Bob4Jane Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Yeah, I just sent a copy of the league table from Dec 20th and today to my mate (reading fan. It was then I realised how amazing we have done. Compare to Plymouth. Same period: 10 games, 6 points. Ouch. And Wolves... 8 points. How about this, stat-fans: If Wolves had hit our fun of form in the past 10 games, they'd now be 21 points clear at the top 'o' the table on 81. I really hope that Wolves don't claw it back! So many times, they look strong and thier fans (and usually the boss-man) give it large, but they often don't quite seem to last the distance. I almost feel sorry for 'em.

screech Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 I would be amazed if Wolves don't get enough points to go up with the fixtures they have left. On paper they should breeze it. Cardiff have a very good looking run-in as long as they don't burn out cramming lots of games in. Reading have 8 AWAY games left, 4 in March and 4 in April, that's going to be hard going. Brum have a mixed bag, still have left to play all of the current top 6 home or away. Who knows what will happen, I'm just glad that we have dragged ourselves out of what could have been a very different end to the season had we not found some fantastic form 10 games ago.

Pete1975Legend Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Could we get to the top 2. Judge for yourself. On 31st December the table looked like this we were a whopping 24 points behind the leaders in 12th place On Sunday 22nd February 8 Games later and now that lead is only 11 We could do this!!!!!!

Will Rollason Posted February 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Form wise , we are top.. obviously :D Wolves are 2nd BOTTOM and very lucky to get anything from Cardiff whilst Reading and Brum are stalled in 12th and 13th place respectively. On our current form ( 2.5 pts per game) we would finish on a very healthy 83 pts. Our season average though is 1.5 which would give us 71pts which was enough for 6th last season ( Watford) and looking at our fixtures seems fairly realistic I thought we would finish just out of the play offs but this run has really given us a good chance of another lottery ticket. Mind you after the Reading game ... :Believe: we might do anything. you reds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednready Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 We have players coming back from injury, McCombe, Styvar and James Wilson. We have Trundle available on recall and Adebla hitting a hot streak. IMO its down to injuries and GJ's selections, then automatic would not be impossible. Selections will vary, especially if we have two games in a week or have players with a niggle. Elliot I have left out because groin tears are a long term injury requiring plenty of rest. My best squad if all fit. Basso Orr Carey Fontaine McAllister Sproule Williams Skuse McIndoe Maynard Adebola Bench : Weale, James Wilson, Noble, Izzy, Styvar/John. I don't rate McCombe or LJ ahead of Fontaine, Williams or Skuse. Before you ask ! Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
