Carnero Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 There's this strange assumption that Rotherham are suddenly capable of stringing multiple wins together Just because they happen to have games in hand. They average exactly 1 point per game over 35 games. Logic would suggest they're more likely end up on 46 points than 50+. We have 43 points with games against Blackburn, Preston, Birmingham & Sheff Weds all eminently winnable. hintonsboots, Sean, Robert Earnshaws Workrate and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a big ask for them to do that, it is not as if they will be playing us every week. ? it is just the fear that it is not impossible. I hope they are close to being disillusioned pity they have Wycombe next but even they got a result on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been around the Championship long enough to know that a lot of winnable home games are also a lot of losable home games! Home games still mean less without fans than they used to. Their home record is the worst in the league, not helped by fewer games obviously, but even if they hadn't had to postpone games, and if they'd won all of the home matches they've missed it would still be right down there (slightly above us on goal difference) Edited April 3, 2021 by Coconut cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 43 points with games against Blackburn, Preston, Birmingham & Sheff Weds all eminently winnable. I don't think anyone is claiming they are going to go on a fantastic run. We won 6 in 8. Birmingham have won their last 2. Is is that improbable that Rotherham could potentially pick up more points than they currently average, considering their fixtures. I think they could well get 14 from 11. That puts them on 49 with a currently better GD. I don't fancy us getting many more than 7 more points. I think it will be tight, others don't. But you can't just dismiss the opinion. I mean, they could average 1 point a game for their first 10 games, and win the last one. Doesn't really matter about averages at that point. I think it will come down to last day myself. Jourdan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
