uttoxram75 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Can't believe we've scored 8 goals less than your lot. with all our expensive strikers and even more expensive attacking midfielders. ftfy stoney old chap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Huddersfield aren't bad and gave us a good game at their place. Make no mistake that's a fantastic result for Forest and they will genuinely see themselves as automatic promotion chasers too. Burnley winning was abit of a blow but they won't run away with second place. QPR look a tired team and lack a goal threat. Second place is between four teams now. The Championship promotion race probably hasn't been this close/exciting in a long time Is that the same Huddersfield that lost 5-1 to the dirties, who are, it is agreed, ****. Huddersfield are one of those inconsistent teams where they either show up, or they don't. Taking nothing from Forest, good victory, this really will go down to the wire, but beating Huddersfield 3-0 doesn't necessarily make them world beaters.

Them beating Huddersfield away 3-0 matches any of our away games this season. Leeds may have tonked them at Elland Road, but Huddersfield were at home and have a solid home record - losing only three before last night. I expected Forest to scrape a draw or something, but comfortably winning 3-0 and being the better team was impressive. Gotta give it to Davros, he's dragging them up there and at the moment they don't look like losing a game. Their next three games are tough though and will be an examination of their automatic promotion hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Huddersfield do seen to be one of those teams that is prone to a collapse. Otherwise they'd be doing a lot better. So I'll reserve judgement until after the next few games. I'll give them a big sloppy kiss if they can beat Burnley for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Interesting run of games left for the chasing four.. Derby County home games: Bournemouth Millwall Bolton Forest Charlton Huddersfield Barnsley Watford Derby County away games: Sheffield Wednesday Burnley Reading Ipswich Middlesbrough Blackpool Doncaster Leeds Nottingham Forest home games: Leicester Wigan Doncaster Charlton Millwall Sheffield Wednesday Birmingham Brighton Nottingham Forest away games: Burnley Barnsley Middlesbrough Derby County Ipswich Queens Park Rangers Leeds United Bournemouth Burnley home games: Nottingham Forest Derby Leeds United Doncaster Leicester Middlesbrough Wigan Ipswich Burnley away games: Bournemouth Blackburn Birmingham Charlton Watford Barnsley Blackpool Reading Queens Park Rangers home games: Reading Leeds Yeovil Wigan Blackpool Forest Watford Millwall Queens Park Rangers away games: Charlton Sheffield Wednesday Birmingham Brighton Middlesbrough Bournemouth Blackburn Leicester Barnsley Derby's home record - 7th - played 15 - won 8, drawn 3 and lost 4 - 27 points Average of sides we play at home away record - 17th - 13 points Derby's away record - 2nd - played 15 won 8, drawn 4 and lost 3 - 28 points Average of sides we play away home record - 12th - 25 points --- Nottingham Forest's home record - 4th - won 9 - drawn 4 and lost 2 - 31 points Average of side they play at home away record - 13th -16 points Nottingham Forest away record - 4th - won 5 - drawn 8 - lost 2 - 23 points Average of side they play away home record - 10th - 26 points --- Burnley's home record - 3rd - won 9 - drawn 6 - lost 0 - 33 points Average of side they play at home away record - 10th - 19 points Burnley's away record - 3rd - won 7 - drawn 5 - lost 3 - 26 points Average of side they play away home record - 15th - 20 points --- Queens Park Rangers home record - 2nd - won 11 - drawn 3 - lost 1 - 36 points Average of side they play at home away record - 12th - 16 points Queens Park Rangers away record - 6th - won 5 - drawn 5 - lost 4 - 20 points Average of side they play away home record - 16th - 25 points That works out for me, going on the offset of home form/away form...etc Burnley are the most likely to pinch 2nd, we're second most likely, QPR third and Forest fourth. Obviously this works on averages though, Burnley's home games look very hard. Our's look easy, when you think we lost our first three home games, since September, we've only lost one home game, drawing 2 and winning 8... since Steve actually took charge we've won 8, drawn 1 and lost 1. We stand a good chance on that basis alone. oh, and my boss isn't in today - if you were wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Also to add, under McClaren we're averaging 2 points a game... which would leave us with 87 which is one point below the average of Champions total in this division, and is the same amount of points as the highest side that has finished 3rd. Well above the average it takes for promotion, but will it be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah, still think we'll finish 3rd and 4th. If they steal 3rd then I hope Brighton sneak in at 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
