With our excellence result tonight at Gillingham banishing the blues of saturday's defeat I've just had a look at my predictions for survive back in November. Back then I calculated what we had to do to get to 50 points. I've gone through our fixtures and updated it all and WE'RE RIGHT ON TRACK FOR 50 POINTS and hopefully safety IF we keep going ...heres what I wrote (I know we lost the Oldham game, but somewhere we've snuck in a result I didn't think we could!)
I would go with the philosophy of targeting 12 more victories and a handful (5 or 6) draws.... home wins v southend, brentford, carlisle, yeovil, oldham, orient, hartlepool, wycombe and exeter are all essential and will bring in 27 pts. I believe we can do a smash-and grab at gillingham, walsall and brentford, as most seasons we don't travel well, though that would be 9 more valuable points....so 36 gathered from the required 40...surely draws at prenton v Bristol Rovers, and millwall, and away to brighton and on the final day stockport might see us home, fingers crossed.
