Archie Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 With just 6 points separating the top six, has it ever been this tight at this time of the season? Squeeky bum finish to the season on the horizon with teams looking like they'll be chopping and changing until the death. Let's not get complacent, a few iffy results could see any team slip out the top half dozen. Nothing won yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It's great isn't it?But I still maintain it's so tight because the quality for 2/3 of the division is so poor. Not only are the top six so strong at present, but their GD is just ridiculous. There is like a 42 goal swing between us and a fellow team (Huddersfield) in the top half - that's insane.A couple of seasons ago Hull City got promoted on 79 points with a +9 GD. I'd imagine sixth spot will actually get more than that this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 If we can get through the next 3 games without slipping up, we then face Norwich. We win that game then I don't think we will look back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoylestoneRam Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 The table must make heartbreaking reading for any red dog though. 15 points off of the play offs and 21 points off of their biggest rivals. Bless 'em!I thought they'd already won the league back in September. N'aww! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimmerman Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Pure entertainment! Dont get me wrong, love the rams and would love to see them promoted like the rest of us, but am seriously enjoying this season and tues/sats at the moment are really exciting at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 It is tight, but a Forest win or draw would certainly go a long way. Five points clear of Ipswich and Bournemouth with 13 games to play sounds delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertRam Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 In fact they still have to face Boro, Norwich and Ipswich as well, thank god they seem to be playing better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Remarkable (Jeff) that no one is falling away. If you project season-long form to the end of the season, the lowest playoff position will have 82/83 points! Surely nothing like this has ever happened before?I so hope the gumps win tomorrow, not just because it would knock Bournemouth back, but because some of them genuinely seem to believe they have some kind of chance of still making the playoffs. In football, it's the hope that kills you, and the closer they get, the more they'll hate physco for ruining their season when that hope finally evaporates.This season there are 8 decent Championship teams and everyone else is an also-ran. The team in 9th (whoever that is) is 15 points off the playoffs but only 13 above the relegation zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 We've lost to as many also-rans than fellow top 8 contenders. Very difficult to generalise this division. But I am quietly fancying us to better 90 pts by a clear margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notts_ram Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 It's ours to throw away if we don't get automatic promotion there's only us to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazram80 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Not only is it ours to throw away but there is still a chance that we may not even make the play offs! Which is a concern considering we have no fit cf or decent cdm. Even though I know it does not work think Hughes should move to cdm at least he can pass.

gazram80 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We would have to have a bad run is basically what you're saying Notts ram. Agreed but a loss on Tues the nerves start big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 There are so many games between all of the top teams to play. It's anyone's call between the top 5 now. I think outside of that the other teams just are not strong or good enough to win enough. 12 games left, I can't see Ipswich winning two more than us. Bournemouth play Wolves next, loose that and us win our next game along with another team above them and then I think it becomes a 4 horse race.

PistoldPete2 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Yes but even a four horse race is unusual , look at last year we were 6 points behind burnley this time last year and fester ran away with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
