What the 17th place team got is misleading. 35 points would have  been enough last season.

It’s generally accepted that 40 points should be enough to keep you up and therefore should be the target.

[timeEd32]

It hasn’t taken 40 points since 2010/11. If we get 37 points we’ll be fine.

[Bimpy474]

Aye survival total should probably be lowered to 38 and you'll be safe.

I’d rather not take the chances. A few points difference sent us down both times let’s not forget...

[Guest Howaythetoon]

[Guest firetotheworks]

It hasn’t taken 40 points since 2010/11. If we get 37 points we’ll be fine.

 

...hence why it's a target.

He saying the target should be lower i think. I wonder what the actual average points total to survive is.

[astraguy]

doesn't matter if its 35/40 points the point is we could be playing Sunderland/Wigan and i still never think we can grab the points.This team is utter wank

I know that's what the suggestion is, but it's daft, you obviously aim for what's going to almost certainly get you safe most of the time, which is 40 points.

[Bimpy474]

 

Indeed it's 37 as the average.

Aye agreed, you never want to go too close. I get what timeEd32 is saying but i would prefer 40+ to be sure.

Went down on 37 2 years ago

[Kaizero]

timeEd32 is having a mare.

[timeEd32]

Well obviously, I’d prefer we get 62 points. That would be comfortable too. All I’m saying is the 40 point target is a misnomer in most seasons and especially recently.

The word that's important there is target.

I went and worked it out manually, like a shmuck. 36.81 points is the points total needed on average over the past 22 years, a low of 31 and a high of 43.

[Dokko]

9.

 

Need to sign 4 prem quality players to be within a shout of staying up. Can't beat the worst team at home, can't even match them for possession. something major has to happen or its good night.

[Guest firetotheworks]

Possession means fuck all tbh.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Possession means f*** all tbh.

 

Especially for us...

[triggs]

Possession means fuck all tbh.

Aye we weren't trying to match them for possession. The reason they kept losing the ball in their own half was because that was our plan

Got to love the dedication 

 

Looking back at the league over the years, the first ten years of the Premiership it's over 40 to stay up, the last dozen or so it's been below 40.

 

We need to get out more on a Saturday night 

[Bimpy474]

Leicester won the league by ten points with less possessions than a tramp.

Remember, there were extra matches in the first couple of seasons.
