Usual questions. What points do you expect us to get, what points are the minimum to keep the wolf from the manager's door.
I expect we'll get 7 again (we'll beat Gillingham, win one of the home games, draw one of the other 3) and think the minimum is 8-9 and Cook will be gone by January. |  |

Less than we expect/hope for even after serious expectation downgrade

You reckon 1 win in 5, after a mediocre month, would still be fine for the board? | |

might be 5 draws.
i'm not convinced they want to sack him this season, i'm often wrong though! | |

It needs to be 10 minimum but we’ll probably fall short of that. |  |

they definitely don't want to, but I think 12 points from 10 games mid-season would force their hand rather. | |

We have to go on a winning streak at some point right? I’ll allow for one blip so 13 points.*
In reality I predict 7. |  |

Totally impossible to predict, that’s the issue we have with Town at the moment. There’s not a single game where you can feel 100% confident that we will win.
We could get 3 points, or 15. |  | | |

has there ever been a town game where you've felt 100% confident that we'll win?
not since the '80s for me! | |

Struggling to see more than 6 from those games. I think they’ll have to act at some time in December. If it gets toxic at any of the 3 Pack Out PR games I think that will be a factor. |  | | |

Yeah, that logic seems about right given how the last few weeks has gone. A good start next Tuesday might help boost that points tally - but I thought the same after Wycombe.
It wouldn't be making up any significant ground on the teams above us. |  |

Think we'll beat Gillingham, lose to Wigan and draw the other 3.
6 points would obviously be nowhere near enough; however, many of my fellow supporters seem perfectly happy to view this season as (yet another) transition season, so I suppose anything that maintains a safe distance from the relegation zone, will be viewed as a success.
Remarkable, really.
Expect more from your football team; I do. |  | | |

at the start of the season, i look at where teams are likely to finish, and then have a par score for promotion/playoffs/relegation.
for these 5 games, a par score for promotion would be 6points, it's a tough run (just a shame we're so far down on the start of the season!) | |

8 points
Draw, loss, win, win, draw. |  |

Should be 4 wins out of 5 for that with only Wigan posing a serious threat to to us. However I expect it will be as follows:
DLDWL
So 5 points and slipping down the table. | | | |

That is a very good point. | | | |

We need 10 points really. I can see us possibly picking up 7 or 8 although it's hard to say, we are so inconsistent. |  |

Well, I got the number of points (and matches) wrong, we got 5 rather than 7. Right that Cook would be gone by January, but certainly didn't think he'd already be out by the time Charlton swung around! | |

You would like to think we'd have beaten the Gills as well, but as they cried off, we'll never know, so it could easily have been 8 points.
We need to average 2 points a game from now to the end of the season to stand a realistic chance of getting in the POs.... |  |

I agree with you and only a run of 8 or 9 straight wins will put us in the mix especially as there is so many teams with aspirations! |  | | |

I suspect that had we have played Gillingham we’d have got at least a point so your prediction was pretty accurate. Certainly better than mine.
When I look at the four games we did play, the points total looks very mid table, but given the situation and the fixtures, it was a bit better than that. Credit to McGreal, McK and the players for responding to the Charlton debacle and digging out a good win last night.
It’s a shame we are not playing Saturday, but on the upside it gives the manager a bit more time with the players. [Post edited 30 Dec 2021 13:26]

The fact that we have played a couple more than some other clubs might work in our favour. Obviously as we all know we can field 2 separate elevens. Clubs with fixtures stacking up may face problems with smaller squads. | | | |
