Where 45 points should be enough in L2 this season to stay up, I'd make it 60 incase we get deducted points this season.
Although I earlier said I thought we could get to 60 points I must admit I was not allowing for all 5 of our loanees to be recalled. I agree with all the calls for a strong up front striker but we will be competing with quite a few clubs who have more money and a far more stable situation than us and, therefore, it's going to be a very big ask. There is also the obvious possibility that we may be 'forced' into selling Mayor which, coupled with the lost loanees would, in my book, be disastrous. Yes, we should get a decent sum for him but his wages, as far as we know, are low so there would be no gain from that angle. Add in the possible 3 point deduction and the 2/3 games in hand advantage more than disappears.
I think ideas of a play off place, which a few weeks ago were realistic, are now a fantasy and all we can realistically hope for is that teams like Forest Green and Sutton keep losing.
