You'd also better ask how many points all those above us will get, since it's not in our control.

I think the options are too high. To put into perspective FGR had 34 points (the lower end of your bar) after their first 16 games this season. 29 points would have been enough for playoffs last season. 35 points last season was enough to send Bolton up! I think autos isn't impossible but think we will be in the playoffs at 46 games. I'll go for 32 points. |

With my feet firmly on the ground I think 28 points is reasonable. 8W 4D 4L. That's 1.75ppg so if anything an underestimate as we've been above that for the last 6 to 10 games. Should be aiming for 2ppg to really push on.
Anyway, 28 points will get us right in the mix for the final 2 playoff spots.
But I am full of hope for more. Keeping it tight at the back is imperative and will upgrade a couple of those Ls. We've got plenty of teams above us to play so if we get there it is fully deserved. Hitting form at the right time.
Beat an out of form orient on Tuesday and the mem will be buzzing on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it.

I reckon 27 or 28 allowing for a couple of wobbles 27 would give us 71 which has been enough in the past or 28 for 72 which is usually a playoff place. |

Every year differs slightly but 35 more points (79) would be enough for automatic promotion based on last season's final table and 29 more points (73) would see you in the play off's.
In 2018/19, 79 points was again the total for 3rd place MK Dons and Newport finished 7th on 71.
So I think we probably need a minimum of 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats (26 Points) to have any chance of a top 7 finish. That should see us sneak in, just. Based on recent performances that target looks very realistic.
To have any chance of automatic promotion we'd need a minimum of 10 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats (34 Points). That's a tall order, even if we can continue our improved form over the remaining games.
Autos aren't out of the question but I think play off's are a more realistic target and on current form 26 points from 16 games certainly looks very achievable.

32 points would be bloody good going but I think it’s achievable.
We haven’t even managed 2 points per game over our last very good run of form over the last 12 games we’ve got 21 points so I think we’re capable of bettering that but only just.

Many Gasheads seem to be under the illusion that the promotion will automatically follow if the club does make the playoffs. The playoffs are nerve-racking and the form sides often fall by the wayside!!

The playoffs are nerve-racking and the form sides often fall by the wayside!! I think you will find our management set up is far too professional to think like that. That is all that really matters. Self doubt not present in this team. Aiming high and winning is now becoming a habit. Strap ourselves in. One hell of a ride awaits.👍👍 |

Being in the playoffs is like being in a raffle the semis are slightly more possible to predict, but the final is all about luck and bottle in equal measure. |

Yeah, best way to go up but a painful ride! What's our history? Port Vale (L) final Huddersfield (L) final Northampton (L) semi Shrewsbury (W) PROMOTED Grimsby (W) PROMOTED |

Talk to me about Browner's late winner to clinch automatics - or beating City in our last home game of the season to win promotion. Sure winning the play-offs is great too - but INCREDIBLY nerve racking. |

The year we won promotion against City, pretty sure they got promoted on a day when they didnt even play though. That's got to be weird. |

It's going to be tough
We have 8 games in the next four weeks - Tues/Sat until 19th March, that will take its toll.
Then it settles down to just Saturdays, apart from the Easter weekend, but it's a tough set of games.
I've gone for a probably optimistic 27pts:
Feb
22nd - A - L Orient - 3pts
26th - H - Exeter - 1pt
Mar
01st - H - Barrow - 3pts
05th - A - Newport - 1pt
08th - A - Crawley - 1pt
12th - H - Harrogate - 3pts
15th - H - Colchester - 3pts
19th - A - Northampton - 0pts
26th - A - Carlisle - 1pt
Apr
02nd - H - Bradford - 3pts
09th - A - Tranmere - 0pts
15th - H - Salford - 1pt
18th - A - Port Vale - 0pts
23rd - H - Forest Green - 1pt
30th - A - Rochdale - 3pts
May
07th - H - Scunthorpe - 3pts
W-7, D-6, L-3
Total 27pts
