None of them are likely after 46 games We are, however, in the bottom three as of 9th February and that is fact. I am sure I haven't misread the league table...have I?

Fact: if the season was ended today, we’d be above Sheffield Wednesday on points per game. We’re in the bottom 3 but we’ve got a game in hand. So you can’t say fir sure we’d be relegated until the games are evened up. If we win, we’re ahead of Coventry and wendies. We might not win, but you can’t say that for a fact, so we wouldn’t be relegated based on our position tonight. Premier ram and Curtains 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the season finished now the likelyhood is that Wednesdays points deduction would also be reviewed to bring it in lone with the number of games that have been played. Either way u look at it we’re behind / level with a team who have had a 6 point deduction ... it ain’t good is it jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can slice it anyway you like but we should never be in this position, I don't blame Cocu anymore as he was allowed to drag the team down to the position we are still struggling to recover from.

DCFC1388 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Instead of looking at how many points we may get or need compared to previous seasons I prefer to look at how many we need to get above teams around us to stay up. Surely we can/will get more than the teams around us with 19 games to go based off our form since Rooney took over especially when we have majority of these teams to play - 1 point more than Birmingham with 1 game extra (Yes) 1 point more than Sheff W with 1 game extra (Yes) 2 points more than Rotherham (Yes) 4 points more than Coventry with 1 game extra (Yes) 5 points more than Forest with 1 game extra (Possible) 6 points more than Huddersfield with 1 game extra (Possible) 6 points more than QPR (Possible) 7 points more than Luton (Possible) 8 points more than Millwall with 1 game extra (Unlikely) 9 points more than Barnsley (Unlikely) 9 points more than Preston with 1 game extra (Unlikely) So I think there are at least 4 teams (for the final 2 spots) we will get more points than over these final 18/19 games.

I'm not sure how valid an assumption that is to base your hypothesis on. The second part of your post also conflicts with reality, we will have to start doing something radically different when playing the teams around us as history dictates that we have only beaten Birmingham so far regards the teams in the bottom 7 places.

Ive not assumed we will continue the same form, I just believe in the remaining games we can get 1-4 points more than the teams around us. Also, of the 4 teams I think we will get more points than we have 3 of them to play - Birmingham - we beat away comfortably Sheff W - unfortunate to lose, we were the better team Coventry - drew, should have won and hit the bar just before their equaliser With Birmingham & Sheff W we need to match their results & draw the extra game to stay up, more than possible Edited February 10, 2021 by DCFC1388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, we only need to beat Birmingham to stay 4th from bottom. We only need to beat the rest if we want to climb further up the table (assuming our game in hand would be enough to get us above wendies).

Part of the reason we are in the mire is that we've only beaten Birmingham in the teams around us. Nevermind about what we could and should have done in previous games we need to start actually beating the teams around us and start quickly - the drubbing by Rotherham needs to be rapidly erased.

For example, I seem to recall Wycombe hit the woodwork late on didn’t they? (or am I making that up?). Of course we can survive but it’s going to be tight and is way too early to call. Any of the teams in the fight, including us, could go on a mini purple patch or slump. It may well come down to the last three games which include Birmingham and Wednesday at home. Wycombe look dead and buried so it looks like it could be a dog fight to avoid the other two places between us, Birmingham, Wednesday, Rotherham and Coventry.

Was it you who said Rotherham had two games in hand on Derby. Well they got 1 point and are 1 ahead with no games in hand and also a very difficult next 7 games which I have already posted in thei thread.
