After 2 wins and a draw in our last 3 games and some good performances what are everyone's thoughts on the next 5 and what would be a reasonable expectation for a points return?
Having stolen the idea from a previous poster, I quite like the thought of breaking the season down into 5 game chunks and playing (as Coughlan said) for mini tables etc. So Next 5 games are:
Burton - H Shrewsbury - A Accrington - A Hull City - H Rochdale - A
My thoughts are that we should be aiming for 3 wins, and a draw (Burton/Shrewsbury/Rochdale - wins, Accrington - draw and probably a loss to Hull).
(Poll is open until 11:30pm Friday so we can reflect back at the end of Oct and see whether we're pessimists, realists or optimists!)

I’m going for 7 points, two wins and a draw, which would mean absolutely no cause for panic.

I’d expect 3 wins from that if BG is the real deal.
Achieve that and he will have won me around.
2 is probably ok as long as we draw most of the rest.
Any less than 2 he should get the sack.

One win (Burton) and 4 draws, but hoping for a second win at Shrewsbury which would make 9 points.

I’ve got a feeling we’ll beat Hull as it’s at home and they’re quite a big club I think our young players will raise their game. Other than that who knows it’s early days so hard to say which games will be easier than others. I’d be happy with 7 points any more than 7 very happy any less than 6 then worried.

Bloody hell - the subtitles of your different categories tell a different story:
8-10 Points (Expected - Continue the good work)
That sub-title would have been expected a couple of weeks ago!!!!

Tend to agree with you, Burton, Rochdale and Shrewsbury have all had very ordinary starts to the season so we should be looking to beat them, I'd probably have lose to Accy and draw with 'Ull as we're away to Accrington and we never seem to do well against them there and we're home against Hull.

The big test will now be to put a run together. We were so poor against Ipswich and Doncaster and rode our luck at Sunderland. I can’t see why we can’t win against Burton and I’ll be disappointed if we don’t.

Looking at the results so far the mood really seems to have changed, couple of weeks ago I'd have expected the vast majority in the 0-3 category and none in the 12-15, but now none in 0-3 and over 60% in the 8-10

Wow talk about fine margins! One win and he should be sacked, three wins and he is the real deal and will have won you around.

I reckon we’ll take around 7 points from that lot & I’d be happy with that.
From Burton on we’ve got three weeks of Saturday-Tuesday, so our squad depth is really going to be tested.
Tutonda to Leahy is a downgrade IMO, as is Hanlan to... no-one?, as is Hare to... no-one? (with Rodman & Little out) - so I think that will hurt us results-wise.
But still a few days to go of the window, so let’s see what happens.

We rarely beat Accrington. Expect Hull to beat us. Shrewsbury, away is often tricky, although we won there last year

7 points with a couple of wins against 11 men thrown in for good measure.

I voted for 8-10 but not expected as the poster put. 8-10 is what I hope for to show consistency by the team. 8 points would show we are difficult to beat and ten points that we are becoming potentially a good side. 7 points would be ok but anything less, disappointing and worrying.

Wow talk about fine margins! One win and he should be sacked, three wins and he is the real deal and will have won you around. Game of fine margins! I make that fixture list to be a rather winnable set of fixtures - if losing to Ipswich, Doncaster and scrapping a draw to Sunderland is ‘ok’ given the opposition then I don’t see how choosing those to be those you’d expect to be winnable is unreasonable? If we only get one against that list then that’s an indication we’re in for a relegation fight this season. After 10 games, if we only win one more well be between 10-14 points, win two more we’ll be at 13-16, win three more were at 16-18. www.11v11.com/league-tables/league-one/01-october-2018/ Compared to 10 games in 2018 I admit 1 win looks harsh if we can get a few draws as it’ll compare to mid table (again, it’s the fixtures not the end results so say) but with the 16-18 we’d be pushing for playoff form. With 10-14 his PPG for this season alone wouldn’t be fantastic from the first ten and I want to see significant improvement beyond last year. Edit: if I’m going to give him a target I guess it would be 5 points minimum.

Considering we've achieved 7 points from the first 5 games, of which 3 or 4 of them were harder on paper than the 5 coming up, I would hope we could get better than that in the next 5.
Exciting times, let's hope we can keep the upward trend going!

I'd expect 2 wins + 1 draw = 40% win rate and mid table form. Anything less and I'll be worried. Anything more and I'll start getting excited again.
