Final play-off spot 17:23 - Feb 19 with 18353 views | Northernr | As I've been researching it for the preview may as well put the full lot on here. Here are the points accumulated and the games lost by the team finishing sixth in this league since 92/93. -Highest it's been is 80, lowest is 68, average is 73.6. - Most number of defeats is 16, least is 10. We've already lost 10. - Only five times has the team from sixth won promotion, which rather ruins the idea that the team that crashes in with a late run of form often fairs best. - QPR are currently tracking at 59 points for the season - To get to the 74 point mark we'd need 38 points from our remaining 18 games, more than 2 a game. 19/20 - Swansea 70, 12 18/19 - Derby 74, 12 17/18 - Derby 75, 11 16/17 - Fulham 80, 10 15/16 - Sheff Wed 74, 10 14/15 - Ipswich 78, 12 13/14 - Brighton 72, 12 12/13 - Leicester 68, 16 11/12 - Cardiff 75, 9 10/11 - Forest 75, 11 09/10 - Blackpool 70, 14, Promoted 08/09 - Preston 74, 14 07/08 - Watford 70, 12 06/07 - Southampton 75, 13 05/06 - Palace 75, 12 04/05 - West Ham 73, 15 Promoted 03/04 - Palace 73, 15, Promoted 02/03 - Forest 74, 12 01/02 - Norwich 75, 15 00/01 - West Brom 74, 14 99/00 - Bolton 76, 12 98/99 - Bolton 76, 10 97/98 - Sheff Utd, 74, 10 96/97 - Palace, 71, 13, Promoted 95/96 -Leicester, 71, 13, Promoted 94/95 - Barnsley 72, 14 (play offs only to fifth that year, Barnsley finished 6th) 93/94 - Derby 71, 15 92/93 - Leicester, 76, 14

Final play-off spot on 10:02 - Mar 13 by francisbowles | In 2018/19 Villa were 13th with 45 points after 34 games. They were 11 points behind 6th. This season we are 12th with 42 points, 12 points behind 6th BUT with a game in hand. Villa finished 5th on 76 points, 3 points clear of 7th and went on to win the play offs. With the way the fixtures are all crammed in this season, we would need a lot of luck with injuries and suspensions as well as grinding out win after win, to have any chance of replicating that sort of run. |
We have 46 points & not 42. It is still 12 points below the play off positions though. This will improve when we win at Rotherham in our game in hand! | | | |

Final play-off spot on 07:30 - Feb 23 by nix | Sometimes I genuinely wonder if I'd really want to be one of those bottom tier Premiership clubs though. Having seen Palace a few times recently to cheer on Eze, the football is absolutely dire. Most of the time he's in a rigid 442 formation basically spending the entire match closing the other team down or preparing to win the ball back if the forward two lose it. It's absolutely dire and I wonder if he can bear playing like that. Apart from the odd spark of the old player, he looks a shadow of last season's Eze. I know we had a bad run this season but at least when we start playing better we can play with a bit of freedom and not have to grind every match out. I'd still like to reach the play offs and have our day out. I'm not sure if I'd want to win again though. |
I hear you, although I argued at the time that Eze had chosen the wrong club to move to - Hodgson is such a dour, defensive manager, you'd hope that he'd be wanting to see a bit of joy in his football at his age, but no. Premiership status only interests me as a way of paying off debts. Would love to have that play-off winning experience again, and then say, "Nah, you go up and be a burnley or palace with your VAR experience, we'll stick where we are". | | | |

It was basically awful when we were last there and I'd imagine it's even worse now. Give me the odd good game and the relative safety of the Championship all day long thank you very much. It's shit but it's our shit. Meanwhile Man bloody City continue to disappear over the horizon. | |

I'm with you on this one Ted. If we were always a top ten team., winning more than we were losing, flirting with the play-offs, playing nice football, then I would be happy out | | | |
