BigEars 12 Posted November 14, 2023 So there are 7 games to the half way point in the league. Even though our form isn’t great, I am fairly optimistic looking at the fixtures. Home - QPR, Preston, Sheff Wed, Huddesfield. That should be 10 points Away - Watford, Bristol C, Bin. More difficult but maybe 4 points. so 14 in total taking us to 34 over the first half of the season. We would still be behind the rate needed for the play offs, but not much. Whats your prediction? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pyro Pete 1,945 Posted November 15, 2023 We picked up 7 points from our last ten games. So anything around a point per game would be an improvement. 27 points by halfway would put us on track to avoid relegation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 968 Posted November 15, 2023 28, anything else and all of the players need replacing with the youth team and we start looking for a new sporting director (keep Wagner though, he gets on well with Delia) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cambridgeshire canary 6,895 Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) QPR- Should be a win or boy are we in trouble Preston- Draw or loss Shef Wed- See my QPR prediction Huddersfield- How many times can I say "See my QPR prediction"? Watford- Draw I imagine Bristol- Think we can win this one Binners- I said a while back I predicted a boring 0-0 and I'm sticking by that prediction Edited November 15, 2023 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly how I and others no doubt feel. BUT, Wagner is still here and his team set up and the players execution of his plan gives me no hope. So conflicted at this time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUT, Wagner is still here and his team set up and the players execution of his plan gives me no hope. So conflicted at this time. This is the issue. All depends on if Wagner learns his lessons (Like Placheta never again being played at defence, or playing Sara further forward rather than as a defensive midfielder..) as well as the number of potential players we may be getting back from injury over the next month. Sadly I fear Wagner will learn nothing. Would love it if he did of course, but I won't be getting my hopes up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ness Point Runner 21 Posted November 15, 2023 Given the Binners have scored an average of 3 goals and let in 2 each home game this season I dont think 0-0 is very realistic. I'd go with 2-2 or 3-3 or even 4-4 as far more likely than 0-0. But then it is a derby match and anything can and probably will happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Holt 522 Posted November 15, 2023 If we stick with Wagner it could be maybe 4 at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,336 Posted November 15, 2023 God knows how this will play out, could be 0 or 21. I'm a bit worried we will be relying Duffy and Batth, with Warner as cover. One game at a time. QPR is a must not lose and if we do we could be heading for an utter car crash ahead of Christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete 324 Posted November 17, 2023 Anything less than 3 wins from games against the leagues bottom dwellers will be a disaster, much will depend on the team Wagner puts out. So victories not a given. Away games will not yeild any wins defeats more likely irrespective of teams selected. If Duffy back in defence could be crucial, if plays could lose all if he plays. Whether we get 9 points from next 9 games why is Wagner still here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given he's been sent home from the England U21 squad camp with an ankle injury, now looks quite strong odds - he'll miss a couple of games, then come back in the team and get booked in his 2nd game back.

BigEars 12 Posted December 3, 2023 So far, so good. 6 points from the first three and with 3 home games in the next 4, 2 of them comparatively easy, I think we should get around the 14 I suggested. Probably not quite play offs but not far off come Christmas day. Unfortunately looking post christmas and January looks much harder so I predict points will dry up, and we will slip back to mid table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
