BIG D Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Looking at the table I’m not sure the likes of Forest, Derby, Norwich, Cardiff, Preston etc will be near the bottom at the end of the season. So the clubs we have to look to catch are Wycombe, Barnsley, Huddersfield and Coventry. That puts us still 11 points from safety. Lots of work to do, not sure we’re up to it. Fingers crossed.

SiJ Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We don't have a prayer of stopping up if we don't sort out our home form. I just fear that Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry's mindset is too negative for us to stop up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Early days but if we are still cut adrift around Christmas I fully trust DC to act early enough like he always does and make a change in management before it’s to late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 It’s too early to start thinking about which specific teams we are looking to catch - it’s only 4 games into the season FFS. If we get 62 points, deducting the 12 penalty, which would leave us on 50, which would probably be enough to keep us up. Its in our own hands at the end of the day 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnchanter Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I've considered and read so many scenarios and statistics, possibilities and eventualities. Just ******** win and sort out the toxic home form which is killing us. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in our own hands at the end of the day To reach 62 points we will need to win at least 14 more matches and that's if we draw 15 as well. So in the 42 games left W14 D 15 L13. Win 1 in every 3 games, not impossible but given we've won only 1 home game in the last 10 months a tall order. If we have spells of going 3 or 4 games without a win like now, the pressure builds to have to put winning runs together to keep up the required win rate.

Guest Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Not only are we relying in Gary and the lads to pull off results we are also relying on teams just above us to lose Not a good place to be 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time we put 2 league wins together was December when he brought Jordan Rhodes into the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we put three teams below us at the end of May then objective achieved. Couldn't give a sh!t who those teams are, feel one might be fairly local though.

Interestingly Monk has started Rhodes in 9 games and we won 4, drew 3, lost 2. In the 35 games under Monk when he hasn't started Rhodes we've won 9. So a far better winning % when Rhodes starts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you are right, it's a shame others refuse to see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
