mozo Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Towards the end of our winning run I maintained that we'll finish 7th and I'm sticking with that. If we win tonight it certainly makes it interesting. Derby have the best fixtures but two away games on the bounce will be a test for them, particularly Brentford. Villa will make the play-offs. A draw tonight would still be a useful point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfcshorey Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Is there a thread like previous years that had all the points down one side, with stuff like "Lowest points to make play-offs" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjak Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 The Racing Post publishes a large supplement called The Big Kick Off every pre season. It's very in depth, with all kinds of predictions, forecasts and suggested bets. I normally keep it to see if my bets ante post are any closer than theres, and, as they predict every position of every league, it is interesting......so. They had Forest as champs and Derby runners up. Norwich 15th just above us at 17th, not so good predicting then. It gets worse, Southend to win Div 1 and Fulham to finish 12th in Prem. They do get Man City and Liverpool 1st n 2nd and Huddersfield n Cardiff 21st n 22nd...........but thats not exactly coupon busting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastside Moonwalker Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Looking at Villa's games, they have Sheffield Wednesday, Leeds, us and Norwich still to play. Very well could lose all of them. Shame we could only get a draw against Ipswich and played terrible against Brum at home. At least with the teams coming down this year we could be well amongst it next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland-sweden Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 5 hours ago, Major Isewater said: This seems perfectly feasible but we could equally lose to Millwall and beat Villa or any other combination of results. Statistically , historically, 73 points is not enough to make the play offs is it ? If we can reach 73 points Im sure we will be in top six. Think we gonna make it. COYR!!!

reddogkev Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 After beating Sheff Utd with the result of the season, anything is possible, except maybe finishing 2nd! I'm going to tip us now to finish 5th. Villa in at 6th, Derby a close 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't seem possible after drawing with Ipswich; for the last two weeks I've been looking at the table, wishing we had banked those 2 points. But after winning Saturday, we can forget the misery of that lousy home draw and enjoy the thought of good times ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chowie Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 8 Games remaining. Split that into two lots of 4 games. 7 Points from next 4 & 7 Points from last 4 = Playoffs with 75 Points.

Wigan H, WBA H, Vila A, Reading H - W2, D1, L1 Sheff Wed A, Derby H, Millwall A, Hull A - W2, D1, L1 75 will be more than enough in my opinion, 6th and 7th staring slap bang at 71 points, extrapolated. Beat Wigan and the table will look fantastic Derby away at Brentford PNE home to 3rd Forest away, they dont win away Sheff Wed v Villa, take a draw lovely jubbly Boro away to Swansea Dont see many wins from the chasing pack there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ said in his post match presser that he might make lots of changes for Wigan. Taylor for a start maybe ? His movement might be important , maybe even Semenyo off the bench , elliasson to start as well ? Not good seeing Weimann on crutches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 3 great points tonight. 8 games left. 24 points coming our way. Top two still on. Flint was Flint. Rubbish. Great at hoofing the ball and man handling his man but apart from that? Rubbish. Only part of my prediction that was wrong was it wasn’t an OG and it didn’t come off his ass.

When there were ‘ handbags ‘ he lead away Pack and the City lads to save them getting punished by the ref. I’m sure he enjoys his football less these days even if his wages are a comfort.
