Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 That'd be a weird season like, only having three teams in the playoffs and six teams relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Does anybody know the record of earliest promotion? Honestly think we will be promoted at the end of March at the latest. In their record points total (106 point) year of 2005-06, Reading were promoted on March 25 according to the wiki for that season. It mightn't be the record, but you'd imagine that it wouldn't be far off. In their case, it was twenty points ahead of third with six games to play. It's only so late because of the ol' mathematical certainty. They were obviously up much earlier than that. They were 20 points ahead of third on Boxing Day, with fourth also twenty behind but with a game in hand The table for March 25 that season can be seen here. Play around with the date to see how they pulled away. After 17 games like us now, they weren't even top. http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/league-championship/2005-2006/table/2006-03-25 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Pretty sure we've got decent fixtures coming up now too. Blackburn (H) - 22nd Nottingham Forest (A) - 18th Birmingham (H) - 5th Wigan (A) - 23rd Burton (A) - 20th Sheffield Wednesday (H) - 9th Nottingham Forest (H) - 18th Blackburn (A) - 22nd Brentford (A) - 14th Rotherham (H) - 24th Yeah, four of the next five are in the bottom 6 or 7 Cant see us losing any of them, maybe a few draws in there but saying that we've only drawn once this season. not beyond realms we win 18 in a row after them 10 games and are sitting on 70 points from 27 games played Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 whats been needed points wise to get top 2 last few seasons? Over the last 5 seasons the following totals would have been enough to get promoted automatically: 89, 87, 86, 78, 87 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Gap will soon be in double figures to the playoff places, all going to plan. Only stumbling block on horizon is Shelvey ban Im still a cautious 7 but starting to consider upgrading to an eight with Norwich falling away. It won't get to a 9 or 10 till Marchish when wed have to spectacularly implode to fail if things keep going as they are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 If Shelvey has to be banned it's probably better if he gets banned now because we've got a nice cushion rather than straight after the Wolves game before we'd started our winning run. Obviously him missing the Hull game would be a bit of a bummer. He might do that anyway if he doesn't get found guilty but picks up a yellow next weekend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously him missing the Hull game would be a bit of a bummer. He might do that anyway if he doesn't get found guilty but picks up a yellow next weekend I'd rather we had him for Hull at least. There are 9 matches plus cup ties between that and our next big game against Brighton on the 28th of Jan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The difference between us and Norwich in 6th is greater than Norwich to 23rd place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'll probably have about 63 by that point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 We'll have an off-day at some point, like. Could literally be any of em. We'll lose which ever game comes after our victory at Hull. Forest is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
