airborne_rat_of_s6 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) What is the difference between three points collected or lost now, or later in the season? Edited November 25, 2015 by airborne_rat_of_s6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silkstone Owl Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 There's no such thing as 'making up ground' in this league....sod the others, let's just quietly go about our own business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dukeries Owl Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Could be a much harder game, now they have Lambert Could be a much duller game, now they have Lambert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynecoyne14 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 their recent form is decent tom lawrence went off injured in the last game-hopefully he's out, he looks a good player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daavies; Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Fortunately we've got Lopez and Sougou back fit so we've got some quality players coming back if things don't start going the way we hoped. Keep things tight and play our own game. I think he'll start with Joao this week it's so difficult for hooper to get into the team at the minute but what a player to bring on.

Davidioso Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Call me a traditionalist, but I thought it was generally accepted that we lose "must win" games as it is the "Wednesday way" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Bookies view - Blackburn strong favourites. 6/5 to win. We are 5/2 to win. Blackburn fans view - they seem to respect our form and think it will be a very tough game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markowl Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 3-3 with hat-tricks for both Rhodes and Joao leading to a mass debate on here on who is best. Nuhiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shandypants Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) So, I get the feeling that most people aren't that bothered about us winning this weekend, they're more bothered about semantics.

latemodelchild Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 We never seem to win the games that would see us make up ground on others. We lose and drop a few places, win and we tread water. The 2 statements above seem so true this season for some reason. Unlike the pub league pigs, who seem to have been rooted to their position for weeks despite not having won since Colonel Sanders was a private.

Unlike the pub league pigs, who seem to have been rooted to their position for weeks despite not having won since Colonel Sanders was a private. It is an incredible Championsip so far. The top 5 have been so consistent that even during our great recent run we have barely made up ground. But if we keep up the form of the last 11 games we get into the play-offs comfortably. The top teams all have really tough Decembers (as do we). If we have a decent month we will spend Christmas in the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PopePiusX Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I'd be happy with a points haul of somewhere between 1 and 3, which seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernOwl24 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I think what Shandy was saying is spot on and could have repercussions if we treat it as unimportant/ either way fixture. If we win we gain ground on top six. I think if we stay with the pack Chansiri will go for it this year with more investment come January, so yes it is a must win game. We lose this- fall away from the pack then Chansiri will wait until the end of the season. I think we need to stay at least within 5 points points of the pack by January- anymore and we can forget about major investment in January.

Holmowl Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 First 6 games 6 points. Second 6 games 11 points. Third 6 games will be 10,11 or 13 depending on the result. Extending this sort of form since the 6th game, 10 or 11 still puts us on track to flirt with play offs.13 and we are on the sort of trajectory to take us to an auto spot. It's not a must win. A draw keeps the belief in tact. A win, away to Blackburn, with a new ex prem manager would be fantastic and time to get seriously excited. A defeat though, is not a disaster.
