Skin em Ted Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I don't think we should be too disheartened if we don't take anything from this one. Huddersfield are a good side playing at home and have got two days extra rest over us. My voice hasn't recovered from Sunday, so won't be surprised if we look tired before they do tonight. I feel even a draw would be a great result and then we have a bit of a break to rest and recover. BriggRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too think a draw would be a great result - it is all about momentum though at the moment, and a draw or defeat does represent a dissapointing return when including our previous 2 games. Anyway, I only posted to say I think you have a great username. Skin em Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 A draw would be a great result after what must have been an emotionally and physically draining day on sunday. It's already shaping up to be a 4 team mini league down there as even Cardiff are starting to move away from us. Our only hope is really trying to keep reading in sight and hope they're terrible run continues and we can reel them in. Unfortunately, even with their terrible form they're averaging 1 point per game if you take out the point deduction they suffered. That means if that average continues we need 30 points from the final 18 games to overhaul them. I think on that basis every game is absolutely vital to try and do anything to gain as many points as we can. So B4's thread title is correct but if we get a draw from tonight I'll be very proud of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the last three games they have picked up 3 points whilst we’ve picked up 4. Over the last five they have picked up 4 points whilst we have picked up 8. Hull are the team that have pulled away. I agree, a draw would be a good result though. RadioactiveWaste and RoyMac5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem with this gap is that a single good result for other teams and a bad one for us makes that gap feel a little insurmountable. Even if reading win tomorrow and we lose tonight that puts it back into double digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if reading win tomorrow and we lose tonight that puts it back into double digits. Whilst a single game in hand don’t really count for much when you’re near the bottom (by definition, you’re not winning games otherwise the team wouldn’t be down there. It’s different if they had multiple games in hand and they may be in a false league position), I agree it would be quite an achievement (having said that, over the last seven games we’ve gained 10 points on them) and we might be down to a mini league of four. I was just trying to make the point that they’re not pulling away from us. In fact, we’re catching them, it’s just we’ll run out of games.

I hope I am wrong…. Don't think we'll be as vulnerable as you think in that regard as alot of our key players are young with very high stamina and fitness e.g Knight and Thompson and then our older players like Davies and Stearman don't run around much anyway due to their positions and play styles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) Think on balance that Kamil's been pretty good recently. He's looked a deal more like the player we see playing for Poland in any case. I do think he really struggles when the team is not playing well though and also when teams like Brum spend the whole game kicking seven shades of poo out of him. Krystian would of course look out for his mate in games and I think Kamil plays well with him in the side so if we could just get them fit, healthy and in form at the same time... ?

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Would say all sort of have become must win. In Derby’s position, wins are needed. Wouldn’t take a draw now. Have to go for it. Our away record isn’t great unfortunately- just 2 wins. But every match we need to gamble a bit I think as we desperately need as many wins as possible. Don’t know the form in this one but I the time I went to this fixture a few seasons ago they scored late on to win so we need some sort of revenge !
