play off place this season

[jon goddard]

I have had a look back at previous seasons and the fifth and sixth place final  teams points tally  has been somewhere between 75-79 points , which means we need a minimum of 11 wins from our remaining 17 games. Tall order but we are playing a lot better have won the last 4 out of 5 and do have to play most of the teams in and around us at fortress Carrow Road.

Thoughts?

It's definitely possible if we continue this run however all the top 6 teams are in good form, and with the exception of Sheffield Wednesday all have quite a big points lead over us. 

If I was to predict our results, realistically:

Away:

Wigan W
Burton W
Sheffield Wednesday D
Bristol City W
Aston Villa D
Huddersfield L
Preston D
Leeds L

Points:  12

Home:

Forest W
Newcastle L
Ipswich W
Blackburn W
Barnsley W
Reading D
Fulham W
Brighton L
QPR W

Points: 19

That's a total of 31 points, which would put us on 77 overall. Bang in the middle of that 75-79 points total. Whether that'll be enough this year is another question, and that's assuming all my predictions are correct (very unlikely )

Considering our away form so far this season, I think your away predictions are too optimistic. Would love to be proven wrong, but 1 away win and we are suddenly promotion contenders again.

There are certainly grounds  for optimism. Last 6 games we have won 4, drawn 1 and lost 1. Tomorrow night will be telling as to the extent of our revival, and whether or not it is just home based.

I am fairly confident we will make the play offs.

Agreed, to be honest I would only tentatively guarantee we will beat Burton, of our remaining away games, otherwise I expect defeats at Sheff W, Villa, Huddersf, and Leeds, and draws at best at the rest. One recent away win, doesn´t make promotion!

Predicting City results has always been tricky, you wouldn't put any of your properties on it.

Yeah my prediction's gone tits up already

6 points behind your prediction already!!
