Nice one Chaffers.

We should be able to get 50-51 points at our season average points per game, that's 7-8 points from 7 games. For Rotherham to hit that they need to get 1.5 points per game (nobody below Bournemouth has averaged that all season). Wendies need to get 2 points per game (Watford's average all season) and Wycombe need to win every game. As they are all plodding along at 1 point per game season average, chances of that happening to all three are zero, chances of one of them doing it are exceedingly slim and those between us and them (currently Coventry and Brum) also have to up their game average.

Our points per game since the start of the New Year however are way below our average points per game for the whole season.
I still need convincing that something around the time of Careless's contract extension announcement didn't demotivate the whole (or a big chunk of) the squad. That contract extension is why he isn't leaving anytime soon.

Now the Cowley's have another job, we probably aren't paying them off anymore, but we'll be paying Careless and his merry men for quite a while if we dump him and bring someone else in right now and the new manager bounce worked really well at a number of places this season didn't it? Just ask the Baggies.

Not sure how many coaches our Chairlump has to bring in before the one that matches his philosophy turns the side into a top half club but Deano hired and fired more than a few that were in line with his - for a season or so.
