Points required for survival
Points required for survival
In the last 10 seasons the team finishing 3rd from bottom got the following:
15/16 - 37
14/15 - 35
13/14 - 33
12/13 - 36
11/12 - 36
10/11 - 39 (Blackpool got that many!)
09/10 - 30 (Us)
08/09 - 34
07/08 - 36
06/07 - 38
It looks like a point per game should be enough. Btw, how on earth did Blackpool get that many points?
15/16 - 37
14/15 - 35
13/14 - 33
12/13 - 36
11/12 - 36
10/11 - 39 (Blackpool got that many!)
09/10 - 30 (Us)
08/09 - 34
07/08 - 36
06/07 - 38

Blackpool were an attacking side that will of benefited from the 3 points a win rather than not lose like us.

Re: Points required for survival
No it's the amount of points that need to be accumulated by the end of the season in order to avoid being relegated.ontario claret wrote:Points to survive? Is that like oxygen to live?

Surely the correct target is points for 4th from bottom..?

Re: Points required for survival
They just need to aim for 40 points, nothing less.
Re: Points required for survival
No, we just need to get 1 point more than 3rd from bottom. Looking at the total points for the team finishing in 17th is wrong as they might not have needed the points they actually got.Rick_Muller wrote:Surely the correct target is points for 4th from bottom..?

Re: Points required for survival
12 wins starting Monday night that will give us 40 points which is the usual agreed safe target

How's this for a target: win every home game and draw every away game.

Re: Points required for survival
Blackpool were unlucky, their policy was to attack teams and they won a few away games of note quite early I think.

Blackpool's opening away games were amazingJohnMac wrote:Blackpool were unlucky, their policy was to attack teams and they won a few away games of note quite early I think.
Wigan - won 4-0
Arsenal - lost 6-0
Newcastle - won 2-0
Chelsea - lost 4-0
They then won the next one at Liverpool.
A contrast to the previous season when our first away games were
Stoke - lost 2-0
Chelsea - lost 3-0
Liverpool - lost 4-0
Spurs - lost 5-0
I was really worried given the next away game was at Ewood.

Re: Points required for survival
BBC Sports website users say we'll finish last.
I'm trying to mess the system up a bit.

You me and thousands of others.
I can't believe we were actually try to defend Coyle for his tactics away from home, it's only in hindsight we learnt he didn't have any

Re: Points required for survival
Just thought it would be interesting to see how many points were actually required for survival. Getting to 40 points no longer seems a requirement.
Team finishing 17th:
16/17 - 34
15/16 - 37
14/15 - 35
13/14 - 33
12/13 - 36
11/12 - 36
10/11 - 39
09/10 - 30
08/09 - 34
07/08 - 36
06/07 - 38

Re: Points required for survival
The magical 40 marker guarantee's survival but it's not been needed other than the Blackpool season. I said all year that 36 was the magic number and I wasn't far off. Achieving 40 points is a great effort for us though. Same again next season please!!

Re: Points required for survival
Team who finished 17th this year was Watford with 40pts. They would have been safe with 35 as 18th and relegated was Hull with 34pts.
