[Laughing]

I always get them two mixed up! is Di Caprio is the one that crashed the titanic after having sex with the old lady?

I thinks we’re still on track.. not far away from a run at the playoffs.

Marcus Brown to return?
Nathan Wood to be recalled in January?
Ciaron Brown on a free?
Another in on loan?

 

[newyddion]

3 Points against Cardiff would be MEGA

 

[Nosmo-King]

With one or two exceptions, the league is pretty poor. Anything ( apart from top 2) is a possibility

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Although I enjoyed last night's game neither side looked anything like what I'd expect a promotion chasing side to be.

We'd have to improve to threaten a top two spot.

 

[newyddion]

and into the playoff positions.. four wins between now and 18th December seems possible.

can we bring the love for Warnock back now?

 

[newyddion]

I've got us down for a win tonight, but perhaps more importantly.. 30 Points by the end of the month

 

[newyddion]

23 points..

Tue 23 Preston North End H - 16th - WIN
Sat 27 Huddersfield Town A - 7th - WIN 29 Points under Warnock I had us on 30 points after Huddersfield and 33 after after Bournemouth
----------------------------------------------------------
Sat 4 Swansea City H - 12th - WIN
Sat 11 Stoke City A - 4th - LOSS
Sat 18 AFC Bournemouth H - 2nd - DRAW 33 points tough challenge, hopefully we see more of Bola and Dijksteel

WWWWW - five wins has us on 36 points
WWWDL - three wins a draw and a loss has us on 33 points

33/36 points

We're gonna need one hell of a January transfer window!!

 

[newyddion]

33 points after Bournemouth

 

[newyddion]

I mean.. it's no graph by chickenrunner



82 points? I think it looks realistic.. maybe I've over egged the pudding 4th/5th place starting to look like more 3rd place. I can see us beating anyone in this league now. Our new players have yet to settle in averaging 2ppg since Wilder and having just knocked Man Utd out of the cup confidence is running high.

of course there are no walk overs in the championship and anyone can beat anyone, we're bound to have hiccups. but that transfer window was MASSIVE

Bournemouth's looks good on paper

Freddy Woodman vs Sol Brynn
Nat Philips vs Nathan Wood
Siriki Dembele vs Aaron Connolly
Todd Cantwell vs Riley McGree
Kiefer Moore vs Folarin Balogun

I think we've had the better window, Woodman & Philips are further on than Brynn & Wood but I honestly think we have the better players.
add into the likes of Caolan Boyd-Munce and Neil Taylor and we look in REALLY good shape. We have a solid base and plenty of room for our newbies to spread their wings and get their chance. Our big players were already here, we've just improved on our fringe players.

Balogun better than Ikpeazu Connolly better than Browne Boyd-Munce better than Wing McGree better than Siliki Taylor better than Ameobi Bilongo better than Kokolo Brynn better than Stojanović Wood better than.. Hernandez (in defence)

Got more money in for Spence and others! Thank god for Neil Warnock eh! for sorting out our recruitment department!!

 

[newyddion]

Draw against QPR and a win over Derby on Saturday and we’re back on track!

 

[newyddion]

Based on average points gained over the season we would see the table finish thus:


Fulham 96
Bournemouth 87
---------------------
QPR 82
Blackburn 78
Sheff Utd 74
Middlesbrough 73


Boro vs QPR Semi with a Boro vs Blackburn Final - interesting.

am I getting ahead of myself for thinking I should be booking a hotel for the play off final?

I fancy us for finishing 4th or 5th in the semi's with Blackburn or Sheff Utd I'm guessing a Boro vs QPR final

Saturday May 7th Last League Game
Saturday May 14th FA Cup Final
Play Off First Leg 15th
Play Off Second Leg 21st
Sunday May 29, 2022 Play Off Final

So I'm not booking any London hotels for the 14th or the 21st as I think it will be QPR in the final.. or maybe Blackburn. We're not going to London for the semi's anyway. My concern now is us having five big games in one month at the end of the season. Will the playoffs distract from our FA Cup Final or Vice Versa?

I mean.. it's no graph by chickenrunner

You rang m'lud? (The 50pt line has gone to be replaced by the 80pt line, of course when I did this we immediately lost to Blackburn )

I must say I'm not a fan of your abstract work. The graph below however is pure poetry it has action, drama.. comedy

 

[Smoginexile]

I have no idea what a decent promotion run looks like.
It's been years since I saw one.

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

Where would our points per game since Wilder took over have us finishing?

Comedy? Was that the 6 match losing run under Pulis. Britt missed so many sitters he had a permanent grin etched on his face.

You are so demanding I know how Prince Andrew's lackeys must feel like.

 

[chickenrunner]

On 80pts exactly, we're averaging 2 points a game under Wilder.

4th place will do me!
