Before every season I set down how many points we should require for the play offs and then make a suggestion as to how we might get them. I know too much time on my hands and I've normally lost interest by now.This year I went for 72 points as I thought the league is more even than last year. To get to that total I went for 20 wins 12 draws and 14 losses. I then had a punt at how that might look against the teams we had to play, and ended up with
no points ( I.e. Lose home and away) - Wigan, Blackburn
one point ( I.e. Draw home lose away) -Bradford, Peterborough, Scunthorpe , bury
three points - Rotherham, Charlton, Oxford,Portsmouth,Southend, Walsall
four points - Blackpool ,Fleetwood, Bristol R,MKD, Wimbledon, Rochdale , Plymouth, Doncaster
six points- Northampton,Gillingham, Shrewsbury
obviously my my assessment of bury and Shrewsbury has gone awry but if you look at how I've specced it out we are currently one point ahead of where we need to be to get 72 points. Happy days?
Still a point ahead after MKD
