Sorry to start yet another thread, but wasn’t sure where else to put this.
How many points needed to stay up? Ive been looking through the fixtures, and I believe 21 points would be enough, taking us to 52 points in total. So thats 7 wins. Is that achievable? Winning 7 of the 9 home games would do it.

Would be ironic after last seasons near miss that we become the team to go down with the highest amount of points in a season in L1.

50 points might be enough. But 7 home wins out of 9 will be very difficult to achieve, as we are playing a number of the top sides.
At least a couple of away wins are badly needed.

I can’t see sides below us getting many more than 21 points.

I can’t see sides below us getting many more than 21 points. All the teams around us have put little runs together. I think we are probably the only club in this division not to put a decent run of form together so far. Can u see us staying unbeaten in our next 6 league fixtures.

Drawing too many games, desperately need a run of wins to ease the pressure a little.

Can u see us staying unbeaten in our next 6 league fixtures. 57-61 is far more than will be needed to stay up. Nobody will ever be relegated with 56 points. In the past 11 seasons, there have been 3 occasions when 51 points was needed to survive, and 50 points and goal difference was enough for one of those seasons. Nobody has needed as many as 52 in the last 11 seasons. Starting from last season, the number of points you'd have needed to be one ahead of 21st place is: 51, 50, 47, 51, 48, 49, 44, 48, 50, 50, 49. So 20 points from 18 games would almost certainly be enough. That's 7 wins but, more realistically, 5 wins/5 draws or something like. Only Rochdale's last 5 games have produced a lower points total than ours but all runs come to an end, good or bad. A notable feature this season is that the mid-table is very soft. Blackpool may be as high as 8th, as Ricketts was keen to point out yesterday, but we're as close to them in points as they are to 6th place and we've even scored more than them. There don't appear to be any realistic play off contenders below Doncaster in 7th but a bad run could easily see any team from 8th down drawn into the relegation scr@p. It's obvious we need to do better but I don't expect this run to go on indefinitely. We can do better. Bit depressing to be talking about relegation after last season though.

Yes agreed, given the fact that it is so congested in lower mid-table it means many teams will both take 3 points when they play each other and make it an all time high for points required to avoid promotion.

If you add to the fact that Blackpool "could " get 12 pts deducted early Feb as well would mean 50 definitely being enough. Having said all this, if we loose at Bradford a week Tuesday we really will be in the mix...

Essentially, the whole meaty bit of the league is separated by... three wins!
8 Blackpool 27 +2 39 9 Coventry 29 -3 39 10 Southend 28 +4 38 11 Wycombe 28 -2 38 12 Fleetwood 28 +5 36 13 Burton 28 0 36 14 Accrington 27 -9 35 15 Walsall 28 -11 35 16 Sc***horpe 29 -17 34 17 Shrewsbury 28 -6 31 18 Gillingham 28 -9 31 19 Rochdale 29 -24 31 20 Oxford 28 -9 30 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 21 Plymouth 28 -14 30 22 Bristol Rovers 28 -5 28
