Chester40 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just me finding myself slyly looking at permutations...other teams fixtures.. thinking would I rather Forest beat or lose to a rival.. Is that mad? Or is it only when it's mathematically gone? What about if we beat Fulham..game on?? ...or get a good hiding - is it over then??

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Think it was a few weeks ago after bristol or Blackburn was it I gave up. Theres very little chance we can make up the points on teams in front - it isn't just one team but quite a few. Think we would need 6 wins now and that would probably just take it to the last day. Think there's almost zero chance but next season fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GB SPORTS Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Think we need to win all seven to stand any chance whatsoever. Definitely now a victory against Fulham is required after today, I believe that if we lost on Tuesday even the six wins won't be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've already given up, it's a big ask for us to win every game and have a team that's been up there all season to have a monumental....well, us a couple of seasons back, type of collapse. Surprisingly, I haven't got the hump about it on reflection, it's been a turbulent season, a top 10 finish wouldn't be that bad considering. I'll rue all the late goals we've conceded and cost us wins at some point but that's the wacky world of DCFC, we rarely make things easy for ourselves but we'll go again next season in the hope Rowett's the man to sort us out.

Day Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Just can't see it, if we're looking at taking 6th you have 4 clubs above us and 8pts difference. Last 7 games form Fulham W3 D3 L1 Pts 12 Sheff Wed - W1 D2 L4 Pts 7 Preston - W2 D3 L2 Pts 9 Norwich - W1 D3 L3 Pts 6 We need to hope they all continue the same form and Derby win all their remaining games just to scrape in. One of those 4 will turn it around and with the points advantage will see them through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 On Tuesday I expect. Cant see us beating Fulham who are 8 points clear of us. We need to beat them , and the wendies too. And probably nearly all our remaining games too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely last season taught football fans (and players) that anything is possible - the players have to believe and I don't think some of ours do.

Coneheadjohn Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm just happy the players haven't given up. As long as its mathematically possible I won't give up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 One plus point, we have games against Fulham and "every football chant is our copyright" Wednesday. Fail to get three points v Fulham and slim hopes become none. Its pretty slim now, slim enough to say there's no pressure or expectation to make it. Just no quite dead certainty yet. I look at this as a bonus little bit of incentive over the next few as opposed to let's see what rowett is looking for next season / playing out the remaining fixtures for nothing.

I think Rowett is looking for a real attempt at 7 wins, he'll want to see what the players have to give, there's everything for them to play for.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Fulham have a tough run on paper, Sheff Weds too. Fulham play us, Ipswich and then Norwich. (I expect them to get 4 points) Wednesday play Rotherham, Newcastle and Cardiff. (I expect 4 points also) We have Fulham, Brum, Brentford. (9 points is a must) If that is how it goes, we would go to 65 points, 3 points behind Wednesday and 4 behind Fulham. With 4 games to go and a game against Sheff Weds still to play. WE CAN DO IT!!!!!

If that's what rowett is looking for great. Rowett has the job of trying to do that and if we finish the season strong, then that's fantastic. Doesn't change my view on it being a bonus that the glimmer that is there is there at all after "February".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that I do get plenty of flack so I'm allowed to crack a little grin at threads like the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester40 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Part of me is thinking it's crazy to even consider it... Then a still fairly rational other part thinks..Well we (have to) beat Fulham (they need the points so will be an open game) and Sheff W (struggling at moment ). We only need them to slip up once more (which will doubtless happen) and it will go to the last day when anything can happen. So we just need to play to our potential and its not totally unfeasible... Till we go behind in first 10mins to Fulham!! Then it looks again like a crazy (crack) pipe dream.
