Have done it more than once and the only thing I'm certain of is that it's going to be very close indeed. http://www.thefishy.co.uk/calculator2.php Thanks for posting the link. Quite a lot more interesting than the old BBC one. My bottom 7 are:- CITY - 49 WOLVES - 48 FOREST - 48 BLACKBURN - 44 WIGAN - 43 BURTON - 43 ROTHERHAM - 20 I am surprised Burton ended up where they did.. one can only predict based on factors of form, manager, match and then pop a win, draw or loss in. I think City are already showing an upward trend in form and this will continue but only because the players want it and have enough in the tank.

42nite Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Oh dear, I've got us to go down, 3rd bottom. 2 points behind Blackburn. You wouldn't let this happen would you Steve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kala Taro Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 17 Wolverhampton 46 -10 50 18 Blackburn 46 -14 49 19 Birmingham 46 -22 49 20 Burton Albion 46 -16 48 21 Nott'm Forest 46 -16 47 22 Bristol City 46 -14 44 23 Wigan 46 -18 39 24 Rotherham 46 -63 17 I think I might suffer somewhat from negative bias regarding my own team. I didn't factor in Warburton at Forest and a possible upturn in form there and I've got Rotherham not picking up another point for the rest of the season which is improbable. It's looking a bit grim but as we know, football's a funny old game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you include an 'I think' but you still seem pretty sure about a series of events that have a massive amount of different permutations. Could I borrow your crystal ball when you're done please. I'd like to know whether the wife will be pleased with the birthday gifts I've got her? I wasn't saying we would or wouldn't be relegated. I was pointing out that the last 4 games at the Gate were crucial. Given the points per game ratios of the sides, we need 50 points to be sure of staying up - teams tend to pick up more points in the last few games than usual too. Games versus mid table teams who have less motivation etc...I would prefer Birmingham to be safe when they play us.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted March 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The remaining fixtures are tougher than the eight we lost in the bounce. Unfortunately the only two games we have won have been poor performances where we scraped wins against very poor sides themselves devoid of any confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind faith? Seriously though this is exactly the issue, I admire a lot of the optimism but the realist will look at our performances and results and see that we've won 2 games, both against the ONLY two teams below us and both only by a single goal. There is nothing in the last three months that would suggest we're going to go on to win 4 of our last 7 games, I mean that's a 57% winning average, our current winning average over the last 3 months including the two wins over the only teams worse than us in the league is 15%.... I love Bristol City, I love the Championship but I honestly don't see the two being together next season, it's back to League One and with a manager who won't gain us promotion, so strap in for the long haul, it's going to be a bumpy ride as per usual!

I heartily agree with this. Yes; results can change the mentality of a side, and I hope the Wigan win spurs us on. But it isn't 'negative' to point out that it was the exception for us to take three points, not the rule. And as you also point out; opportunities for scrappy wins over sides below us will be in short supply the remainder of the season because... well, there ain't any other sides below us just now! Last season I remember us having some ups and downs on the run to safety, but when we encountered the 'dead-&-buried' Bolton at home, we smashed the living daylights out of them. Equally, when we met similarly placed MK Dons, we knocked them for a brace on their own patch. It felt like we could save ourselves then. This year, we only just edged past both Rotherham and Wigan (and have won no other league games this calendar year), yet we think we can turn it around in similar fashion (and it'll need to be in even more spectacular fashion, thanks to our position and that of our rivals)? I hope we can, but hope is all it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SL clearly continues to put his money where his mouth is, but I suspect he sees the rugby club as the easiest means of glory, so despite all that has been said, I wouldn't be surprised if his priorities will be on the rugby club going forwards because its a whole lot cheaper to get a rugby club challenging for European honours than it is sustaining a second division football team. He ****** up there of course, but can see prem rugby again in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted March 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 The Rugby, another cock-up. No lessons learnt there either! That's two of the three sporting teams I follow. I was going to suggest he keeps his hands off GCCC but the cricket cock-ups usually take care of themselves other than the limited overs where we can compete.
