simmoram1995 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just been looking at the remaining fixtures of our rivals and us. Peterborough ipswich H bristol R H Barnsley A Bolton Shrewsbury H Accrington H Fleetwood H Bristol Rovers A Derby Burton H Portsmouth H Sheff W A realistically I think out of these I think Bolton will win 3 + draw 1 Peterborough will win 1 + draw 2 derby ( I hope) win 2 + lose 1 final points Bolton 5th 82 points derby 6th 78 points Peterborough 7th 78 points Derby 6th on goal difference 🙏 Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 9pts would be fantastic. 7pts would be great. 6pts would be ok. 4pts would be disappointing. 2pts would be terrible. 0pts is not worth contemplating. CBRammette 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Ram Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Realistically its us or Pboro, dont think Bolton come in to it unless they have a stinker. I'm going 5th - Bolton 82pts (3 Wins, 1 Draw) 6th - Derby 78pts (Wins against Burton & Pompey, Loss against Wednesday) 7th - Pboro 77pts (Loss against Ipswich, Win against Bristol, Draw against Barnsley) Elwood P Dowd and Rammy03 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Peterboro, 1 win, 1 draw, 1 defeat Bolton, 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat Derby, 2 wins , 1 draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimtastic56 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Most Rams fans will think we will win our 2 home games. But we have only taken 2 pts from our last 4 home games. Therefore there will have to be a massive turnaround in recent home form. Let’s hope playing in front of 30,000 is not inhibiting our players.

FindernRam Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Draw Burton, Draw Pompey. Lose Sheff 2 points only. PistoldPete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I reckon we'll get 8 points, enough to seal a play off spot, then the EFL come along and retrospectively make a rule banning any team from getting 8 points from 3 games! The absolute b*******! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Blufitt Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 A lot of it’s about nerves and expectations at this time of the season. Because the points are so important the tension rises, especially at home in front of a big crowd and it grows as the time runs down and you haven’t scored. Teams come to places like Derby and Bolton and park the bus and try all kinds of shytehousery to run the clock down. Sometimes I wonder if it’s not better to play away as teams open up more at home. Wanderers have 3 home games now which on paper should be realistically straightforward wins but it’s never as simple as that. I think we’ll beat Shrewsbury tomorrow but Accy are fighting for their lives and Fleetwood are on a good run so you can see potential slip ups there? Similarly you should comfortably beat Burton tomorrow and posh should lose to an in form Ipswich but I wouldn’t bet on the results going like that. As games run out the nerves get bigger, so close yet so far. I’m going to wish you luck tomorrow because I’d rather see Derby have a chance to progress than Peterborough. After what you’ve been through, like us you deserve it too. Looking forward to meeting you at Wembley then? 😉 Zag zig, jimtastic56, LeedsCityRam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magicman Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) Bolton seem to have the easiest run in. I think we will get 6 more points = 78 max Edited April 21, 2023 by Magicman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to meeting you at Wembley then? 😉 I think Bolton will be fine, all 4 of your games look very winnable even if the opposition are likely to park the bus at the Reebok. Suspect you'll book your playoff spot with a game or 2 to go. Guess the question is more which of Barnsley or Sheff Weds you would prefer? Whilst Burton tomorrow looks a winnable fixture on paper, they're very local to us & will be desperate to put one over Derby...imagine is the equivalent of you playing Accrington. Obviously the game at Hillsborough could decide Wendies' automatic promotion fate so not many holding out hope for points there. Therefore we will probably need Peterborough to drop points to make the top 6. Thanks for the good wishes by the way, fair to say Bolton have had a very similar trauma to ourselves so good to see you on the up. Big fan of your manager too.

CBRammette Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Spoke to Weds fan at work - said they will never beat us if they need to for autos. He makes everyone on here seem like huge rays of sunshine. He also said they were battered by Burton 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think we will get 5 points, a win tomorrow, and 2 draws. Puts us on 77 points and leaves it very tight. Would mean a big win tomorrow could be vital for goal difference. TomTom92 and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well LCR, games that look winnable can sometimes surprise when the pressures on. You’re right about Accy, similar to Burton for you as is Fleetwood for us who we always seem to struggle against because as you say they park the bus and we’re not brilliant at unpacking it. I actually think you’ll be ok, Burton are decent going forward but I thought a bit weak defensively and we really should have won on Tuesday the chances we missed. In fact that’s been our problem all season, too few goals and we’ve had to rely on the defence but of course all our first choice central defenders are out injured and we’re having to make do. I think you’ll be fine against Wednesday because I don’t think they’ll make the automatics by your game so will probably rest key players for the play offs. I expect us both to be there if Ipswich do the job on Posh today which I think they will and frankly I don’t care who we play after that, just glad to be there. Considering your restrictions I think Warnes done a stellar job getting you where you are so let’s hope he can get you one step further then who knows? 😉 Rammy03, LeedsCityRam, jimtastic56 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because I wanted 4 goals, we didn't get them, but Peterborough conceding 3 kinda works out pretty much the same. strawhillram and MarsdenRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
