I think 90 points will probably be enough.

Assuming we still have a superior GD thats equivalent to 91 points.

Last 6 seasons LG 1 2nd place...89,82,85,79,86,83

I do think it may take a decent figure to get 2nd this year.

I would wager that one of the top 3 will fall away.

we have 57 points with 19 games left.
9 home 10 away.

probably 10 wins and 3-4 draws will be enough.

If we win at least 8 of our home games we will be promoted.

Ironically with the top teams doing so well (and saints getting -10) the amount of points required to make the top 6 will probably be a bit lower this year so we may only be as few as 5 wins away from locking up a playoff place.

We're already 5 wins clear of the last play-off place... (n/m) (NCFC) - bowfront1, Jan 23, 21:34:14

    - Ok, agree maybe its not "more" important but............ (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 23, 22:43:17
  - Also GD may be important +11 over Charlton = 1 extra point. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 23, 22:04:45
    - I guess 95 points has to be the aim - we'd be very unlucky if more than 2 clubs got that. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 23, 22:07:09

        Yep, i'd say another 12 wins (or equivalent points) - exceptional league this year, so I (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 23, 22:42:44
        
        Well, at this rate Charlton, Leeds and Norwich will set some kind of record so (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 23:06:53
        
        The southampton effect is large.......... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 23, 22:50:11
        
        Even given their points back they wouldn't be in the top 6 though. (NCFC) - APB, Jan 23, 22:58:02
        
        I think they will take points from a lot of teams in the top 10 (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 23, 23:11:54
        
        If they didn't have a 10 point deduction they'd still be 18 points behind (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 23:12:18
        
        Exactly. They do bother me, but only as dark horses (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 23, 23:07:14
