Numero Uno Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Imagine the racket that would be made if they were eighth and only two points off the play offs (in our world the Post call it “relegation battle on track”). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good win but they aren’t seriously in contention. What was this "something" that the reporter saw? Here is what I see: A mid table side averaging 1.41 ppg so far this season have slightly improved in the last 8 games to 1.5 ppg. Based on thier current "iconic" form of 1.5 ppg they are ahead of Lincoln City, and Oxford Utd in the form table and level with Blackpool, but BEHIND every other team in the top ten of league one and Northampton just below them. So based on the current form ppg, games left and total points acrued so far: Bristol Rovers would STILL lose further ground to Portsmouth, Peterborough, Bolton, Derby, Stevenage, Barnsley and Northampton. Bristol Rovers would make up ground on Lincoln City (gaining 8.88 pts) passing them, stay level pegging with Blackpool points difference wise, and make up a small amount of ground on Oxford United (gaining 2.88 pts). Their form has to be a lot better consistently to push for playoffs, the 12 point gap to make up is quite big conisdering the teams aorund them are likely decent. While you cannot rule it out you would not be gambling on this with any confidence. Also their GD needs to improve as if that was a decider they are a long way off the teams genuinely in playoff contenton in league one.

elhombrecito Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 I vividly remember, up until a few weeks before the end of the season where they plummeted our of the Football League, they were talking of a playoff push. Let's hope it works out equally well this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they get an away draw I tend to swear out loud, wherever I am. How can anyone possibly even consider them getting promoted as anything other than putrid..?

formerly known as ivan Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 As good as a win it was for them yesterday, someone might want to point out to them they are 12 points away from 6th place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 Bring back the Bristol derby? Well, for me as someone born in their supposed heartland (loads of city here, always has been) and growing up at a time when it wasn’t unusual for them to finish above us in the league and beat us, no way! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I always hated being in the same league as them. There is constant comparisons each week with results and then constantly trying to be higher than them in the league and then in the lead up to the derby then everything becomes about the derby. I much prefer being able to concentrate on ourselves in a higher league. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
