So, with the best of intentions and all that, it points to league one football next season. let's hope it's our last and we can be a force for promotion next time PUP!
PPG under Mousinho would be a better assumption, but the whole reason for the optimism has to be that we now look capable of doing better then we have all season from now on so past form does not have to be a constraint.
Whichever way you cut it, the odds are stacked against us. We are yet to hit 2 points per game under Mousinio. Conversely, the points per game of the top 6 all have them finishing on well above 80 points. Ergo, our form still needs to pick up, in addition to at least 4 teams form tanking. And we have to get past Barnsley away and Sheff Wed's at home.
It'll be nice to see us have an impact on the promotion race, but we are (unfortunately) not a contender this year.
Totally agree, an accurate and realistic assessment.
Screw the realists! We can do this.
