kick it off 1,927 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Was just casting an eye over the table and it dawned on me that every team from 16th place upwards has double the amount of points the scummers have got! Sheff Weds in 17th place can be added to the mix if they beat the binners today as another team that have doubled scum's points total. If Weds do win, then Brentford could also double their points with a win at home to Blackburn. Which would mean there were only 5 teams in the league with less than double their total points for the season. That is hauntingly bad. What a shame. Only two teams have ever failed to reach the 30 point mark (Rotherham have failed twice and Blackpool a few years ago) - I wonder whether the scum might be bad enough that they can't get to 30. 5 points to avoid a record breaking season though - 23 is the lowest ever.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,655 Posted February 2, 2019 Sadly theyve only got to be better than 3 other sides...and the 3 immediately above them are terrible and have failed to pull away I can see them only being 4 ppoints from safety after today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splendidrush 698 Posted February 2, 2019 I think Oli could improve Reading, they only need someone who can score goals and they seem best placed to clock up some points. 1p5wich are woeful, even their own fans don't feel confident about their chances.

Quaner will score more goals than Nelson! I'd imagine Ipswich will still be in the mix with 5 games to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The career stats dont suggest that at all. In fact Nelson has a far better strike ratio and is an infinitely better player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

K Lo 219 Posted February 2, 2019 Ipswich lost again today. Reading & Rotherham both draw, so slip 1 point away from safety and lose 1 game to make up the difference. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's Character Forming 1,156 Posted February 4, 2019 The bottom 4 are all in real trouble but the scum are 8 points adrift of Rotherham while the other 3 are within 3 points of each other. If I were going to bet on one of those teams to go down, the scum would be my first choice. But it's far too early to say that they're down already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kyle Naughton did an impressive shift filling in and City won very comfortably 2-0. https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/head_to_head.sd?team_id=354&team2_id=1855 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JUBWICKS75 40 Posted February 5, 2019 Realistically losing to Leeds on the last day of the season, resulting in Norwich being pushed into the lottery of the play offs, is Town's only chance of altering the outcome of both our seasons! Still plenty of season to play though, for that not to be a possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
