What's a good or acceptable points total from our next 2 home games ?
I'm going 4 4

If we are after top spot surely we need to aim for 6 points from the next 2 home games, Lets hope the team have just had a blip and go on another unbeaten run, Top place is there for the taking this season IMO.

Like to think we're always aiming to win every game. Still personally think 4 points would be a good enough return though.

BTW when I say acceptable I don't mean if we don't reach the pts total then "it's unacceptable" and we should sack the managers ! At a push if I was offered 4 points right now I'd probably take them (just but a close call !).

Quoted from 1600

I can see the logic behind this 80s, on a positive note it would mean we would not of been beaten at home i suppose, If say Newport got 6 points though from the next 2 games it would mean we would be 8 points behind them, We better get 6 points mate because i will be at the next 2 home games.

See they're off to Alfteton next - think WE'RE the only team to win there for a while so hopefully that'll be no walkover for them. Then they play in form Hyde. Suppose just in theory Newport could keep winning forever and we'll never ever catch them but guess they'll come a cropper at some point. All we can do is do our very best I suppose and just let others do their own thing.

Ha ha good one, UTM !

We need to maximise points and get back on track, other teams have games in hand and if they win them we will drop out of the play-off's. If the players are serious about progressing up the football pyramid they need to get into them from the start.

The aim must be to get to the top of this league and stay there, so 6 points is acceptable.
Acheiving 4 points, means another 2 home points dropped ( 11 home points dropped already this season) and we remain in a 'play off spot' - I just don't like talk of play -offs in this part of the season.
Really need to push on now

Fully appreciate what you're saying and obviously we want the LOT but you might argue we'll be back on track if we beat Woking. If that was the case not sure an e.g. unlucky draw vs Braintree is necessarily gonna mean the end of any auto-promotion challenge but yeah, we want to get as close as we can and win every game. Perhaps I should have just asked "How many points would you like ?" instead. So basically both games are "must win", is that what we're saying ? Side question just out of interest if we don't get all 6 pts are we completely screwed ?

6 Points please: we must win our home games if we are to stay towards the top of the table. Plus if we can't beat teams like Woking and Braintree at home then we don't deserve to be at the top of the league!

After throwing away 3 points against the second bottom team, we need all 6 points.
I think top spot is up for grabs. I don't see Newport sustaining this current run of form. But it's no good wining a couple and then losing againist weaker opposition. Time to put in a solid run of wins. We must get more consistent, especially at home.

Tell you what if fans who vote 6 come on here and act like we've won the league after beating Woking(assuming we do) when the "acceptable" level hasn't even been reached for the 2 games then... Oh I give up... 6 points please S&H but just personally, I'm not necessarily gonna throw a huge paddy if it's anything less. That's just me though can't speak for others ! Dear god talk about "pressure on" is it wise ?!! Maybe it is but I'm not personally convinced it's helpful.

Just in case I need to explain any more.... Imagine what's gonna happen if we draw with Woking. And then imagine what the mood would be if we beat Braintree.. See my point ? Week 1 its doom gloom and disaster Week 2 it's "back on track" with a win. Or vice versa if you like. WTF ?!!

I'd be disappointed with anything less than 6, but that's not to say 4 would be a disgrace.
