When you take Ipswich out of ours, I expect our "average difficulty" will drop significantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Blackburn need to hit some good form Middlesbrough A Ipswich H Sunderland A Southampton H Bristol City A Leeds A Wednesday H Coventry H Leicester A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCOwls Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 If Brum and Blackburn were to drop im desperate even more so as a Derby fan to get promotion. This league (L1) is absolutely depressing but it'd be so difficult to get out of next season with the three going up from L2 and the possible 3 coming down from the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an awful set of fixtures. They’re going to be really focusing that game against us as I can see them failing to win from the rest. it’s especially bad when you consider their recent form against much much easier teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that list they will be lucky to pick up a point before they play us , Bristol or Sunderland their best chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Cant update this just yet, I’m away for the weekend without my laptop. All’s not well at Huddersfield by the sounds. The team received dogs abuse from their fans after the 0-0 at the Chuckledome yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team received dogs abuse from their fans after the 0-0 at the Chuckledome yesterday. I keep saying this but 8 wins in 38 games then they have to win at least 4 in their last 8. It’s a big ask. Not sticking with the caretaker might well cost them. The picture will be more clearer as it always is after Easter. We need 4 points at least from our 2 games.

smhouston Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Certainly don't think it's as favourable for us as people make out. Whilst you can argue we have it in our hands with the majority of teams were playing being around us, the pressure is going to be enormous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 Everyone’s under pressure. I would say teams that have been sucked in recently are under more than us. Blackburn will definitely be feeling it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJM Owl Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 To some extent this is still in our hands at this point - we play 3 teams that are still within 4 points of us (QPR, Stoke and Blackburn). Beat QPR - we go above them if we match their results from now until the end of the season Beat Stoke - we go level on points but behind on GD. Beat Blackburn - we’re a point behind a team in woeful form if we beat them. Ultimately our season will come down to these 3 games now. We could get 10 points from the other 5 but lose these 3 games and we’re probably down due to the points swinging the other way. If we can get 5 or 7 points from these 3 games, we have a good chance of staying up if we can win one of the other games - lose two of these three and it’s all over basically.

BIG D Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Blackburn 5/1 to go down on Paddy Power. I know that they have a bit of a points cushion at the moment but looking at their fixtures that seems generous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthefish2002 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 You can have all the graph you like and all the discussions about who has the hard run in etc. Basically it going to go down to the last game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 (edited) I don't dare to dream because I don't want to jinx it, so I'm going to stick to being a miserable bugger and that we'll come up short (and hope fate makes me look stupid, again). That said, if Bannan and Poveda are missing for any period of time, we are f*cked. Edited March 18 by striker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 If we can get out of the bottom 3 on Good Friday I think we’ll be able to hang on. If not I feel we will probably just come up short possibly on GD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i feel that if we ever get ourselves above the relegation line we would actually stay there, but whilst we are in the bottom 3 i can't look beyond relegation yet. I suppose its because our form since October is that of a top 12 side, so you would think once out the drop zone we would stay there. But thanks to Munoz and Chansiri, we are still trapped in the drop zone despite our upturn in form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG D Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Finally updated. Everyone plays on Good Friday & Easter Monday. If we can beat Swansea it could be a momentous day because a lot of the others have difficult games. Don't forget thanks to the Birmingham v QPR game if we beat Swansea and Huddersfield don't beat Coventry then we will be out of the bottom 3. Millwall v WBA on EM is 13.00 KO so will be all over by the time everyone else kicks off. I keep saying Blackburn are in big trouble but we need to win 2 more games than them. When we go there it's going to be at best a 'must not lose'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
