Erimus 63 478 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The main aim is to finish as high as possible, regardless of how many points will achieve which position. Ideally we need to finish in 3rd, or 4th so the second leg in the first play-off match is at home, which is definitely an advantage to have. I'm not writing off an automatic spot, however 3rd, or 4th place is the more likely scenario. Link to post Share on other sites
Downsouth 6,175 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Apart from Bournemouth losing no favourable results cam our way which means to stay in contention we have to match others results but certainly we can not afford to lose. TBH I think there is only one autospot remaining I can not see anyone catching up with Fulham 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Naisby 736 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I think it’s the playoffs that will give us a chance of promotion realistically. yes we have about 20 matches to go and we got a squad that could get an automatic spot, but head and heart and experience tell me that Fulham have got one of the auto spots, and the rest of the teams including ourselves are all battling for a single spot.

Therefore we need 44 points from our remaining 20 games (60pts) to play for. That is a tall order regardless of how you do the maths. We would need to win around min of 13 of our last 20 games to be in with a shout imo. And even then we need some draws and very few losses. 15 wins, no draws and 5 losses. 45pts 14 wins. 2 draws and 4 losses. 44pts 13 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. 44pts 12 wins, 8 draws and 0 losses. 44pts. As for a 6th spot finish. 75pts should do it. We need 33pts for that. Which seems a lot more doable. @Blanco i will leave it to you to tell me the average points needed for champions. Haha. I think Wilder should get a knighthood if he takes up in 2nd spot never mind 1st 20 wins, no draws, no losses = 60 points Total 102 points = Going up as Champions 💪 Simple really @TLF10 and a lot less maths to do as well 😂😂😂 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I learned a valuable lesson last Saturday. Never have more than a couple of pints when Boro get a late winner. By the time we got back to York he had convinced me to let him go. So we are staying over and rushing back in the morning for school. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
edinboro 804 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Re who starts. I think it's fascinating that Watmore is now 3rd in line behind the new guys. I think his energy levels are the reason. I thought Connolly settled down in the game last Saturday and showed what he will be able to do. I think he will do ok. Flo looked very impressive when he came on. He does look suited to playing on the left so interesting to see where he gravitates to when he plays. After watching the Hull game I think we can really go for Blackburn. They leave the midfield wide open and seemed to play 523. Hopefully the watching on Wilder and Knill have hatched a cunning plan. Hope everyone has a good journey over and we get a good result. Link to post Share on other sites

Naisby 736 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 For Hull they played Blackburn the day that a new owner took over and they got the inevitable bounce, If we come away from Ewood Park with a draw I will be happy, I’ve driven there and back on numerous cold midweek nights and a draw is more than we often get. For those of you who have never experienced the joys of a mid week mid winter night at Ewood Park, my advice is warm clothes, get out before the whistle blows and take a point as a decent return. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

We need an Alan Kernaghan moment. Have we had more hat tricks than any other away ground at Blackburn? Is it Kerny, Boksic and JFH? Any others? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
