timeEd32 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 What the 17th place team got is misleading. 35 points would have been enough last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It’s generally accepted that 40 points should be enough to keep you up and therefore should be the target. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 It hasn’t taken 40 points since 2010/11. If we get 37 points we’ll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Aye survival total should probably be lowered to 38 and you'll be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few points difference sent us down both times let’s not forget... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saying the target should be lower i think. I wonder what the actual average points total to survive is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
astraguy Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He saying the target should be lower i think. I wonder what the actual average points total to survive is. 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 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Indeed it's 37 as the average. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye agreed, you never want to go too close. I get what timeEd32 is saying but i would prefer 40+ to be sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Indeed it's 37 as the average. 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 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggs Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
