As i said after last saturdays game i think we will win 4 out of last 5 away games .thats the first one won and nothing i my mind as changed 3 more away wins and 3 home wins i think that will be enough that is if one of those home wins is against Derby .What does eveyone think.
 
We finished on 61 points last season after a late collapse in the last 5 or 6 games - this season will see us closer than last year to the playoffs (or even sneaking in at the death!)

if we'd lost today I think it was game over, but the points dropped against Ipswich and Fulham could still prove really costly when the final places are decided.

We finished on 62 last season. We’re only two behind that with another 24 to play for.

Every club will have their tales of woe.
 
There'll be lots of twists and turns yet.
Let's just keep winning and keep believing.
If we make the the play offs, great. If we get to the play off finals, even better. We haven't lost at wrmbley for 24 years and our recent record there is w1 d0 l0 so what's to fear?
 
With 8 games left 5th and 6th place are up for grabs. All the clubs in the hunt 7 by my reckoning have a chance and there are loads of 6 pointers.

We need wins not draws. We have only won 3 on the spin once despite a few unbeaten runs.

There are always ifs and buts. We have been 3 points off the play offs almost every week since new year. Last week it was 4 and I felt us slipping this week it’s 2 and it’s on!

I hope the Home support remains as positive as last week irrespective of how many are there and we get a couple of good results and performances as we surely must come unstuck on the road and cannot reach the play offs solely on our away form.

I think we will win 5 draw 1 and lose 2. 16 points. Will it be enough? Perhaps.
 
In last 17 seasons the team finishing in 6th place has had the following points (most recent season first)

80
74
78
72
68
75
75
70
74 (us in 2008/2009)
70
75
75
73 (2004/2005 we finished 5th on 75pts)
73
74
75 (2001/2002 we finished 8th on 72pts)
74 (2000/2001 we finished 4th on 78pts)

Average points over last 17 seasons = 74.29 ?

The next two games over Easter are massive.

Lose those or draw to Wednesday/lose to Derby and it’s difficult to see us making it. Win both, or a draw and win respectively however and we may even be in the driving seat for 5th or 6th...

finish the season averaging 1.875 per game for the last 8 and that should be enough, given that we have averaged give or take 1.6 per game over the whole season, it shows we only need to hold our form and throw in 1 or 2 surprise results to get us over the line.
Personally i think we will fall a couple of points short but the fact we are still talking about it with only 8 to play has to be considered a great season for us.
 
How many points

Two points behind last season’s tally.

And who was questioning if we are better than last season?

4 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat is certainly possible (or 5 wins, 3 defeats)
 
After the International break we are in an eight match mini season with only 6 teams in the league (7 if you want to include Brentford) and we need to finish in the top 2. Sounds quite straightforward but there will be quite a few twists and turns before the season ends.

IF ever a PNE team deserve promotion, it’s these set of lads who give everything. I’ve been watching North End for almost 60 years, and seen some good teams in the past, but I love this squad of players.

What's the highest points figure for teams finishing in 7th place?

Very good question, its not the points total for 6th but beating 7th that's key.

16/17 Points - 75 GD 14
15/16 Points - 69 GD 2
14/15 Points - 78 GD 14
13/14 Points - 71 GD 14
12/13 Points - 68 GD 8
11/12 Points - 70 GD 1
10/11 Points - 72 GD 11

I would imagine 5 wins or 4 wins and 3 draws would be enough

Er, I'm not a mathematical genius by any stretch, but I'm pretty sure if you beat the points tally of the team in 7th, but not the one in 6th, you take the position of the side in 7th. If you want to get into the play offs, beating the points total for 6th is therefore pretty key too...
