DarkFruitsRam7 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Anyone else noticed a familiar pattern this season? Just like the Rowett and Lampard seasons, we've: Started slowly Surged up the table Threatened the automatic places Lost form heading towards spring Fall outside (or come very close to falling outside) the play off places right towards the end Rediscovered some form and snuck into the play offs at the death (fingers still crossed on this one) Those seasons obviously didn't end as planned. The question is, do you think this year will be different? Edited April 23, 2023 by DarkFruitsRam7 JustOneBiblicalKazim and Dimmu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Feels more like 14/15 to me, the level of collapse we’ve seen. We will blow it on the final day jimtastic56 and Jourdan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 I think we'll just about make the play offs, but we're in trouble if we have to play Ipswich, Plymouth or Barnsley in the semis. I can't see us beating them over two legs. I think we've got an outside chance of getting to Wembley if we face a demoralised Wednesday in the semis. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) This season feel more like the Lampard one, where we had a late resurgence. Rowett - won 4 in last 16 games (2 in last 6) Lampard - we were unbeaten in the final 6 games (2 wins in 10 before that) Warne - currently 5 unbeaten with 2 games still to play (3 wins in 11 before that) Edited April 23, 2023 by Ghost of Clough Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I just think they'd still be far too god for us to handle them. Wednesday have had a bit more of a "collapse" at the wrong time, and I'd fancy us a bit more against them. Still think we'd probably lose over two legs though. JPRamFan, richinspain and jimtastic56 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only just got past us at their place when we were in the doldrums of our poor form and look shaky at the back. I could see us in a 3-4-3 beating them at home and the pressure gets to them at their place. I don't fancy us against Barnsley though. If we play them we won't progress any further.

At home we beat them 2-1 in the League and 3-0 in the cup. We lost 4-1 away in the League. Play-offs are a bit of a one-off. They are cup ties and anything can happen, so I wouldn’t be so certain about dismissing our chances. Rammy03 and BramcoteRam84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 If we get in, I would be feeling more confident than both Rowett and Lampard years as we are way less behind in ability relative to Sheff and Barnsley than against Fulham or Leeds.

YouRams Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Gone with a playoff semi defeat, just don't think we've got enough against majority of the teams up there with us. If you offered that at the beginning of the season with where we was you'd of taken it. Personally I'd take a couple of seasons down here, get financially straight with no restrictions, hopefully push a few more solid players through from the youth and find some cheap talent that can grow with us. Enter the championship with solid foundations like Sunderland have and challenge straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 I have gone with a semi defeat, if we are to get there. In my gut I just can’t see us scoring enough over the two games. Out of the teams my choice would be SW for the best chance of beating my glass half empty prediction. IF we were to get to the final, I would hope that we would get a decent ref, and with VAR we might do better, due to the “dark arts” being more under scrutiny… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
