Its only between us, Derby and Rotherham now. Thanks to forest late equaliser last night, Birmingham go into Saturdays game at Derby knowing they still need to get a result to avoid Rotherham overtaking them. So hopefully that game will at least be a draw, and Rotherham to be beaten at Barnsley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're even talking about us managing an unlikely 3 wins in a row, then if they lose the rest of their games (3) for the season, they'll remain on 47 points and be right in there too. More so than Birmingham really at this point - I forgot Rotherham could in theory overtake them but I find it very, very unlikely that Rotherham will now win 3 and draw 1 from their remaining 5 matches. But I do hope they want that safety and smash Derby on the weekend, it would do us a massive favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think we all of a sudden can get 9 from 3, Rovrum can get that in twice as many games. Rotherham will lose to Barnsley and Brentford to start with. Then they have Blackburn (H), Luton (A) and Cardiff (H). If we’re going to catch Derby we have to win at Pride Park, and win at least one more game than them. So the minimum is 2 wins from 3 for us, leaving us on 45 points. Obviously would need Derby to not beat either Birmingham or Swansea too then. So for Rotherham to finish above us they’d need 6 points, maybe even 7 points from those 3 games. Can’t see that tbh. Think it’s possible we can do it but if Rotherham or Derby pull off a win in any game you’d expect them to lose then that’s it over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, we can easily get beaten by Boro and it should be expected too. We have the worse away form in the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they won’t be winning more than 2 games again this season. Sadly we won’t win all 3 of our games either, as we are a bottom 3 team for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby get a battling win and we roll over and have our bellies tickled like usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) I just can't see us having the balls to do what is required. Three wins in a row from this lot? No chance imo. The moment they face the slightest bit of adversity they crumble. Not ideal when you are in a relegation scrap.

It’s probably only two wins required unless Derby beat Birmingham at the weekend or Rotherham upset Barnsley. 45 points will be about where the line is because these are 3 very poor teams we’re talking about. Not even confident we can do that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 A draw does us on Saturday, beat Forest and then finish Derby off. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I admire people’s optimism to say we don’t need to win all 3 games, but I don’t agree really. When you have two teams in front of you in the table, one with games in hand, we simply have to win all 3 games and let the dust lay when it lays 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowyer will give them a right old rocket, so I can see them making it a really tough day for Derby. My thinking is 1-1. That means if Moore can somehow find a plan to beat boro and the players find the bottle to pull It off we can chip another 2 points off them.

Tommy Crawshaw Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Derby v Birmingham is on Sky, so hopefully the Blues will be trying hard for the cameras and not just roll over for WRDCFC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
