Ten at home and six on the road. How many points can you see us getting from these?

Incidentally, six out of the last 14 league ties have been on the road Coupled with losing some key players at key moments, it is not surprising that we have found the going tough of late.

March is going to be a very tough month and hopefully some bodies will be added in the loan window and some injuries/fitness issues will be resolved.

 

[Harty]

I think 29 more points but will that be enough to get us into a play off place?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

No chance of making the play offs with 68 points Harty. Tranmere in 6th already have 48 points with 14 games left.

We need about 73-75 points.

 

[Harty]

Had a recount and got 74, will that be okay? It also involves Wilkins winning manager of the month for March and April!

Scotty with your crystal ball gazing at what point will the crowds dip below 4,000 and Dick Knight introduce Micky Adams to the fans in the centre circle?

I more worried that you think the O's will beat us at the Withdean!

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

Quite, they have only taken 8 points from their last 12 away league games!

 

[The Large One]

And my prediction for 10th place...
Average points = 65.3
Highest points = 71
Lowest points = 60
Most common points; 66 (4 times - including three of the last four), 62, 63, 68 (twice), 60, 64, 65, 70, 71 (once).

Brighton points 39 from 29 games. Using that average, we are on course for 62 points.

If we'd won that sodding game against Cheltenham, we'd have been on course for 66 points.

I say anything above the mid 50's at the end of the season will be good enough
