It doesn’t factor in WBA, Bristol and Norwich’s poor away form either. West Brom nor Bristol have won a single away game in their last 8 and WBA have played Derby and Plymouth in that spell. Their next 6 is their hardest stretch. You’ve got Norwich whose away form is 12th in the league over...

We’re playing 6 teams in the bottom 8. Assuming 68 points is enough, that’s 1.5 PPG from now which is the equivalent 6 wins and 6 losses. Hypothetically, if we won just those games against the bottom teams, that could be enough to get play offs. That’s without winning a single game outside of...

You’ve 100% lowballed us here. WBA to get 21 points from the following fixtures? Away: Leeds Burnley Norwich Bristol City Coventry City Cardiff Home: QPR Hull Sunderland Watford Derby Luton I can’t see them winning more than 2 away games from now on in. Likewise, Norwich getting 22 points...

With the position we’re in now, the club and fans should insist that playoffs is the expectation. We’ve managed through injuries and the change of management beyond anyone’s expectations. The poor start is no longer an excuse, we’re 1 point off playoffs now and we’re all on 34 games. We’ve...

Making the playoffs, even if we don’t go up, it shows the club is heading up and convinces players that the project is worth sticking around for. Players like Haji, MVE and maybe in even Sheaf may stick around for one more season to go up with us despite wanting to make the jump up a level. I...

This forum is so much better when everyone is optimistic!

Bristol’s home form is great, it’s their away form that needs to pick up. They haven’t won away in 9 games!

Luton will be gone by then imo. You know what they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. How much colder can relegating them to L1 be after that playoff final?

Starting EMC risked the same thing and he smashed it. The plan, even the we played 5-3-2 was almost mimicking the way we play 4-2-3-1, 2 players in the box, Rudoni and Torp operating as wide midfielders almost and of having 3 players at the back.

Frankly, I think there’s potentially 8 wins in us. It allows for 2 losses v Burnley and Sheff U, 2 draws v Sunderland, WBA and Boro, for arguments sake. That leaves home wins at Pompey and Stoke. Away wins at Oxford, Derby, Hull, Plymouth, Luton. Then one win against Sunderland, WBA or Boro...

Our form had been dropping off that February, losing key fixtures against playoff rivals Norwich, WBA and then PNE. There was the FA Cup run that added 4 extra games to a congested period to our season. Fixture congestion aside, the squad was depleted and both Sakamoto annd Sheaf’s injuries...

Yes, this is true. 3 of those games are at home and of our remaining 6 away fixtures, 5 are against bottom teams in the bottom 7 and Sheff U. It’s not ridiculous to expect 5 wins. Our home games are more difficult on paper but the fact we’re home is an advantage against the likes of Stoke...

We’ve definitely emerged as the form team in the pack and arguably have the easiest run in because our away fixtures are potentially kind. All the teams around us have been inconsistent and the current incumbents (WBA and Blackburn) are looking shaky. WBA have the toughest run in of everyone...

Agreed! Super computers will always have a flawed methodology because it relies on the inputs. If it’s predicting us to finish on 68 points, why does it expect us to slow down our run rate to 1.5 PPG for the remainder of the season? Probably because our PPG for the season is 1.47 which includes...

It’s a bit random, but a Chelsea website posted the following. In short, an Opta ‘super computer’ reckons we’re most likely to end the season in 5th place...

It was an interesting insight but the big caveat that the stats don’t show is that Lampard hasn’t had our (still) top scorer at his disposal, Haji Wright. We’re just overall a better outfit at both ends of the pitch under Lampard. A key difference is that we’ve massively improved on scoring...

The team is a lot better overall this season and even last season where we were on course to beat 22/23’s points total before only picking up 4/24 points from Easter Monday! Grimes will really help fill that void that Hamer left because he’s so good at dictating the tempo, keeps the ball moving...

If there were two teams I could choose to beat in the division to go up, it would be Sunderland and Sheffield United. The pettiness of singing ‘it could’ve been you’ to COH and Hamer is what football banter is all about. Again, beating Sunderland is always funny.

Robins wouldn’t even make it back to the changing room before being sacked if he did that. He’s going to be under a lot of pressure for that game and fighting for his survival so it’s going to be 100% business from his end. If he loses to Watford by 2 or more goals, again… he’ll probably be sacked.

Shit! Sorry to pry, did you use the same address for the Oxford and CCFC?
