Magic number in the Championship? 08:08 - Aug 20 with 2378 views | JethroJack | We've been using the 40pt "safety total" for the past 7 seasons as a minimum target. Statistically, what's the (assumed) magic number in the Championship? How's about if we say 46/38 x 40 = 48pts? If we beat Leeds, we'll be 5th the way there after just 4 games 😊 COYY(oung)JB's | ![](/images/avatars/12965.gif) | | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Magic number in the Championship? on 08:10 - Aug 20 with 2362 views | omarjack | The magic number is +85 pts. If our ambition is to target the 50 pts for survival then that's just sad. | ![](/images/avatars/23803.gif) |

With our young side, its being realistic & keeping perspective & nothing to do with lack of ambition. Some on here expect us to nose dive into League 1, so let's keep it real for once. | ![](/images/avatars/12965.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
Magic number in the Championship? on 08:54 - Aug 20 with 2263 views | Glyn1 | I would call it being realistic rather than sad. In the last 5 seasons, 80 points have been enough to at least get into the Play Offs, and 52 points were enough to avoid relegation. Put it another way, if we get 6 points in every 5 matches, then we're on course to avoid relegation. If we get 9 points in every 5 matches, we're on course for promotion. | ![](/images/avatars/10558.gif) |
