richwwtk Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 I know it's all doom and gloom at the moment, and I am meant to be calling for the managers head, or starting a witch hunt against Bristol sport but I thought it worth pointing out that we (almost) still have the playoffs in our own hands. We have three winnable games left, with the last day being the hardest but a packed Ashton Gate that day could just give us the edge... I have predicted the other relevant results for the season as follows... Derby v Cardiff draw Millwall v Fulham draw Brum v Sheff Utd away win Brentford v QPR home win Derby v Boro draw preston v norwich home win Villa v Derby home win barnsley v brentford draw Sheff U v Preston home win Boro v Millwall draw Brentford v Hull home win Derby v Barnsley home win Ipswich v Boro away win millwall v Villa draw preston v Burton home win And if we win all of our remaining games then the table is something like this.... 1 Wolverhampton Wanderers 46 31 9 6 84:40 44 102 2 Cardiff City 46 27 9 10 70:40 30 90 3 Fulham FC 46 25 14 7 78:45 33 89 4 Aston Villa 46 25 11 10 72:43 29 86 5 Middlesbrough FC 46 21 11 14 65:45 20 74 6 Bristol City 46 20 14 12 67:54 13 74 7 Derby County 46 19 16 11 66:48 18 73 8 Millwall FC 46 18 18 10 58:43 15 72 9 Brentford FC 46 19 15 12 64:51 13 72 10 Preston North End 46 19 15 12 59:49 10 72 11 Sheffield United 46 21 9 16 63:54 9 72 It's all very much in our own hands, It doesn't need any freak results at all.....

The chances of us getting this freak set of results to fall in to place is pretty unlikely. I think I might go to Wycombe on Saturday and invade the pitch as I am that confident we won't make the play offs. Just like when Rovers went there and managed to avoid relegation to the conference.

Beat Hull at home Saturday (very possible, our home form hasn't been awful) Win at Forest (a little trickier, though they are on a worse run than us at present) Then it's all down to a sunny Saturday in May.

Hence the (almost).... I know it's not entirely in our hands, but the results I predicted included a lot that didn't necessarily go 'our way' and any changes to those scores could just as easily go for us as against us. None of those results I predicted include anything remotely resembling a shock or against current form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Here's the thing though, even if we do win the 3 games- and on paper we can- it's out of our hands. isn't it?

MartockRed Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 It’s most definitely out of our hands, but if we can win the next two against sides with not much to play for, it will take the fight into last game of the season.
