Do YOU Think We Will Be on THIRTY Points By Christmas

[Mendoza]

I was looking at the fixture list, and struggled to see were we would get 14 points to tkae us to 25

I went in to the season with massive hopes of a play off position, but now, after us not turning up yesterday, our first away defeat of the season and a run of 8 games without winning, I honestly am starting to get SLIGHTLY concerned about our season. Not relegation as such, but ways of improving on last year. 30 points by Christmas would in my opinion not be anywhere near good enough in terms of a good season

20 points from them games, with a dadow of a shout

A nice little trip to merseyside for crimbo , larvley.

 

[ATFC Seagull]

With the possible exception of Leicester, we *should* be treating all of those home games as winnable. And up until yesterday, I would have said we could hope to average at least 1 point per game away from home, so we'll see.

 

[Spider]

I agree. Obviously on our current form we won't get close to 30 points, but if our home form picks up and we carry on well away from home (our away record is still pretty respectable) then I can't see why we can't get to 30. 6 wins out of 11 is what's required, a big ask but a manageable one.

 

[Silent Bob]

Hereford - 3 (please!!!!)
Peterborough - 0
Hartlepool - 1
Leicester - 1
Millwall - 3
Carlisle - 0
Huddersfield - 3
Stockport - 0
Oldham - 0
MK Frans - 1
Tranmere - 1

13 points, total 24.

Given our current away form it seems a little harsh to predict just 3 points out of 6.

Given our current away form it seems a little harsh to predict just 3 points out of 6.

Maybe I fell into the trap of thinking home game = easier than away game a little, but I do think these are much harder away fixtures than we've had so far. Peterborough are a very good team, Oldham are up there and excellent at home, Stockport are a good side too, and we never win at Tranmere or Carlisle.

 

[Mendoza]

I forgot to add my predictions to that

Hereford - WIN
Peterborough - Lose
Hartlepool - WIN
Leicester - Lose
Millwall - WIN
Carlisle - Lose
Huddersfield - Draw
Stockport - Lose
Oldham - Lose
MK Don Alds - WIN
Tranmere - Lose

13Points = 24 in total

I say we get 11 points We're playing shit at the moment.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Sincerley hope we're on thirty points by Christmas, cos we tend to do a bit rubbish OVER Christmas.

 

[Mendoza]

Just as an aside, going into the Boxing Day game away at Millwall last season we were on 30 points exactly, from 20 games. 8 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats. Hence the thread title.

We ended the season on 69

 

[defrocked priest]

Ever the optimist:

Bulls 3
Posh 3
Pool 3
Foxes 3
Lions 3
Cumbrians 0
Terriers 3
Hatters 3
Latics 0
MF Dons 3
Rovers 1

Total 25points

 

[Statto]

Hereford-win
Peterbrough- Draw at best
Hartlepool-win
Leicester-get done
Carlisle-lose
Hiddersfiled-win
Stockport-Draw
Oldham-lose
Dons-Draw
Tranmere-get beat.

12?

 

[HseagullsH]

I do think we'll beat Leicester at home this year.

If we are realistically going to make top 6 then we need to be on atleast 28 to 30 points.

Hereford - 3
Peterborough - 0
Hartlepool - 3
Leicester - 3
Millwall - 3
Carlisle - 0
Huddersfield - 1
Stockport - 3
Oldham - 0
MK Dons - 3

19 points giving us 30 in total. This is what I hope for although I fear it could be a lot worse.

If that happens I will eat my HAT, as only Colchester have gained fewer home points than us this season

 

[the viscount]

What Hat is that Mendoza not our fab lord's final hats i hope

 

[Lord Large]

Who knows?

At the moment I would say no BUT we could hit a run of form.

 

[Knotty]

Hereford-win
Peterbrough- Draw at best
Hartlepool-win

Hiddersfiled-win
Stockport-Draw
Oldham-lose

Tranmere-get beat.

12?

Agree about the Leicester game. I think they and Leeds will prove to be easily the best two teams in our division and I would be delighted with a point from that game.

Not so pessimistic about the others but agree that a draw against Peterborough is the best we can hope for! I thought at the beginning of the season that Leicester, Leeds, MK Dons and Peterborough would be certainties to be better than us, regardless of how we played, so last Saturday's result was no surprise at all.

 

[Lord Large]

A win againt Hereford would be a good start. Fingers crossed.
