I don’t think any of the bottom six are going to hit 50 points which is the usual target.
To get out of trouble, someone is going to need to win five of the last ten games.
That’s unlikely.
It could be a low total to stay up this season.
How can you say that to get out of trouble someone would need to win five of the last ten games but then also say it'll be a low total to stay up in the same paragraph/post. If it's a low total, then teams will not need to get 5 wins (15 points) to stay up. 5 wins would mean the target would be between 47-49 points. Comparing that with the last 10 years, this is merely the lower side of average, not THAT low. And certainly not where the current PPG is suggesting the line will be - as you suggest yourself - it's looking like the target will be very low this season.I don’t think any of the bottom six are going to hit 50 points which is the usual target.

Well that's cleared that up then.How can you say that to get out of trouble someone would need to win five of the last ten games but then also say it'll be a low total to stay up in the same paragraph/post.

At the current PPG rate, it's actually looking like 43/44 points would be enough to stay up. An exceptionally low target. Matched only once in the last 10 years (the 11/12 season). So if this is the case, then clubs will only need between 9-12 points to get out of trouble.
That's 3 wins for some, and still only 4 wins for even the very lowest club (currently Rochdale).
Of course at this point in the season, sometimes the lower clubs do start to increase their PPG so if this were to happen, then at a push maybe 45/46 might be needed. That's still only 3 wins and a draw or 4 wins for all the clubs down there.
It seems that Max's confidence is totally shot and I'm sorry for him that so far his move hasn't worked out. Were he to be released I would welcome him back to our squad and get SE and PR working on him to rebuild his confidence. On form he is certainly a reliable top half of L1 CB.
I noticed that Bert.Just looked at Rovers first team squad on-line. They list 34 players in the squad which includes 2 players out on loan. Astonishingly they list 6 goalkeepers but only 3 strikers.
And they are stuck in the foothills of the Himalayas!Barton quoted in local Brizzle paper today:
“We’re trying to climb Everest and those that can come with us, great, because the higher we go now, the altitude, the air gets thinner and if we’ve got any passengers, they’ll cause casualties along the way. So on Monday morning, we might lose one or two, because we can’t have any dead weight trying to summit this mountain that is in front of us for our League One survival".
Not getting the impression that Barton rates the two ex-Gills, might find out on Monday.
Surely our budget isn't lower than theirs?I noticed that Bert.
That’s down to the previous manager before Tidsdale.
Ben Garner I think it was.
An unusual recruitment program.
That’s a big squad at this level.
Imagine their budget.
A rather brief explanation from AK there. Could have explained it in a bit more detail I thought.Well that's cleared that up then.
Ehmer’s confidence and respect amongst players and fans will certainly be shot to pieces by Joey Barton’s comments today.......wrong choice of captain.......nothing changed with Max since his previous encounter with him at QPR upto 9 years ago .....too deep a line kept on Saturday etc etc
Joey building up his excuses in case of relegation possibly?
Harlan next I wonder?
