Rob, Scenario 1 - the loony optimists - a.k.a. "remember what Palace did" - if we got 2 points a game between now and the end of the season we would end the season with 68 points. Which would not be enough for play-offs (prob about 8th).
Scenario 2 - win one, lose one - start winning our home games and go on an alternate win / lose run - average 1.5 points per game. Final points haul - 56. Prob about 14th. Scenario 3 - win one, draw one, lose one - the "Blackwell consistency level". Gets us 52 points for the season. Enough to stay up. Just. Scenario 4 - 1 point per game desperate occasional wins but no upturn - gets us 44 points. Relegation. I'd take scenario 3 happily at this moment. What we aren't doing at the moment is picking up enough scrappy points here and there. Too many defeats - which in large part can be traced to an inability to ever keep clean sheets. Not helped by a centre back at right back and a wheelie bin at left back. Soft targets for opposition and completely remove an attacking dimension from our play, leaving us looking 1 dimensional (Blake) going forwards. Still, at least the cricket's going well and some nobody royal bint hasn't been declared our nation's best sportsperson this year...

Come on all you experts and stattoes..........it's time to get down to the nitty-gritty. Exactly how many bleeding points does the received wisdom say we need in this poxy division to keep our heads above water come the end of May? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
