A few people have muttered around the terraces as to where the current team might be placed in the league if had played at the current form all season.
Here’s the answer (all hypothetical of course)…
Over the last 15 games we have picked up 25 points = 1.66 average points per game
Based upon this return from the 34 games = 56pts
Which is currently one of the last play-off spots.
1 Eastwood Town 72
2 Nantwich Town 61
3 Ilkeston Town 60
4 Hednesford Town 56
5 Bradford Park Avenue 56
6 Kendal Town 55
7 FC United of Manchester 54
Back to reality we are 14th and still in a scrap. If we get 1.66 average over the next 8 games then this would amount to a further 13 points and finish on 52 points, surely enough for mid table. The alternative would be a bad run and getting caught in the relegation scrap right to the end.
As the gaffer warned in the Guardian this week “We’re not safe yet”!
