Optimistic Nut Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yes. What's the difference between 7th and 17th? Still stay up. Come on man. 7th means we've been good, 17th means we've had a shocking last 4 months of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Still wanting us to get the points in the bag tbh. I think we're safe now, but not looking any further than the next game ATM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordiemonster Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd have been a lot more confident were it not for those two last minute equalisers. I think the threshold for safety this year might be quite high based on how tight the league is at the moment and we still have some very hard games to come.

Heron Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 How many points is it before you physically can't be relegated? 42? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 How many points is it before you physically can't be relegated? 42? There isn't a threshold. It's just until you mathmatically can't be overtaken by the three teams in the bottom three, which fluctuates every season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 They generally see 40 points as the 'magical average' though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiemonster Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Normally by this point in the season you'd expect to have at least one time that was pretty much nailed on to go down. This year there is only 9 points between 7th and 20th! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yes. What's the difference between 7th and 17th? Still stay up. Possibly a place in Europe next year? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Yes. What's the difference between 7th and 17th? Still stay up. I said this a few months ago, the difference in prize money is like £7 million. Not a lot these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think people still saying they'd take 17th would be pretty pissed off with the squad and management if all we managed in 15 games was 3 wins and a draw or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 For the record, I was taking the piss There are 7 points between 7th and 17th. Anywhere in between these places hardly determines a good season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd have been a lot more confident were it not for those two last minute equalisers. I think the threshold for safety this year might be quite high based on how tight the league is at the moment and we still have some very hard games to come. While the league is closer overall than the season we got relegated, the bottom section is pretty much the same so far. The 17th/18th place teams have 1 point more than last time, 19th and 20th have the same number of points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Fucking hell man, support your club! I want to see us do well, not become boring also rans. All I want is to consolidate steadily and become a real force again with the ultimate goal of becoming like Arsenal are now, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to qualify for Europe and it is definitely within our grasp. It might take 5-10 years, and avoiding relegation was the first step, but if we can get there more quickly, then all the better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 As a newly promoted club, our sole aim should be staying up this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 As much as I'd love to see us pushing as high up the table as possible, I can't help but be a bit apprehensive about us getting into Europe. Second season syndrome, small squad, Europe, couldn't see it working well for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Because it's exactly the same situation isn't it. Obviously my post earlier was taking the piss, and I wouldn't take 17th. I think we could take a top 10 spot, it's there for the taking this season, and with a bit of luck, good form, not too many injuries, we're in with a shout. But all I'm saying is Europe might come a bit soon for us if we did manage to get it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
