plymouthram Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 The Derby Telegraph's so called super computer predicts that the Rams will finish 13th on 60 points. Which means with 12 matches to go, we will only get another 15 points out of a possible 36. I don't beleive for one minute they have a computer that does this. Its just some journalist having a guess on all the remaining fixtures and results and coming up with a predicted final Championship table. They had Westbrom= Champs, Brentford= 2nd, Leeds= 3rd missing out on goal difference to Brentford, Forest=4th, Fulham=5th and Blackburn= 6th. I personally think we will collect about 18-20 points in our remaining fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re not 6th, and we’re not relegated, anything else doesn’t really matter. Therefore, if that was the end the result, I’d be pretty chuffed. Cheering on Fulham in the play offs. I’d but ducking setting myself if Leeds and forest miss out in the play offs. I’d love it if it were us making them cry, but if it has to be Fulham, then so be it.

They need to win 8 out of twelve to beat our total from 13/ 14 finishing third. Fulham who are third need to win 9 and draw 2 from 12 to finish above that total.. This league is very poor this season. Anyone who goes up will need to spend every penny they have to stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Sounds about right to me. We've improved a lot lately, but we've picked up a possible 12 points from 45 this season against teams in the top half and 9 of our remaining 12 games are against those teams. Throw that into the mix with our horrendous away record and I can certainly see why we're not expected to have a great run in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Did the Telegraphs supercomputer also predict and factor in our points deduction into that calculation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 "super computer" = someone running the season on footy manager several times and producing some copy for their newspaper. Although the old computers mentions got me nostalgic for my C64, typing in programs out of magazines, loading games on tapes. Ah, the days. And to think of the processing power in our mobile phones nowadays......we're living in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Nothing screams DET more than a “supercomputer” miraculously managing to predict a team that’s currently 13th will finish.... 13th. I mean without the benefit of unbelievably advanced technology none of us would’ve ever guessed that. Its far too difficult to predict anyway in the championship most of the time. Why bother?

SaintRam Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 It's not the DETs "supercomputer", I just looked it up. You've all fallen into the trap of thinking the DET still actually creates any content. It is TalkSport's predictive "supercomputer"; and like most predictions of this type everyone barely moves from their current positions, with a couple of exceptions thrown in to make it look better.
