Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Ten games to go.....six at home and four away... 30 points to play for. 53 points on board now.....how many points do folk think we'll need for the play-offs??? How many points (dare I even mention) for the Automatics???:confused:

To Play My Prediction



Aldershot (a) Draw
Hereford (H) Win
Northampton (H) Win
Southend (H) Draw
Macclesfield (a) Draw
Oxford (H) Win
Bradford (H) Draw
Shrewsbury (a) Lose
Barnet (H) Win
Burton (a) Win

If results go the way I think they would, that would give us another 19 points, 72 in total and hopefully enough for a place in the play offs !!!:D

Your considered thoughts please ladies and gentlemen !!!:confused:

Can of worms now open lol.

My prediction will follow after a nights sleep!

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Sort of brings it home when you see the fixtures laid out as you have done there Carpon

The destiny is in our own our hands at the moment

I think it may be tighter than it has been in previous years for the play-offs alone and I would think maybe the 73 point mark might just squeeze that.

Starting Saturday is the critical stage with five games in thirteen days twelve points from fifteen points will do nicely:)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Although the team are playing some fantastic football and without any fear,I still think its a bridge to far.
Injury and suspension wise they have had a good run,but playing so many mid-week games will take its toll.
I would have thought keeping the nucleaus of the team together,add a few new faces next year,sort the off field problems out and have a right go next season.
Then again,what this team has acheived on the field,and the way they have gone about it,despite all the problems,nothing will suprise me.
As one crewe fan said ,Acci are the leagues "outstanding" team this season.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Two facts emerge from those fixtures:

• 4/10 remaining games are to be played away
• 1/10 remaining games are to be played against teams above us in the league

When we've been playing more away games than home and we've been playing the top teams far more than the bottom teams, it really is testimony to how play the lads have played to get us into 10th place and with game(s) in hand on all the teams above us :)


Not going to make any predictions, but just for fun there is a 'projected points' table @ Statistics - Football365 News. It doesn't take account of the majority of our remaining games being at home and against lower-placed opposition, but on their recent form projection, we would finish 4th ;)

missing out on goal difference!!!1

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

I wouldn't read too much into that one. It has us losing all four away matches; games where we picked up 7 points last season. ;)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Aldershot (a) Draw
Hereford (H) Win
Northampton (H) Draw
Southend (H) Win
Macclesfield (a) Win
Oxford (H) Win
Bradford (H) Win
Shrewsbury (a) Lose
Barnet (H) Win
Burton (a) Win

Theres my prediction.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Speculation pure & simple, Coley, Jimmy & the lads know what the fans want & I'm pretty sure they'll do their damnedest to achieve it, whatever is to happen will, that's just fate/luck/Karma/fortune/life & we'll all live with it at the end of the day because they tried hard & kept pride alive.

Do your best Lads, plain & simple. :)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

71 points will do it I reckon this year as it has been tighter than for a longer time in the middle of the table. I think we'll miss out by the odd point unfortunately, but its FANtastic to still be realistically involved, and with unambitious ambition (if that makes sense).

I think that testament to that would be that if we are involved in the play-offs there'll be few League 2 fans wondering how on earth we got there, but likewise nobody will wonder how we didn't if we don't

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

When it gets to this stage the form book goes out of the window, nerves and siege mentality kick in especially for the bottom teams.

One of those teams that could upset a few could be Barnet, most of the fixtures left for them are teams near the top, and with the re-appointment of Martin Allen yesterday the one thing they won't be short of is motivation :D

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

my thoughts are win 6, draw 3, lose 1, is what stanley will do. n see where that takes em, however things pan out though its been a great season, considering everything.;)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

In all honesty the sky is the limit. I have just put a decent bet on promotion. Let take ever game as a cup final.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

That's the sort of talk I like to hear!! Let's put the mortgage on it!! We're going up and that's that! As Macca said on an earlier thread how often will we have the chance to get this giddy and dream of promotion? If Coley says it's possible then Old Trafford here we come!!

Seriously we'd have an almighty chance if the town could put its backside into gear and support us. 4.000 roaring us into the play-offs......or not. We've been waiting for them to turn up since the inception of Stanley Villa in 1891 :)(although granted a few more did have a cheeky gander during that golden spell in the 50's.)

