If we carry on with our current record under Cotts. All stats I know. Cotts record is PL 18 W 6 D 6 L 6 So 12 games left, if we continue this form, we'll earn 16 more points, finishing on 51 points... 4 wins, 4 draws, 2 defeats. Our wins could come from Shrewsbury away, Colchester away, Notts C at home and Crewe at home. Our draws could come from Port Vale at home, Walsall Away, Stevenage away, Crawley away. Our defeats could come from Peterborugh away, Swindon at home, Rotherham away, Preston at home. Seems all very likely to me, maybe we could beat Stevenage away at take us to 18 points and finishing on 53 points.
and in those 6 defeats, they are Watford away, Wolves away, Brentford away, Sheffield united away, Rotherham at home, Coventry at home. 1 is in a league above, and when we were in that league they were never the easiest teams for us to play, Wolves away we never win at, Brentford were top. Bramell lane, yet again another ground we're no good at, Rotherham was Cotts first league game in charge and they are in play offs, and Coventry, who without there deduction would be just outside the play offs.... So all in all our defeats, for a team who have been struggling are to be expected. Our draws are the only bad points really. Notts county away, we would of won that game had flint not given away a penalty in the last minute, Watford at home, good result for us. Bradford away let one in, in the first minute. Should of been focusing. MK Dons at home, did well to come back from 2-0 down. Oldham away, a game we should of probably won but we didn't really turn up that day. Tranmere at home.... REALLY should have won that when Williams scored late on. and the wins are wins. we'll take them however they come So overall, im pretty happy and confident that Cotterill will keep us up, and he's not as bad as some/most say. Certainly better than SOD!
Shiny... great if that happens the important games we have left which we must aim to win are Stevenage, Colchester Shrews, Notts and Crewe Portvale and Walsall MUST BE draws at worst, past results very rarely give an accurate (within 30% + inaccurracy) . EG team plays 12 games, 9 against top 10 teams ( 8pts / .8pts ) and 3 against bottom 10 ( 5 pts/ 1.67 ) ... averages 1.09pts a game so you would expect 13 -14 points from next 12. However next 12 games are against 3 teams in top 10 and 9 teams in the bottom 10 ? 3 games (.8) = 2 pts 9 games (1.67) = 15 points so total is 3 -4 points better............. this is not an example of any team, especially not City.
I got this predictor for my own team but it looks like the predictor also favours your lads at the moment to avoid the drop...oh it's going to be a nail biting run in.... please log in to view this image We've got Shrewsbury on the last day of the season at home and its predicting us to win...if we don't then it could come down to GD.
Would settle for staying up now, something I didn't think I would of said at the beginning of the season. Your table though goes on the whole season, my prediction has just gone on our form since Steve Cotterill took over, funny how it ends up with the same points!
Not true. We've already played Shrewsbury at home last September where we predictably drew 1-1 Last game of the season is away to Crawley. Last home game is against Crewe
the prediction table by BRB is flawed, and if they don't beat Shrews on the last day they go down! if they draw they stay up..thats providing ALL the other predictions are correct..... that's in the eye of the beholder! but fun seeing it.. ps we have 5h notts, oldham have 7H .. steve, colch 8H and we have 7 away
It really is all down to us. If we want it badly enough we will stay up... ..which is what worries me
