TARGET
« on: August 01, 2016, 08:09:38 PM »
Season about here ,  a tough 7 matches in Aug .

  H    Staylybridge.
  A    Harrogate
  A    Darlington
  H    Tamworth
  A     Chorley
  H     Kiddy H
  A      Gloucester 

A few fans think the season can be over by the end of August ,  what points return in Aug would enable us to be able to reassure the panic prone that the season is not over by Aug 29th ?          Taking a realistic look I would settle for a minimum of 10 points,  anything more being a bonus .

Seven points I think. With the priority being the new ground move, I don't think the owners will be too bothered unless we find ourselves in a relegation battle.

8 games before I go back to school, if you add the FCUM home game in there. If we're above 15, we're in very good shape. Expecting us to just about make double figures from them 8.
Tends to be about 1.7 pts per game or thereabouts to get you in the top 5 and just above 2ppg for the title so anywhere above 13 and we're doing alright.

I've had a glance at them 7 games and expect about 11 before a ball is kicked. make that 14 from the first 8 against FCUM and 17 from 9 with Bradford at home. That'd be a tidy return but if we are to be up there we need to be getting something at sides around us (those first 3 aways)

Controversial, as always  :bunny

I'm not over keen on trying to predict the total expected points haul for any given month, its hard to predict when we don't know much about our opponents form and how their respective teams are gelling, the same as we won't know how we are looking until a good few games in. So i tend to avoid adding pressure onto the team in what is always a tough, unpredictable opening month.

I think 7 or 8 points from those games some tough tests and after the opening month we will know what sort of season we are in for.

21 points, if not SACK the lot ;)
I have removed the shell from my racing snail to make it go faster, if anything it's made it more sluggish.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Sack everyone now just in case they don't get 21 points.

If we are to challenge then need at least 12 points from those fixtures

8 or below would be a poor start

H    Staylybridge. = 3
  A    Harrogate = 1
  A    Darlington = 0
  H    Tamworth = 1
  A     Chorley = 3
  H     Kiddy H = 1
  A      Gloucester  = 1

10 points, we always seem to start slowly.
against league 3, an idiots guide to making the rich richer and the poor poorer.

I think we should be looking at winning all 3 of them homes plus Gloucester, then getting bits and bobs from the other 3. 4 wins plus change out of the first 7 games would be a decent return

I've only seen one of the pre-season games so, based on absolutely nothing at all, my target would be 16 pts to put us near the top by the end of August.
Its about time we smashed this tin pot league  :dan

Not sure about the priority being the ground move anymore  :-\
