Youri McAnespie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) Reading FC? That's what I presumed was intended when the keyboard was mashed. Edit: Mashed as in mauled, not high on drugs. Edited October 2, 2012 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelEP Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Yes the football team. They were no where to be seen until the second half of the season and still got promoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 (edited) That's what I meant in my original post. Related to this, I had a look at the fixtures up to and including New Year's Day. I realistically estimated we'd be on 31 points by then. I'd have to defer to a statistician like Malcolm, but I'd hazard a guess this is by no means adrift of the play-offs. Meaning, we could grit our teeth and put up with this sequence of ; shit result, shit result, false-dawn win, scabby draw, shit result et al. into 2013, and then Gartside could still say were in with a shout in the play-offs. Those two questions in my original post deal with this. Is O.C. to be given until then (if our current form continues) and what quantifies an improvement/a signifier that promotion is still on? Out of interest, anyone know at a glance, what position were we in at that stage (26 games or New Year) in the seasons we faced; Ipswich, Watford and Preston in the playoffs?

DazBob Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 What Reading did was completely irrelevant. They didn't have to turn round a nigh-on 20 month long piss-poor record. We do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelEP Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Obviously not. The point is it can be done. We could still be in with a chance of promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 We had two 'play-offs' last season (WBA and Stoke). We didn't win them, what's changed? Nothing. What will have changed by New Year? We'll have turned a corner under Coyle? We've got rid and got someone else in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweep Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 whats the odds for us to go down? On Betfair we're currently 8.0 (7/1) which puts us as 12th favourite to go down... We're also 4.6 (3.6/1) to get promoted which puts us as 8th favourite to get promoted .........which must mean folk think we are headed for mid-table which is currently about right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