And stop being pessimistic. We're going to take the full 30 points ;)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Aldershot (A) Lose
Hereford (H) Win
Northampton (H) Draw
Southend (H) Draw
Macclesfield (A) Draw
Oxford (H) Draw
Bradford (H) Win
Shrewsbury (A) Lose
Barnet (H) Lose
Burton (A) Win


For me 13 points more to put with the FANtastic haul of 53 points gained so far...

The lack of change/rotation, will - I believe - cost us again! When Gornell went down/off on Tuesday, all I thought of was if he is out, who will do the job that he does???

It won't take much, injury, suspension or an off day or two..


8 new faces in this seasons squad, combined with losing close on 50 goals from 3 strikers leaving, a new style/way of playing, more clean sheets, less games lost, exciting football and most of all, a club to watch in the FL for another season, not bad for a team/club faced with relegation back in August ;)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Sounds just like what we said last season, just need a few more faces.

We've had a good run recently but unlike last season I think we're closer to the finishing post to have the motivation to get into the play-offs. 7 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses and on to Wembley we go!

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

You really don't want to be going on to Wembley this season :)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

How good it is to be full of hope and belief but absolutely no expectation :)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Think Valairian has hit the nail on the head,Although I will go for 4 wins , 3 draws and 3 losses , which will make Acci a few points off the play offs , Hope i am wrong , just a gut feeling.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

The play off,s and a trip to Old Trafford would be fantastic for the club and fans,but personally I am more than happy with our season, to be sitting safe in the top half of the league with ten games to go with no relegaton pressure is good enough and maybe this might just make the doubters wake up and smell the coffee, Stanley are on the up and in my opinion if we can keep this squad together for next season promotion will be automatic.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Still think the 2 points lost vs Spireites killed the promotion challenge but I want to be proved wrong.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

We will get playoffs!!! Why doubt what we can achieve... the stanleys going up


I Believe...

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

I believe!

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

It's so good to have genuine belief and be looking forward to each & every game and even looking further ahead which ever ways it goes it has been a more than welcome distraction from all the other things that have gone before and is nice to to be making the headlines for the right reasons.

Hopefully off the field the good times and settled times are just around the corner:)

The Players, Management & those who work within the Club as well as us fans we have all played our part so far and with six home games to play we the fans can really still play a massive part in the run as the twelth man.

As somebody once said Be Loud, Be Damn Proud, Be Stanley.:)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

See what I mean :D

Barnet 2 - 2 Chesterfield
Sam Deering's brace helped Barnet come back from two goals down against Chesterfield to grab a vital point in Martin Allen's first game in charge.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

More to the point...Are we mathematically safe from relegation???

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

If Barnet or Stockport win all their remaining games and Stanley lose all theirs then they will finish above Stanley.

This chances of this happening are about the same as my auntie growing balls and becoming my uncle :D

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

I take it maths weren't yer strongest suit baldy?:D

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Tongue in cheek...Sorry for the lack of smileys

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

So was mine, no need to apologize mate.:D

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Looks like the Barnet bandwagon may be short lived. 7 points from the last 9 and Martin Allen has left to become manager at Notts County

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

well who'd a thunk it?

from his point of view you can understand it a little, but that seems like a cnuts trick to me.

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Martin Allen isn't really known for conforming to normal :D

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

Disagree rob, the guy only had a 5 week contract wi Barnet, at least he'll have a wage fer a bit longer n that now.;)

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

well I suppose that's fair enough - but you'd have thought the five week contract (keep us up) would have been for a fair whack and he seemed to doing what he was paid to do

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

So results fo far put us two points in front of where I originally thought we might be at this stage when I originally posted this...13 gained from the 19 I thought that might be required for the play offs....however I think we'll now have to get 74 or even 75 to get a play off spot now, with the way results seem to be going.....meaning we'll HAVE to get 10 or even 11 points from the last five games :o

I think the last two games will have a massive deciding effect at both ends of the table.....I personally hope that Martin Allen doing one to Notts County might de-rail any progress Barnet have made and hope that by the time we go to Burton, Burton are safe and have nowt to play for....although that could work against us ( pressure being off Burton and all that) :confused:

Mind you...there's a fair few of the top sides yet to play each other in the last month of the season......

Any more thoughts ?????:confused::confused:

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
 

well 5 now played n won 3 drawn 2, so far, so if i'm right next 5= win 3 draw 1,lose 1,

Re: Ten cup finals / final points tally
