birmingham (83pts) 2007-08: West Brom (81pts), Stoke (79pts) 2006-07: Sunderland (88pts), Birmingham (86pts) 2005-06: Reading (106pts), Sheff Utd (90pts) 2004-05: Sunderland (94pts), Wigan (87pts) Average 1st place points: 91.8pts Average 2nd place points: 85pts So if we aim for 85, we've got a good chance. As leazes-ender said, we're averaging 1.929 points per game, giving 88.7 points total. Keep this up, we might just scrape it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 92 is a lock, high 80's most likely sends us up. On track for 89 looks good. Having said that; when Colo, Taylor and Super Shola get back in the side we will see if this can be sustained. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Does it really matter what points would get you up in the past? The only fact which matters is that currently we are on course to finish as champions due to the fact that we sitting in first place. Keep up the current trend and we are there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I think people just want a ballpark figure of how many points has been enough to go up automatically in the past. Never really payed much attention to the CCC before but usually there's one club that races away and either stays there or is reeled in by the pack and doesn't usually go up. The top of this league is very tight this year and lots of teams are dropping points on a regular basis. I'm pretty confident that if we can get our key men (Shola, Taylor & Coloccini) back then we should still go up as champions. 85+ should be enough but there's still a lot of work to put in yet.
