If Fleetwood continue with their current bad form they will soon be in a relegation fight despite already having 31 points. In their last 11 games they have 5 points and only scored 4 goals.
During an idle moment I trawled through past seasons and ignoring last season, as it was not completed, the average number of points required from the previous 7 seasons to ensure staying out of the bottom for is 49.43 points. From the season finishing in 2013 the points required were 49, 48, 51, 47, 50, 51, 50. In the 2012 season a points tally as low as 44 would have ensured survival. So if we are aiming for 50 points we need another 27 points from the second half of the season which is 1 more win, 1 more draw and 2 less defeats than the first season so far. Given that we have strengthened the squad this ought to be possible but we will need to vastly improve our home record as we still have 5 of the top 7 to play away.
