Looking at the previous 6 LG seasons.........

The team finishing 6th had the following points

76,76,75,71,71,73

We already have enough points to avoid relegation!

Dont laugh, many thought we would go down after colchester!

Our next target should be another 5-6 wins to make certain of a playoff spot.

I was mocked earlier when I suggested thats its just as important that we pull away from the playoff contenders.

The point is if those clubs feel the automatic positions are out of reach they may adjust their tactics in certain games to consolidate their position rather than being slightly more positive and risky.
i.e. playing for draws in certain spots.

I fancy our chances if it comes down to 2 from 3 at the end.

Hopefully dirty Leeds will get a nice offer for Beckford and f**k their season right up.
Hopefully they win the JPT and get to the FA Cup final!

  - I think it was the MORE important statement that people were questioning, actually... (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Jan 23, 22:06:13
    - 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
      - I think 90 points will probably be enough. (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 23, 22:37:38
        
        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
