How many points do the Albion need for Auto-promotion ?

[Uncle Spielberg]

In the history of the Championship 84 would get second on average

How many NSC threads about how many points we need for automatic promotion will there be in the 2016/17 season?




Too bloody many. Almost ALL of them pointless.

I'm not sure it's possible to get promoted from the Premier League, but perhaps you could start a poll just in case!

Like Huddersfield will hopefully be several more times this season...

Probably 93 or 94.. Can't see it being 89 this year given bloomin Huddersfield etc etc

One more than Third place. The number is irrelevant

 

[Don Tmatter]

If we'd been a bit more clinical in some of our comfortable victories we'd be at least level with Newcastle on GD as well, which might be vital on the last day.

Other.

101 at the time of vote casting.

 

[Two Professors]

24 points more and go up as champs.

Dunno.

 

[Yoda]

At the moment I would say 95 points needed, which is crazy.

 

[Insel affe]

Huddersfield have to play 3 teams in 8 days twice in April this could well be the saving grace.

Beware of complacency.

Easy - Tough - the Wire

Newcastle have three "easy" games.

Then it is a TV weekend with us playing QPR on the Friday. Huddersfield at Forest at 3 and Newcastle knowing what to do at Hillsborough in the late TV slot. Hayden should be back from injury for them by then.

The going then gets tough if we can stay in touch by winning our two "easy" home games before then.

Third best team in the division.



Brighton finished strongly last season and were an automatic promotion favourite right from the start. A bumpy start wasn’t sufficient to shake the model’s faith and since late October even finishing outside the top six has looked almost unthinkable.

Model performance: Pretty good right from the start

This is Brighton & Hove Albion. From missing good chances in the last minute of extra time in FA Cup finals, to losing out on promotion to the Premier League by 1 goal, to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against our closest rivals in the play offs, historically we have been the epitome of English sporting heroic failure and underachievement. All things considered, I think we can be forgiven, as fans, if we err on the side of pessimism about our chances - prepare for the worst and hope for better!

No we haven't. As I have said before, not a single campaign in 40 years in which we have entered the New Year in an automatic promotion slot has finished in failure. That is five (I think) plus 1987/88 where we finished strong and were promoted in second.

Five play-off appearances and one final victory plus one unexpected final appearance ending in defeat.

There was also a matter of a small escape in 1997. The details elude me....

So, all in all, not as bad as the moaning minis would have us believe.

It’s hard not to feel sorry for Huddersfield, whose points tally would have them on course for a top two finish if both Newcastle and Brighton weren’t doing so well. There’s also going to be a disappointing finish for one of the current top seven: they all have above-average tallies for the play-offs but one will have to miss out. The less said about Rotherham the better.

Fans better be up for it at home ot Blackburn!

 

[perseus]

Other - 88 Points will do it

Don't be daft! Are you Andy Naylor? Even he thinks 90 will be enough.

92 isn't even a chance!
