Ok, agree maybe its not "more" important but............

its a fact that championships/promotions are not won by getting points off the top 4 teams.

In our promotion year we had a terrible record vs the 3 clubs who finished just below us.

Man Utd had a poor record vs the rest of the top 4 last year.

The point was lost that teams WILL play diferently to consolidate their playoff spots if we are too far ahead of them.
They have nothing to gain in certain spots going for wins instead of draws.

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

  - 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
