How many points will get us in play-offs?

[cashman]

What yeh reckon? last season 71 pts did it i think, think it will be more this time? I think at least 76 should do it? Which means another 4 wins in last 9 games, if so thats well do-able? i aint ruled automatics out, but wherever we finish it will have been n amazing season.

I agree cashy, Win half games so 4 or 5 will for me guarentee play offs. either 76 or 79 points.

For automatics we need to win 6-8 games which with this group of players is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Looking on last few seasons Between 82-85 will do for automatics

ON STANLEY ON

Why do you want promotion?If you are realistic you know that we havent got the big enough fan base to be successful in that league. Better still to stay where we are and continue to have the most amazing seasons we have all enjoyed.

[AsFc62]

FAN BASE will remain, quality of squad has no correlation.

WE'RE GOING UP!

Thats a daft comment, to create history simple as. most dont expect promotion given our resources, but enjoy the ride what happens happens,

Realistic? We're Stanley fans - we stopped being realistic the minute Paul Mullin won us promotion to the league at Woking! No-one gave us a cat in hells chance of staying & yet, here we are 10 years on & still enjoying the ride

Would Accrington Stanley get a decent payment for going up a league as they do in the Championship.

As far as i know yeh, not as much obviously but think it increases. plus all payments increase next season whatever i believe.

I think. 3rd place is now between us Bristol and Plymouth 81 points would mean Pompey having to win 7 out of 9 games left with 5 winnable home games for us it,s in our own hands now playoffs I think 76 points will be enough but let,s get in that top 3 let,s get behind the team now and cheer them over the line.

Wycombe away it's written in the stars... remember Woking!!!

[Exile on Spencer St]

Last three seasons have required 71-71-69 points to make seventh spot, and 85-81-78 for third place. Very competitive season with several teams still fighting for promotion might suggest it may be fewer points than last year?

As for the stars, I hope you're right, Mab, but is it the Voodoo Gods of Football who picked the opponents for Stanley's final game....?

73/74 is projected for 7th and 81 for 3rd.

Have another look at Bristol's run in its by far and away the easiest of the three. They must have had a bit of jam to win 5 on the bounce so hopefully they will have used their luck up.

I guess all we can do is take it game by game now and try and win every one. Simple.
