Guest Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 56 points got us 5th under Sir Bobby, yet I'm sure we got more than that a couple of years after finishing 7th! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Much tougher next season. Last season burnley and hull along with Portsmouth for obvious reasons were always poorer than the rest. I think 35 will see us safe. 40+ would be a good first season back Definitely agree with this. The bottom 3 this season have been way way poorer that the rest of the league. In the summer no doubt West Ham and Wigan will spend money, Birmingham have had a class season, Stoke are ever improving. Next season will be very very tough at the bottom.

Guest toonlass Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I would be very, very happy with between 45 and 50 points tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenham Mag Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 9 wins 2 draws at home. 4 wins 4 draws away. = 45 points will do me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 56 points got us 5th under Sir Bobby, yet I'm sure we got more than that a couple of years after finishing 7th! I believe we had 57 when we finished 7th under Souness/Roeder. Like most 41. As frustrated as i'm sure i'll get being around there, safety next year will do me. That extra 1 for a little comfort.

Mr. Snrub Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Birmingham have currently got 50 points and they are in 9th, that would do just lovely. Although this season's Premier League was very weak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David28 Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I've posted 56 before. Quite optimistic but not out of reach imo considering our great home form which I hope will last for a time in the Premier League. But I think that I would be happy with lesser points (around 40, just safety) if we had an great Carling Cup/FA Cup run. Would be great to get to the final in one of them as it would mean -> Europe.

The Prophet Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 It really does depend who we buy in the summer, the current side would probably come straight back down as it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I think 35 has replaced 40 points as the "safe" number. The number needed to stay up is getting lower and lower. HOME: 6 Wins, 6 Draws, 7 Defeats AWAY: 2 Wins, 6 Draws, 11 Defeats ....gives 36 points. So winning almost one in five games will keep us up (hopefully).

Guest Roger Kint Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Would be extremely happy with 40+ with a few games left so we can enjoy the end of the season with no worries, should keep us in with matching our usual 11-15th position in the league so we are back to where we belong on the past 12 years or so where we have an average points of 50.9 since 1997/98 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 There's no way we'll need 50 points to stay up, the required total seems to be getting lower all the time. I'd be happy with anything that allows us to relax towards the end of the season, 50 would obviously be great. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Aim for 52, (Play for draws against the top 4 at home)...aim to win every other home game, get 40. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roger Kint Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Aim for 52, (Play for draws against the top 4 at home)...aim to win every other home game, get 40. You aim to win/do well in every game you play, dont agree with aiming for a certain target. Obviously 50+ would represent a fantastic season for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I reckon: 8 wins 12 draws 18 losses And that's an optimistic 36 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aim to win/do well in every game you play, dont agree with aiming for a certain target. Obviously 50+ would represent a fantastic season for us I just think it's important we aim to win every game at home, with exceptions. Anything on top of that away may be aimed for, but perhaps is mostly unrealistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewellander Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 40 points would be a decent haul in our first year back. That should be the target and go from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
