To reach the POs in the past 5 years you’ve needed

68, 73, 69, 75, 77 points.

Suggests we’d need minimum 38 points from 18 games. Probably more.

So at least 2.1 points per game, probably more.

2.1 points per game would currently see you top of the championship, league 1 and league 2, and second in the Prem.

We’re not going to be anywhere near the Play Offs.
