9 points of the playoffs

Now I would happily take a mid table position which is where I said we would finish.
But we are only 9 points of the playoffs.
Those stupid points we blew away would have us right in the mix.
Nige is building the jigsaw.
The only way is up.

 

doing it with existing players before his signings!

 

Looks like maths is not your strong point RR - I make it eleven.

Never mind, the gap in points is irrelevant. It's the gap in quality that will decide the playoff places. On the showing of both sides yesterday, forget it.

Staying up is should be the concern for us both, and with a 10 point advantage over us, it's yours to blow. - we are hopeless at the moment.

 

Ability wise compared to the likes of Fulham, WBA, Blackburn, Bournemouth, Huddersfield and co we are a million miles off the playoffs and it's probably just as well.

We may be getting closer to the likes of Blackpool, Luton or Millwall but that'll have to do for this season.

 

Think it may be squeaky bum time for you. But I can’t see Barnsley, Derby or Posh being higher than you or us.

 

playing field is not level ! taking all into consideration its 13 pts .... will WBA / Huddersfield / Middsbro lose 5 and BCFC win 5 then equal each others results? ... no .... best finish at current form is about 10th on points.
CARDIFF LEVELLER is Peterbro in week can put them on 20/22pts if dont lose. Cardiff's destiny is in own hands ............. need another 30 pts from 20 games so far 23 from 26!

 

Points on the board is all that matters.

 

I wouldn’t waste emotions thinking of the playoffs. We need to take each game as it comes and make sure we survive in this league. If by some miracle we make them then it would be like winning the lottery.
Safety is our first priority.

 

it certainly does, but putting them there in a greater number than the opposition is the crux!
your spread ..... is points from top 6 =4 bottom 8 = 6 middle 10 = 13 pts the most important has to be bottom 8 teams and those 7 around you all have to be played! first half of season you trawled 6 points from 21!

 

NP may end up cutting off his nose to spite his face in getting rid of Bakinson, Palmer, Wells etc losing their undoubted ability.
Getting rid of bad eggs is only a good thing in the long run.
I'm more than happy sinking or swimming with kids and decent pros doing what they're paid to do.

 

Anyway, where's RR today - brushing up on his maths?.......

 

He doesn’t have any choice does he, this situation is forced on him and most Championship managers by COVID. Mid-table was always the minimum with what he has at his disposal.

 

We should be ok, obviously it’s never over till the fat lady sings, but we should be ok, you on the other hand are in real trouble , it’s about points and momentum and unless you can start winning games against the likes of us you may not survive.

 

He obviously needs bodies to replace them, but anyone that’s not towing the line can be disruptive, so Better they go. I’m not suggesting Wells and Palmer fall into that category, as I’ve no ideal whether they do, or whether they’re attributes just don’t fit the way NP wants to play

 

Is that not just averaging it out though?, we know football clubs on the whole lose money that’s why it helps to have a Billionaire owner fan as an owner, that wasn’t a surprise, well not to me anyway. The only way to even have a chance of making money is to get to and stay in the PL, that’s one of the reasons clubs are willing to take silly risks to get there. In my view that’s what has to be legislated against in a much fairer way.

 

that hasn’t all been in the team though. Don’t forgot the stadium and training ground upgrade all contributed to these losses over the last 10 years

 

I think you will find that the stadium is owned by SL and is separate from the playing side and I suspect that you will also find that the training ground will almost certainly fall into the same category.
