Not even officially halfway through the season yet.
Can we continue to average over 2 points a game for the remainder of the season?
What is most impressive is that we keep getting results and we've always been missing several key starters from the team. We regularly find a way to get results. The management and players deserve huge credit.
We need a big January window though, to help cover for injuries, suspensions and international duty. It's a big window for the club. Our physicality and pressing will cause us more injuries as the season progresses so we need cover and real quality. The club have an amazing opportunity in January to really help get us out of this league.
From 26 games, we probably need 45 more points for automatic promotion. So not quite 2 points a game. Seems achievable even with a bit of a drop off in form. I don't see 2 other teams getting to 90 points.
If we have a decent Christmas period, we could end the year above 50 points fairly comfortably and then need fewer than 40 points for the remainder of the season for promotion.
From this position, playoffs would be very dissapointing. To finish outside the top 6 would be unforgiveable.
I cannot say with confidence whether we will finish top 2 until the January window has closed but our points accumulation from 20 games certainly gives us hope.
Will the board back Mous in January?
Let's hope so.
