Guest Ash76 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Just take each game as it comes and see what happens Edited March 10, 2019 by Ash76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HootHoot Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Can see Leeds and Norwich beating us unfortunately. That would then mean we'd have to win every game to have a chance. Not gonna happen this season I don't think but that doesn't mean we can't end on a high. I for one am glad that I'm able to enjoy watching us play again. Its amazing what can change in a few weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Starling Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 We play Norwich at Easter which is notorious for strange results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we certainly need to set up differently against some of those winnable games Bolton, Blackburn, Stoke, Forest, QPR - 12 points Bristol and PNE will be harder games - 4 points Villa Leeds Norwich will be the toughest out the lot - 3 points 68 points I make it - I reckon 76/77 will be required to get in. If, and a big if - we get Fletch back, Forestieri back, Hooper back for that run in where we play Forest, Villa, Leeds Norwich, Bristol in a row - we might pick up more.

londonowl Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 10 games left. 1 defeat and 3 draws would give us 70 points. Never going to be enough. 8 wins an absolute minimum and that probably wouldn't be enough. Season over but be good to get a good finish to the season to put some belief into the squad.

Tamworthowl Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 One defeat and three draws equals nine points dropped. To pass Bristol City they have to drop nine points more than us (5 points ahead, a game in hand and goal difference). So 11 games, they need to win five draw one to finish above us. Despite their recent bad run; dream over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both in pretty poor form though so 70 points isn't a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirthParkOwl Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Any one of ten teams from 6th to 15th can make the play-offs. Wednesday are in it, but have had a few slip ups(West Brom twice,etc) despite the unbeaten run. Beating The Pigs and Derby yesterday, would definately have made it interesting. Both Miwwaww and Fulham had Good, sustained runs from mid season, last season, with Fulham going up, deservedly and thankfully, Miwwaww just missing out and staying down. Could be another David Jones run this year, though unlikely now it seems.....but Bruce needs to step up the attack and get more early goals. Sustained consistency could do it...one game at a time.

Kopparberg Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Don’t think it will be for a lack of trying, but just not having enough players fit and available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Needed Bruce in 10 games earlier to have a chance. Looks very promising for next season though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthefish2002 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Beat Leeds and Norwich to allow Sheff U promotion but lose to Bolton and QPR. Its the Wednesday way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Derby are 6th but they've played a game more than Bristol. If we drop nine points, Derby have to drop 16 for us to pass them, in 10 games. To pass Bristol C it's 18 points in 11 games. Neither will happen. But if you think their current form will continue (get worse) and it will happen, then you also have to expect Preston and Brentford's form to continue too. Both are in better form than us and already above us. We will do well to finish 10th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 65 points would be a great total at season end. Top 10 hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
