TeaCider24 12,637 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) A draw for me as it ensures Huddersfield stay beneath us if we can draw ourselves and doesn't really help Luton. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,063 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 What we really need is someone to look at the fixtures for the teams around or below us and work out what the likely results would be so that we have some idea of just how many points are the minimum to aim for....I would do it myself but I am a lazy bugler (misprint)...I am beginning to think one win might see us safe but not totally sure Link to post Share on other sites
Maccarone 265 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I think probably 4 points more will be enough. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't run a business though so someone please correct me) and there's nothing illegal with this incident (besides the valuation issue) it still goes to show the kind of person Mel Morris is choosing as his bed fellows. The guy he loaned from is facing up to 15 years in prison for god sake. Also Derby fans are really trying to convince themselves this is a big ball of nothing (which it might be). Even as far as to say "It may also back up the fair value of the sale price? Why would someone lend Mel £81m if it's only worth £60m...?" Seems like a smart decision to me if it means he has 15 years to pay the loan back 🙂 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Luton: Huddersfield - A QPR - H Hull - A Blackburn - HBarnsley: Wigan - H Leeds - A Notts Forest - H Brentford - A Hull: Millwall - H Wigan - A Luton - H Cardiff - A Stoke: Birmingham - H Bristol City - A Brentford - H Notts Forest - A Charlton: Reading - H Birmingham - A Wigan - H Leeds - A Huddersfield: Luton - H Sheff Wed - A WBA - H Millwall - A Middlesbrough: Bristol City - H Reading - A Cardiff - H Sheff Wed - A Birmingham: Stoke - A Charlton - H Preston - A Derby - H Sheff Wed: QPR - A Huddersfield - H Fulham - A Middlesbrough - H Wigan: Barnsley - A Hull - H Charlton - A Fulham - H Luton - Think they've got a good chance for at least 6 more points hereBarnsley - Not even convinced they pick up a point, and don't see them winning another gameHull - Don't see them getting another win; although games against Wigan & Luton are huge lifelines for them.Stoke - Need to beat Birmingham cause I'm not sure they can beat any of the other 3Charlton - A good chance for 6 points at least, Reading & Birmingham. Wigan should beat them & Leeds should alsoHuddersfield - A decent run in, wins against Luton & Wednesday would be enoughMiddlesbrough - All arguably winnable but it really depends what Boro turn up. Have us down for 4 or 5 pointsBirmingham - Again, next two games crucial because I don't see them beating Preston or DerbySheff Wed - All winnable games bar Fulham IMO.Wigan - Easiest schedule of the lot, especially in their current form. Should beat Barnsley, Hull & Charlton & avoid the drop even with the 12 point deduction. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BearSmog 1,382 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm going for a relegated trio of Barnsley, Hull and Birmingham.. Link to post Share on other sites
Smogzilla 7,482 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Stoke look doomed with that fixture list. Which probably means they'll win all 4 and survive comfortably Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,637 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I think a couple of teams will be virtually safe after tomorrow, hopefully we are one of them. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
