Calculations 11:41 - Oct 18 with 3717 views | James1980 | At the start of the season there was 138 points to play for. Assuming our goal is survival, 55 points should guarantee that. So we can afford to drop 83 points. So far we have dropped 14 points so that's 69 points left that we can afford to drop and still stay up. I'm not sure what the point of this was actually. |  |

No not a poll I'm trying to give those up. Just an illustration there is still plenty to play for |  |

Calculations on 17:53 - Oct 19 with 3033 views | davidab2202 | Another 46 points will probably be enough. The problem being off what bit we have seen so far, think it may be a big ask. We were probably favourites to be relegated before the season started and think even with the tough fixtures so far nothing will have changed in that respect. |  | |  |

So 50 points I will split the difference and say 53 points for safety which means we can drop a further 71 points. So that's 49 points left to get and 71 to drop |  |

43 points and we are safe. Still 71 to spare. Perhaps I should be more optimistic and do a calculation for a spot in the playoffs. |  |

No wrong, it was started as a don't panic thread there are still plenty of points to play for, when people where saying we were doomed. |  |

Bizarrely Jimbo, the "slump starts here thread" was a magic move by the originator! We thrived on it. ( Just like yours sort of) |  | |  |
Calculations on 13:16 - Mar 28 with 1789 views | James1980 | 19 points out of 30 remaining will give us 51 points. That will see us safe based on the last few seasons. Very tough ask but I have faith in another great escape. |  |

Very long odds we will get 6 wins and 1 draw or 5 wins and 4 draws from the remaining games James. Hopefully the target will be lower this season: 45 or 46 points might be within our reach (4 wins,2 or 3 draws) can't see any more I'm afraid. |  |

A ‘run-rate’ of 1.5 points per game will see us to 47 points, a tough ask and no guarantee it will be enough. |  | |  |
Calculations on 17:04 - Mar 30 with 1111 views | NorthernDale | I suspect that survival this year, teams will need between 47 to 50 points, so 4 wins and 3 or 4 draws may get us to 47 or 48 points, which may be enough for survival. I admit that we will have to possible 4 wins, but with away games at Crewe, Wimbledon and Fleetwood, which are games that we can possible get wins, we have the chances to get the points, when considering we are better away then at home. But we need to look to pick up points at home and even the odd win, as well. The fact our fate is too some extent is in our hands and BBM must put caution to one side and go for the wins, and points that we will need. |  | |  |
