Comfortable Mid-Table Calculator

I was dithering about doing this and then I saw Spike's thread which I felt was bound to lead to disappointment so thought I would do it -just to provide balance.

I have taken 47 points as a suitable relaxing total which is 20 more points from 18 games. Over the last ten years the highest total needed to finish 9th was 54 and the lowest 46. Conversely the highest total needed to finish 14th was 45 and the lowest 38. 47 puts out nicely in the middle and should be able to provide balance to - the gloom and euphoria each time we win/lose.

I have a feeling that we will not bring in anyone much in January- possibly a right back - and the injury situation is going to make the second half of the season rather more lean on the points front. That said even allowing for that the total seem manageable. As usual the results are not predictions but simply indications of the type of results we will need to end up somewhere between 9th and 14th.
