(I must, however, point out that for now at least, I am only referring to this season!) The fact is, that is my belief. The fact is, that is my opinion. Similarly, I do not believe in God. Fact. I do not believe in the afterlife. Fact. I do not believe Derby County will ever win The Champions League. Fact. See what I'm saying? ?

The Rotherham result slightly skews that, it's just not shown as it was technically a different matchday number after being postponed. Even still, 15 points from 18 in our position is an incredible return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinman Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 14 wins would get us in the play offs at the end of the season. 4 more wins will see us safe from relegation. SKRam, Rampage and Carl Sagan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Cardiff have not scored even 1.5 points a game yet. Bournemouth need to lose a couple to bring them back to 1.5 points per game. That means that cracking streak of wins makes these teams catchable, realistically 13-14 wins from our remaining games. There are so many games between rivals for that 6th spot that an upset is possible by one or two teams. We need to win five out of our next six to seriously pressurise those teams above us. Wayne reckons that our players do not know how good they are. Perhaps the Rams fans do not know that either.

Rampage Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I am somewhat amazed that Wayne said that he is happy with his squad. Wayne was only able to ship a few out and bring in five loans. He has not complained about anything, he just gets on with it. This is remarkable to me considering his ultra successful background. He knows what he wants and how to get it. It will be very interesting to see how he lines up and plays against Watford. archram, ziggyram59, Rammy03 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the chances are he’s not completely happy but there’s nothing he can do about it now. So perhaps, being more intelligent than some people give him credit for, he knows it won’t help players self confidence to say he’s unhappy. He probably thinks he’ll get the best out of them if he shows believe in them. Emotional intelligence and all that.

He knew he had enough to get out of trouble and not enough to go for top six (and wasn't going to get top six players), so, get them performing and working as a team.

plymouthram Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 If Cardiff beat Bournemouth tomorrow night, we will be 12 pts off a play off place with a game in hand. With 15 matches to play, I don't think we will do it, but it's possible to finish in the top half. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would give us 70 points, which I think would just fall short of the play-off places. I predicted a couple of weeks ago that we would get approx 63 points. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
