The season progression chart on the second of the 3 links clearly shows that the upturn has been in the last few games. It's also a reminder we are far from safe at the moment. I was surprised by the chart suggesting that 46 or more points would be needed to stay out of the bottom 2 this season - 44 would be more normal. It obviously reflects what we see week by week - a lot of the teams in this league are very similar in ability and anyone can beat almost anyone else. Injuries / suspensions will play into this, plus the impact of changes in January as most teams will have player movements in and out. Ultimately it will come down to being able to grind out some results by scoring / not conceding late goals. 6 wins and 2 draws, or an equivalent mix of wins and draws (3 draws is the same points as a win as a former head coach memorably said) would get us to 48 which should be enough. 7 or more points from the next 3 would be very helpful, and would take points off teams around / below us.

A good start yesterday with three points at Newport. A few people losing the run of themselves and talking about promotion, but hey, it's just nice to be looking up for a change! - We have 18 games left this season
- We currently have 31 points from 28 games, at 1.11 PPG
- Last season, we achieved 54 points from 46 games at 1.17 PPG
- The last ten games, we're running at 1.8 PPG (WLWDDWLDWW so we're behind, but catching
- We need 1.33 PPG from here to beat the mark and reach 55 points
- Stretch goal: get to 60 points to beat the Beamish Line too: we'd need 1.62 PPG
- Wild hope: get to 73 points for the average last playoff spot, we'd need 2.33 PPG

I think it's pretty clear that if we can just play against Newport for the rest of the season we will go up.
Regrettably the EFL seems to want us to play against other teams. They've always had it in for us.

Another three points banked by the mighty Town, we're going to blaze past that mark right? We've pulled level with last season's PPG and feels like the momentum is much healthier. Lots of 17s below, stranegly - We have 17 games left this season
- We currently have 34 points from 29 games, at 1.17 PPG
- Last season, we achieved 54 points from 46 games at 1.17 PPG
- The last ten games, we're running at 1.8 PPG (LWDDWLDWWW)
- We need 1.23 PPG from here to beat the mark and reach 55 points
- Stretch goal: get to 60 points to beat the Beamish Line too: we'd need 1.53 PPG
- Wild hope: get to 73 points for the average last playoff spot, we'd need 2.29 PPG
Remaining games are: (current league positions) Carlisle (A) - 23rd Port Vale (H) - 7th Harrogate (A) - 20th Chesterfield (H) - 9th Walsall (A) - 1st Salford (H) - 8th Doncaster (A) - 5th Cheltenham (H) - 14th Accrington (H) - 19th Morecambe (A) - 24th Wimbledon (H) - 6th Fleetwood (A) - 12th Bradford (H) - 3rd Grimsby (A) - 10th Bromley (H) - 13th Gillingham (A) - 17th MK (H) - 11th So a fairly balanced fixture list, five games against teams below us, five against teams currently in the top seven and then seven against sides from 8th-15th. Sort of interesting how the expectations are lowered (and how much direction/momentum matters) that we still need more than 1.5 PPG to beat the Beamish Line, and folk are pretty pleased (myself included!)

Based on that I think we'll be even above the Beamish line somewhere in the dizzy heights of our third or fourth ever lowest finish. Commision the Clem statue now.

Maybe next season, if we can keep up the forward trend, we can raise our game and compete with the likes of... **checks notes** ... Fleetwood and Bromley
