Popular Post BIG D Posted January 22 Popular Post Share Posted January 22 Keep the faith, loads of points to be won. It looks as if it's down to us and these three at the moment. First thing to notice is that we have to play the other 3 teams away and QPR have the other 3 to play at home. Let me know if you spot 'owt wrong. UPPER CASE = HOME GAME lower case = away game Yellow highlight = game v relegation rival Blue highlight = game v top 4 team 6 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UPPER CASE = HOME GAME lower case = away game Yellow highlight = game v relegation rival Blue highlight = game v top 4 team First thoughts from the list. Rotherham's next three games are about as hard as you can get right now. Our season could be decided whether is on or off before 13th February. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oh_weds_we_love_you Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I'd accepted relegation back in October, and then the hope came along. Now, we can't seem to get out of the bottom 3 when it looked inevitable we would! A lot of twists and turns to come, but it's pretty depressing knowing it's probably going to be 3 from 4 - hopefully, another club or two will get reeled in. Sadly, it doesn't look as though Danny will get the support we had hoped for, so we just need to get behind the team and hope Danny and the team can keep getting results against those around us (forgot the Coventry's and Saints of this world, they're out of our league) - and hope it's good enough. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 It looks very tough. I don't subscribe to the thinking that some clubs 'are out of our league' our points against Leicester and Leeds are an example of that - plus beating Hull albeit against 10 men. Every game is vital, we are running out of games and time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We've been down since before a ball was kicked this season. That table does nothing to persuade me otherwise. In fact, it does the opposite. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Looking at how many points we have, and the number of points still available - I hate to say it, but we've no chance of the Play-Offs now. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tewkesbury Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 If you look at the divide that has appeared between the bottom 10 and the rest of the league, any of the bottom 10 could easily be dragged into the relegation spots. It's also handy to look at who have played who twice and who they have left to play in the run in as well as where the points are coming from. For 6 of the bottom 10, their points in the second half of the season have almost exclusively come from each other with only us, Millwall, Swansea and Plymouth getting wins outside the bottom 10. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 The only thing I’d say is that we have had by far the hardest fixtures so far this year and only QPR have got the same number of points in that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally get what you are saying - but look at the games at the tail-end of the season, 7 or 8 of the teams we play will be in and around the Play-Offs, we may have to beat some of them to stand any chance of staying up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Leicester and Ipswich away might aswell not bother turning up. Finish away at Sunderland, never do much there. We are gonna have to rely on our home form I'm afraid and that isn't great. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and hopefully we'll have picked up another points from those around us to be in with a chance of escaping the drop zone with a few surprise results at the end.

Tewkesbury Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, Watto said: I don't understand that graph /table help? Teams across the top. Opposition teams down the left in league position order. Green - win Yellow - draw Red - loss White - still to play, gameweek number in box. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

royalowlisback Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 We still have to play the teams in these current league positions. 3rd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th and 13th We are going to need a decent amount of points from these games, because that is half of our remaining games. A very tall order. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
