My predictions - 15 games to go. ** FINAL UPDATE**
Portsmouth A 0 Actual result 1pt. So ahead of schedule already :-)
Sunderland H 1 Actual result 0pts. So we are still bang on schedule after two very difficult games.
Blackpool H 3 Actual result 3pts. Still on schedule. The next 7 games look pretty horrible.
Scunthorpe A 1 Actual result 3pts. 2pts ahead of schedule.
Gillingham A 0 Actual result 3pts. An impressive 5pts ahead of schedule.
Charlton H 0 Actual result 1pt. Now 6pts ahead of schedule. Rovers as wide as 8-1 to go down at the Bookies (though only 2 pts clear of relegation. Mad season).
Plymouth A 1 Actual result 1pt. Still 6pts ahead of schedule. Great return of points over the last 4 really tricky fixtures.
Doncaster A 0 Actual result 0pts. Not much of a surprise. We didn't really turn up at all. So still 6pts "up".
Luton H 0 Actual result. 0pts. Still 6pts "up".
Coventry A 1 Actual result 1pt. The next game really is massive.
Bradford H 3 Actual result 3 pts. Still 6 points "up". Glad I got that one right. I don't think we'll win at Wimbledon now though...
Wimbledon A 3 Actual result 1pt. So back to 4 points "up".
Rochdale H 3 Actual result 0pts. Back to only 1 point ahead of schedule. Fingers crossed for 1pt at Fleetwood and that's about it. Which would be... 51 points.
Fleetwood A 1 Actual result 1pt. One point ahead of schedule, but let's face it Barnsley are going to thump us.
Barnsley H 1 Actual result 3 pts. Didn't see that one coming! Ended on 54 points and regardless of "style" well done GC for getting us 4 points clear of relegation.
A finishing position of 15th gives a feel of mid-table mediocrity, but we all know weren't as good as that for long stretches of the season.
18 points, so 51 in total. Home games against Blackpool, Bradford, Rochdale look critical. Then again they all are. Not a nice run in.
Historically 51 should be enough, though I know it's very congested in the bottom half of the table and that might not be enough this season.
I predicted 20th before a ball was kicked this season and I'm sticking to it. Stay UTG.
