Yes, they could, but it would mean Championship winning form for the last 14 games.
Do-able, but a massive ask. |  | | |

Yeah, it would have to be north of 2PPG to get towards 66-70. | |

Come 11th April it will be losing to us that finally destroys their playoff dreams, whilst we simultaneously confirm our top two status.
With the small matter of 'Boro the following week. |  |

There are a lot of teams ahead of them, many on reasonable runs themselves and 9 with a games
in hand. Not impossible, but very unlikely. |  | | |

Yep, hugely unlikely, as it's not just the points gap but needing to close the gap on 10 teams above them. [Post edited 10 Feb 21:47]

Sadly, it's possible see Forest and also us 20 odd years ago when we were bottom 3 at xmas.
You'd hope there is way too much traffic in front of them.
Would make a victory at Carrot Rud much sweeter if we could kill their season whilst cementing a top two place. | |

No. And even if they did, we will still beat them. |  | | |

It's amazing what clinical strikers can achieve for you.
I love Town, I love Kieran. But when it comes to acquiring strikers who can score goals, how the Swiss Dickens are Norwich so very many light years ahead of us? |  | | |

The fact is their recruitment set up and academy structure is still ahead of ours based on previous prem money investment. We are fast catching up though with the recent investments and improvements but it isn't a magic wand. Give it a few years and we will be there Recently visited their academy with my son and its an impressive set up and conveyor belt of talent through the age ranges. Dome looked tired though. |  | | |

They sign strikers. We sign forwards.
Look at clements words. Strikers will score goals in my teams.
On toure he sat with him showed him haaland. Lakaku videos just saying what pockets to get into. He will then make sure his other players get tbe ball to him.
Ours is how do we get our forwards to be creators over being a striker imo. | |

Isn't the point that they're not?! Like it or not we play the system we do and for the most part ot works. Just sticking in a 'striker who is clinical' for a bit doesn't work if the whole team is built around other qualities and for four seasons we've had our attacking midfielders and wingers score a big old chunk of goals. Yes, a striker in the mould of Hirst but better would be a huge improvement to the team, but a 'clinical' striker who doesn't play as we need them simply isn't clinical.
And I say all this as someone who was crying out for a forward during the window and gutted we didn't get one. Just saying 'that one' is simplistic and silly. [Post edited 11 Feb 9:08]

Easily |  | | |
| We need 9 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses - I’d see Carrow Road as a loss on 09:20 - Feb 11 with 1866 views | unstableblue |
They’re a different team now
Although so are we
Will be quite the match |  |

They have a PPG of 2.5 based on the last 6 matches. If you extrapolate all teams based on that alone, they finish 7th.
1 Boro 106 (3 PPG)
2 Towen 88 (2.17)
3 Hull 86 (2.17)
4 Millwall 85 (2.17)
5 Southampton 76 (2.17)
6 Cov 76 (1.17)
7 Norwich 74 (2.5)
Given that Norwich can't really sustain 2.5 that would suggest that they can't make the playoffs. Doesn't it??  I can't see Coventry continuing being so bad either and Southampton have picked up some form. |  |

Appreciate the work but this presumes a stable accumulation of points at the stated levels throughout the season. Seasons aren't like that and towards the end, squeaky bum time, teams can implode and others can over accumulate. This sort of analysis needs to be grouped and compared against smaller sections of the league. Including the likes of Boro and Coventry and to an extent ourselves isn't that helpful - we can take into account the teams around them and that should be competing for the PO's then analyse who they are playing, where and when in the season also.
Though I remember teams over the years who are 6 points behind with two games to go and they make it :-/ They could be less than 6 points behind in 2 or 3 games.
If we can manage some good results over these next away games I'll be a lot happier and less concerned about them |  | | |

It took no effort, just a page I'd been working on. True, it doesn't take into account teams playing each other, just a simple PPG for each team. But it is a gauge of what's possible and teams are where they are for a reason. I really don't think that Norwich can sustain 2.5 a match for the remainder and that's really what's required for them. | |
