I read about the concept in a footy magazine ages ago but have totally forgotten what one is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we get there ? 11 points = 11 draws, we don't even need to score a goal, EASY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammy03 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 We arguably should have won last night but even so, Barnsley have been on an unbelievable run into the top 6 and we looked solid all night. We'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 I doubt we need as many as 11 points. About 7 could be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year ago Sibley was ripping a shot into the top of the net from 25 yards. Now we’re totting up points like loose change to see if we have enough to survive. As depressing as the situation is, when you look at the transfers we've made since Mac 1, you understand why we're where are at the moment. Our scouting department really is poo... I think we'll pick up a couple of wins here and there, and in the places we'd least expect to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of competition. We have bought in many good players though since then but probably had too many underachievers. Apart from this season, we have competed in the top half every season since 13/14 I think so our transfers in can’t be that bad. I would say it’s more recent decisions that have resulted in a thin and inexperienced team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There are 3 big reasons why were going to just stay up this season this season These are Wycombe, Sheffield Wednesday one other team (from Birmingham, Rotherham and Huddersfield). Lucky for us there some very poor teams this year and Wednesday have had points taken away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t get goals the best we can hope for is a bunch of draws. 25 goals scored this season so far. Pro-rata gives an anticipated end of season total of 33 62 scored last season. 38 goals conceded this season so far. Pro-rata gives an anticipated end of season total of 50 64 conceded last season. So defence has improved by 20% but attack is 50% less effective. That is quite a shocking statistic really, especially since we have added Jozwiak and CKR.

I think the pro rata goals for will be less, as we will not do another 4 like we did at Brum. It is shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kash was right we have gone down hill without Martin. Lawrence and Waghorn contributing so little hasn't helped either. Also have missed Rooney's ability in midfield from January to lockdown his influence changed our fortunes and made a big difference without him coming in we would have probably had finished about 19th last season because we were doing terribly last season as well and he provided a psychological lift and a boost in quality. We lack any real quality or flair and our main attacking signings Jozwiak and Ibe either haven't played or haven't shown enough quality and goal contributions.
