Ashtonwurzel Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Rotherham need to win 6 from 12 to get to 47 points. Not likely ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snufflelufagus Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Unlikely but if you said to the other teams we would win 4 of the last 5 who would have bet on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Highly unlikely even without consulting their run in. I would think, for obvious reasons, they are our biggest threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC11 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 A few tough games coming up for Rotherham, next 4 - Sheff Weds (a) Middlesbrough (h) Derby (h) and Ipswich (a) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBristolian Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thing is I just don't think Rotherham have the quality to go on the kind of run we have. On top of which, even if Rotherham prove me wrong, mk dons now have to overhaul us too. To my mind there is absolutely no question that our biggest threat is ourselves. If we keep it together, nobody will catch us. If we fall back into what we were doing earlier in the season or against Brighton, that's where the threat lies.

Hopefully they have more away games than home though as I can see them winning most of their homes games. Next 2 home games are Boro and Derby, sandwiched between trips to Sheff Weds. and Ipswich. It's not inconceivable they could lose all 4 of them. Going to be a bumpy ride for a few of weeks, but I think we've got enough about us to keep or head above water. Beating Rotherham at home in early April will be the clincher, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've beaten a fairly mediocre Brentford team on Saturday but that's only their sixth home win all season (two more than us admittedly) and I think it's a bit premature to take as evidence they've turned the corner. As glynriley says, their next four fixtures are tough. One win from those four would be an achievement but also nowhere near enough. If they can take more than 6 from Boro, Derby, Sheff Weds and Ispwich, I'll start to see them as a threat but I just can't see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 They do have to play MK in a week or two as well so win that and who knows?

Chairman Mao Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Feels like the bottom 3 will stay the bottom three, funny that Fulham are now closer to the turd than us why did they sack their manager, they are the best side I've seen this season aside from perhaps Brighton and Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downendcity Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 As commented in another post I think we are the only team we should fear. With recent results, quality in the team, Kodjia finding the net and momentum if we concentrate on what we need and have to do then we will be safe. If the old City starts turning up ( defeat from jaws of victory) then jangly nerves could offer an escape route for other basement huggers who get on a roll.

ashton_fan Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I think Bolton and Charlton probably already down, but Rotherham could overtake MK or Fulham (who are dropping like a stone currently), sure we'll be OK though. Re next season LJ says we will strengthen but we will lose Baker and Tomlin who have made the difference for us (as well as Golbourne but fortunately we'll still have him), so we'll probably need 5 or 6 players in the Summer especially if loans are to be restricted as planned next season.
