TroyDyer Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I don't like Derby when we expect to win. That said, our poor performance on Wednesday would have helped knock out any complacency. Think we'll lose one game. Huddersfield away. We'll beat pool, ath, and sley. 9 points from 12. Winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 In the year Brian Clough got us promoted to the (old) 1st division, we lost 2-0 at Charlton. I was there, don't know how we lost but they were fellow promotion candidates. Amusingly, so were Milwall, whose fans were there in thousands, cheering on the Rams! They were in the promotion mix too, and it would have been in their interests for us to win. Amazing place, the old Valley, half empty and still 30,000+ there. So, if history repeats itself and we lose, history records we later won our last 9 games on the bounce, I think (memory a little blurred). Happy, happy days.

davenportram Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Top by new year I reckon ( but it involves the Gumps upsetting form) We should beat Donnie and Huddersfield Then we need QPR to only pock up a point from Leicester any Forest Leicester to pick up no more than 4 from QPR and Reading Burmnley to pick up no more than 3 points from Blackpool and Biro Its likely that QPR will win one of their games but the chance is there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 It'll be tight this time of year. Before 2014: Burnley will get 3 points more, so 46 overall. QPR will get 4, so 46. Lessta same 4, 46. We will get 6, 46 but just in front of Burnley with gd +21 against their 20. In the end of season gaps are lot bigger. Burnley will fade away after selling Ings in January QPR without Macca is fairly average. Lessta and us runaway to get easy automatic promotion. (Leicester unfortunately winning the title.) Playoff winner will be Blackburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagerbob Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I fancy Wigan to make a charge now that Rossler is in charge. I think they are 100% since their new manager came in. They also have a squad up there with the festers and QPRs Will be a toughie on New years day. Just waiting for Burnley to do a Blackpool and slip away. But something tells me they might be this years Hull, who somehow just keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodleyRam Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Next 3 games are massive for our season, if we can come out with 4 - 7 points i'd be absolutely thrilled! I would take a defeat against Huddersfield to bounce back with 6 against Barnsley and Wigan. If we're 3rd going into the Chelsea game I'd definitely take that. I think we'll lose against Huddersfield, beat Barnsley and sneak a draw against an impressive Wigan side. 4 points putting us into 3rd on goal difference. A point behind Burnley and 3 behing Leicester. QPR 4th on goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't win both matches I wouldn't consider them a threat to our automatic promotion push one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 Just wanted to highlight that in 2014 we have 12 remaining home fixtures. Of those 12 teams we face at home 9 are currently in the bottom half of the table from Wigan downwards. Our push for automatic promotion will be at home. I expect us to aim to pick up 27 points out of a possible 36 at home in 2014. I would be happy with 24 from 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
