RodleyRam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Define easy though, playing relegation threatened sides at this time of the season is not easy. Playing mid table sides at this time of the season is not easy as they tend to relax and put on a show for the fans etc. There will be many more twists and turns yet, of that you can be absolutely certain!

Leicester Ram Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 We've got a few toughies out of the way, not just QPR and Leicester, but some hard games from the play-off pushers like Brighton and Wigan. If you'd offered me 6 points against QPR, Leicester, Brighton and Wigan I'd have reluctantly taken it; but we should have beaten Wigan. I reckon once we've got past Forest, there's a possibility for a really good run. We play extremely similar teams to which we had the 7 wins run against and falling at the best time of the year possible. However, there are 3 extremely difficult games in March Burnley (A) depending on their result against Forest this weekend, it can either make sure we keep up with them or put some real distance between us. Reading (A) This will be such a tough game, I'd be chuffed with a point.The two games we have prior to this are "easy" and if we can put two pretty wins in, it will help our confidence. Forest (H) Jesus Christ, do I even need to explain. I hate the cliche but a real 6 pointer. The toughest it gets after that is Ipswich away on a Tuesday night and Leeds away on the last day. My hopes are pinned on mustering a mighty run towards the end which propels us to second. Burnley Them not getting any points in the next 3 games is entirely plausible, they've got Forest (H), Derby (H) and Blackburn (A). I don't think any of the sides can afford to lose three on the trot right now especially when it's to two of their rivals. A defeat to Blackburn could really take the wind out of their sails too, nowt' worse than losing to your local rivals. Also still have to play Leicester, Wigan, Reading and Ipswich. Forest Slight stumble in the last 7 days but a win at Burnley could turn it around. However their next few weeks are tough; Burnley (A), Wigan (H), Boro (A) which look like a set of classic Billy Davies 'good points'. Away games are their weakness and there are a few tough away games; Derby, Ipswich, QPR, Leeds and Bournemouth. Can't see many points from them. Fortunately they've got Yeovil out of the way completely. QPR Brighton (A), Boro (A), Wigan (H), Bournemouth (A), Blackburn (A), Forest (H), Leicester (A). Most of their toughest games are away and they slip up against little teams a lot. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtains Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 All our home games look winnable and with the away form it's possible for 2nd. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/derby-county/fixtures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aidan DCFC Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I had two 50 pound bets with two of my forest mates at the start of the season. That Derby would finish against Forest this season. How id love to stuff leeds on the last day to make this happen, and get home 100 quid up. Living the dream.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I think the run of Reading (A), Forest (H) and Ipswich (A) will be the key moment. If we are still well placed and in with a shout of second by then, I would be confident of us taking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Sometimes it's better to play teams in the top 6 in the run in as the games will be 6 pointers. The relegation teams will be battling as hard as anything. However yes I would back us more at Doncaster away than I would Leicester at home.

davenportram Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Teams around us will drop points playing each other. Ideal results for this weekend Burnley draw with Forest QPR lose or draw we win by 3 goals Would put us second (on goals scored) 4 or 5 points clear of QPR (game in hand taken care of) 5 points ahead of Forest If Forest fluke a win and QPR win we'd be second 2 points above 3rd and 3 points above 4th If Burnley win and QPR win Wed be third 2points ahead of QPR, 7 points ahead of Forest and 3 points from Burnley In short if we win on Saturday then manage to win against Burnley chances are we'd be second (GD dependant) with momentum.

Ambitious Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Watching Buxton celebrate on Tuesday, you could see it hit home in his mind this is a real possibility. Our run in couldn't be much kinder too us - we just need to keep picking up those wins, 4-2-4 all the way! I am bubbling underneath the surface because I feel like we can do it, it's like waiting on an acca with 2 teams left, and both are playing against two sides with 10 men. You know it should be yours and you know it's possible, however, you know full well it could **** up. I'm really excited about the possibility - the play-offs would be fantastic too, I think we would stand a good chance in that and the possibility of playing Forest is daunting yet could potentially create memories that stick with you until the day you pass. I'm trying to enjoy every game as it comes, knowing full well I feel this is ours to lose.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 tell you what if we get promote then the season ticket will be a great dealTwo adults and an under 12 all for £285 - that's about £5 each per game. Great deal.So for any who has renewed there is a lot of money riding on promotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 When is the renewal deadline? Ta March 15th to qualify for early bird and money back thingy After that prices go up but not told how much by yet. I would assume if we are in second and looking good they will go up huge amounts.
