nfb Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I'm always curious about our views on here. Sadly i cant see us getting more than about 9/10 points in Feb, there are 5 tricky games ahead and i'm wondering if people are realistic about what we might get from the very busy and difficult schedule. Its not doom and gloom just my view.. and im curious as to what others feel, will 9/10 points from 5 games be good or will be looking for the razor blades...

RiddingsRam Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 For me there's 12 points that if he have any aspirations of making the play offs we need to be getting . The other two away games I'd take anything we could get our if them . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 A real positive is Since Pearson was sacked, we have got 37 points from 18 matches, just over 2 points a game (automatic promotion form). This has allowed us a little bit of leeway. If we can get to the end Feb and be within 5 points of the playoffs I'd be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Looking at February though, I don't actually think it's that tough. Three home games where we should be picking up maximum points from. Away to second bottom, again you'd hope we can get three points. Villa away will be tough but they're hot and cold. We're just as likely to win there as we are to lose. Newcastle is the only game where I would expect us to lose. I'm predicting 12 or 13 points from 18 overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can't be that bad again. No one ever will be. That's the thing - people forget how terrible we were, and we should use it to get a sense of perspective. Here we are, wondering if we'll get 11 points in just one month... Every single season, a few Derby fans get all excited about Sunderland losing two games in a row in August - "could our record be broken??" - when more often than not, the team at the foot of the table already has more points by Christmas than we got all season. That record is not going to be broken in anyone's lifetime. Feb is tough, but not as tough as 2007/08. We were a League One side trapped in the best league in the world.

Indeed you would hope we'll never witness anything like that again, but Nigel Pearson bloody well tried his best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes an unfathomable level of endeavor to maintain those heights of ineptitude over an entire season. Pearson wasn't up to the challenge.

And 13th place Villa who haven't won since Boxing Day. If Newcastle wasn't there then we'd be looking at a pretty decent month in terms of 'winnable' games.

Kernow Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 How's this for a nice run of fixtures though? In their next six games, Sheffield Wednesday play 19th, 21st, 12th, 23rd, 19th and 15th. We'll need a good February to keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will not lose against villa, in fact I will predict a 2 -1 victory to the mighty Rams against villa. We will probably get a draw against Newcastle as well, as Mr Mac will get the lads fired up, and a Ince wonder goal will give us a 1-1 draw, well that what I hope for anyway, lol.
