End of Season Points Target - For Fun
Posted: Wed Dec 23, 2020 6:58 am
A little over 40% of the way through the campaign, the Shrimps seem *just* on target for a total of 75, if they sustain their current average rate of points per game. In the seasons from 2014-15 (excluding 19/20 obviously) that would always have been enough to reach the playoffs - admittedly in seventh place in 2015-16.
Given the usual imponderables, i.e. assuming the manager stays (hopefully the current speculation is just that) and barring serious injuries to key personnel or transfers out, I reckon they can make 75+. How likely do you think they are to do it?
Obviously 47 would be a minimum figure, given that that seems to guarantee safety, but there are more grounds for ambition, given the start and putting the usual 'game at a time' / 'on to Bolton' / 'we go again on Tuesday' assurances aside.
In any case, the Board must be pretty happy with the current position, one would imagine.
