Even though MApp has left I still think it is still a good thing to split the season into 5 game blocks to see how we are doing so here it is for the new season with a few added stats!
Block 1 Oldham (A) 3pts Portsmouth (H) 3pts Scunthorpe (A) 0pts Shrewsbury (H) 1pt MK Dons (A) 1pt Points out of 15 = 8 Last season = 4
Block 2 Gillingham (H) 3 pts Bradford (H) 1 pt Blackpool (A) 0 pts Walsall (H) 0 pts Bury (A) 0 pts Points out of 15 = 4 Last season = 8
Block 3 Peterborough (A) 3 pts AFC Wimbledon (H) 3 pts Bristol Rovers (A) 3 pts Charlton (H) 1 pt Rotherham (H) 1 pt Points out of 15 = 11 Last season = 7
Block 4 Fleetwood (A) 0 pts Northampton (H) 0 pts Plymouth (A) 3 pts Blackburn (H) 0 pts Southend (A) 1 pt Points out of 15 = 4 Last season = 7
Block 5 Doncaster (H) 3 pts Rochdale (A) Wigan (H) Gillingham (A) Bradford (A) Points out of 15 = Last season = 8
Block 6 MK Dons (H) Blackpool (H) Walsall (A) Bury (H) Wigan (A) Points out of 15 = Last season = 9
Block 7 Charlton (A) Bristol Rovers (H) Rotherham (A) Plymouth (H) Northampton (A) Points out of 15 = Last season = 9
Block 8 Fleetwood (H) AFC Wimbledon (A) Peterborough (H) Portsmouth (A) Scunthorpe (A) Points out of 15 = Last season = 7
Block 9 Shrewsbury (A) Oldham (H) Southend (H) Doncaster (A) Rochdale (H) Points out of 15 = Last season = 7
Blackburn (A)
Past Seasons 2nd place:2016/17 - 86 2015/16 - 85 2014/15 - 91 2013/14 - 94 2012/13 - 83 Average = 87.8 Points needed per block for 88 points = 9.66th place:2016/17 - 73 2015/16 - 74 2014/15 - 69 2013/14 - 74 2012/13 - 74 Average = 72.8 Points needed per block for 74 points = 8
20th Place: 2016/17 - 50 2015/16 - 50 2014/15 - 52 2013/14 - 50 2012/13 - 51 Average = 50.6 Points needed per block for 51 points = 5.5

Good one Denis.
Not the easiest first block, but we need to do better than last season in the first 5 games....

So we need to average about 8 points per block for the playoffs ...

Just to avoid jinxing things (as well as for general interest) do you mind adding the "20th place" to the Past Seasons section of that thread?

6th place:
2016/17 - 73 2015/16 - 74 2014/15 - 69 2013/14 - 74 2012/13 - 74 Average = 72.8 Points needed per block for 74 points = 8
Should that be 73 points, or am I missing something? Not being sarcastic or anything. It is a typo or there's some mathematic thing that makes 73 points a technical impossibility? I don't know, I'm still partially sedated by the appendectomy meds...

I don't know, I'm still partially sedated by the appendectomy meds... I was going to go with 73 points but thought, considering 74 has been the magic number 3 out of the last 5 years I feel we should be aiming for 74 points rather than 73.

Block 4 looks a particularly tricky block which includes an inevitable defeat at Southend, long trip to Fleetwood, who look to have recruited well and the league favorites, Blackburn at the Kassam.

Could do with a cumulative points total with last season in brackets so that we can easily see how be are doing comparatively and in relation to average totals for 2nd, 6th, 20th. Good work though!

Good one Denis. Not the easiest first block, but we need to do better than last season in the first 5 games.... Have to agree with this, our sluggish start last season is what cost us a play-off place. I'd hope this season we might be aiming for at least 8 points from our first 5 games. Key is beating Oldham in the first game of the season.

Key is beating Oldham in the first game of the season. Not too hopeful of a better start as we are suffering from the same problem as last season. Too many changes of personel and the need to settle in.

Too many changes of personel and the need to settle in. I actually disagree with that. Last season we had significant injuries at Centre Back and right back (Nelson, Riberio, Long, Martin). In addition Ledson and Johnson had not even signed let alone settled in. Our starting 11 this season could be pretty close to what played a lot of last season (plus Obika and Henry who are both went on the Portugal trip). Sure if Johnson and Lundstrom left that would change things (although Ruffles could come in for Lunny)

We have six times as many points this season as we had at the same stage last season. Applying that across the entire campaign we are on course to chalk up somewhere around 400 points, which should be enough to secure automatic promotion.

I'm just pleased that after searching so long for that 20-goal-a-season striker, we've now got Thomas and Ruffels on course to bang in 90-plus between them.

I like this 5 game blocks malarky as it stops you getting too down after a bad result, even if we only draw the next two games that's still 8 points from the first block, bang on target and much better than last season. I'd happily take draws against Shrewsbury or MK Dons

So 2 games in and already more points than last seasons first 5 games! But already out of one trophy. I know the bigger picture is a good run in the league this year but cup games do contribute to form as well. It's played four, won two, lost two really.

You can't just add cup games into a block of games used to work out points needed, makes no sense.

I know the bigger picture is a good run in the league this year but cup games do contribute to form as well. It's played four, won two, lost two really. No it isn't. We are looking specifically at the league which is the priority. Whichever way you look at it we have 9 points from 3 games.

I'd happily take draws against Shrewsbury or MK Dons I think we will beat Shrewsbury. Yes they have won 3 out of 3 but they aren't that good still. We will be the first real test for them.
