FindernRam Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 My favourite (statistically based) prediction site fivethiirtyeight.com has just released their first run at the league table for the upcoming season. They have Derby to finish as winners with 89 points 4 clear of Sheff and Ipswich in third. I knew there was a reason I liked this site. Even better, Middleborough fail again and Wycombe come nowhere. Even more better (grammar Timothy) Forest to finish bottom of Premier Rammy03, SaffyRam, ariotofmyown and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilwellram Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I think a slow start till the team starts to gel and results will get better from November onwards with a top 6 finish and a win in the playoff final. kevinhectoring and Taribo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loughborough Ram Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Being a Derby fan, it's very difficult to be positive because naturally I think that even if we took maximum points until Christmas we'd have mass injuries in January and fail to win another point. If we can find a cohesive system that means that we can create more chances whilst remaining solid at the back we have a great chance of winning the league with the quality we have. I will predict a top 6 finish, beyond that would be brave, stupid or both. Taribo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 A couple of youtubers I've watched have Derby to finish 3rd (behind Ipswich and Sheff Weds). I think if we make half a dozen more astute signings they might be right, but we're not quite there yet imho. Miggins and Oldben 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted July 24, 2022 Author Share Posted July 24, 2022 When I first joined this forum I was accused, nay flamed, by those who marked me down for being very pessimistic. Of course events have justified that position. We have a clean sheet, new owner new team effectively and a new ME. So I will for a while be a haven of unbridled optimism, like B4! The fact a reputable prediction site backs me up is even gooder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more better (grammar Timothy) Forest to finish bottom of Premier Think someone posted a link to FourFourTwo magazine other day which predicted us to finish 12th. Got my copy of When Saturday Comes yesterday & they too had us finishing 12th - that was voted for by a representative from all clubs in our division (they average out predicted finishing positions from everyone). Not even considering a top two finish at present but suspect we might do better than 12th - going to take last season's lesson of 'no expectation' though to enjoy our football, the matchday experience & see where the season takes us.

Anyone who amends their prediction based on the performance and result from one pre-season friendly really needs to give their head a wobble.

Keepyuppy Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I’d like to think we are jockeying for a Play Off spot, but I’m just happy to have my team to watch tbh ?? Taribo and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were also bragging how well they predicted us to finish last season, they predicted last just 1 place out, they didn't mention that the prediction didn't take into account our 21 point deduction.

England Ram Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 Crystal ball says ‘it depends’. On weather the squad can cope with the rough and tumble teams and scrape more wins than not on those close games. On weather we can bring a few more people in to give that competition for places in case of injuries. On how long it takes to gel as we’ve only been together for a few weeks when others have been together a while. Oldben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it kind of amusing as on what premise are those two magazines predicting where we finish? We don't know yet what our finished squad will look like with more incomings likely, will Byrne play any part, will Bielek be here when he's back to fitness, Rosenoir is a total novice manager so how do you gauge his competence, the whole thing is ridiculous tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
