Superjack Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) If we win all our remaining matches. I mean, it's been about six centuries since we won two in a row, but **** it...

real_bristol Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Love this optimism. Reading finished 7th on 70 last season. Are we thinking a lower point score will be required for playoffs this time? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swede Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 We'll finish lower mid table and I will be completely happy with that considering the mess Nige inherited. I think that would be a considerable improvement and would represent a successful season. He's shaping the squad and has a clear vision with more "shaping" to be done over the close season. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBW Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Ok, I'll bite. All of the teams above us can't lose all of their games. They play each other! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those matches will be abandoned and the teams involved will be docked 20 points each. And we'll still finish 16th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loderingo Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Makes a nice change from the are we going down thread. I reckon we'll end up with 52-56 points, which will be good enough for 16th-18th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) We have 43 points - 14 points off the playoffs (Sheff U on 57) and 18 points from the drop (Barnsley on 25) but Barnsley have a game in hand so if they win that it would be only 15 points from the drop. I suppose mathematically that still makes us closer to the playoffs than the drop (by 1 point!!!), but if you consider our DREADFUL goal difference we would need an extra point (but I suppose winning all 9 of our remaining games would bring the GD down by at least 9) I have to say that making the playoffs is a nice thought, but massively unlikely!!!! The good news is that it's also massively unlikely we'll get relegated. Edited March 14, 2022 by bcfcredandwhite add words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is - but we would have to win all our remaining games by a comfortable scoreline (to offset our GD) and the other teams' results would have to go our way. It would have to be the perfect storm of miraculous results, so that chance is so small it would be the mother of all football freakouts if it happened!!!! Lets just see if we can win our next game and see how it goes from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzos Only Goal Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'm glad I read this today, a couple of proper belly laughs. Yesterday would not have been the same outcome rough end of norovirus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I know we're clearly not going to make the playoffs, but to get to 37 games and not be out of the picture mathematically represents a much better season than probably any of us expected.

We are out of it. Same goes for relegation. In fairness despite hovering around 16-18th for months we’ve never really been in a relegation battle either. We are a few points down on where I thought / hoped we’d be, but having seen some of the issues we’ve had, in part exposed by a small, young (at times) squad, we’ve done ok to not get sucked in. We’ve won games at regular enough intervals to ensure that. I’m not sure where we will end up, but we are in a bunch of 5 teams, Stoke (46), Swansea (44), Cardiff (43), us (43) and Brum (41) vying for 15th - 19th. Not glorious but ok in the grand scheme of things. This was always gonna be a tricky season to negotiate. There seems to be light at the end of the tunnel in my eyes too. Lets hope we can build a bit of momentum between now and the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nige's instructions this morning at training: "OK lads, you can stop pretending you're mediocre. Second part of the plan starts now and I'm allowing you to dominate every match."

I'm not sure whether that's a reflection of how we've done or whether the overall quality in the Championship has been lower this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I predicted an 18th-placed finish for us last August, and still think that’ll be roughly where we will end up. Anything else will be a welcome bonus, just like the progression of our youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
