March 9, 201412 yr If we win all our games then that will put us on 75pts That's 1 more than Leicester currently in top spot Is it still mathematically possible that we can win the league?
March 9, 201412 yr If we win all our games then that will put us on 75pts That's 1 more than Leicester currently in top spot Is it still mathematically possible that we can win the league? Currently it is theoretically possible, but not at all realistic. IF Leicester lose to Barnsley and Blackpool (or even manage 1 point) and Bolton beat Derby and Brighton I'll look at it properly. Realistically play-offs is out of our hands and relies on everyone folding like last season. Automatic promotion is distinctly unlikely, and top spot not quite impossible.
March 9, 201412 yr And Blackburn,Brighton have 1 game in hand wigan have 2 Charlton are 12 pts down on Bolton with 4 games in hand, so even they could take the title (but won't, obviously).
March 9, 201412 yr wigan will piss it into the playoffs, and we are too far behind QPR, Forest and Derby . I am yet far from convinced about the team, squad and manager. We are on a good run at the moment but there is little to play for. Once any sort of expectation or pressure is applied they look more than likely to crack.

We are on a good run at the moment but there is little to play for. Once any sort of expectation or pressure is applied they look more than likely to crack. But that is what happened to so many clubs last season (including Bolton at the last). Maybe they were giddy at the prospect of Premier League riches. And there are signs of it recurring this season - Derby, QPR, Forest and Reading have all lost unexpectedly recently, so it can happen to Wigan too (and their cup run won't help, either).
March 12, 201412 yr Think I've counted around 7 teams that need to pick up less than half the points available to them. And even then we need to win our next 11. Play-offs just too far this season, but a nice run from now and until then to get us all giddy again and keep us excited for next season would be more than welcome after the dire 75% of the season we've had so far.

March 13, 201412 yr Top half would do for me after the horrors of the first two-thirds of a season. Im with this, would be good to finish season undefeated mind.
March 13, 201412 yr Think I've counted around 7 teams that need to pick up less than half the points available to them. that bits not so unlikely 1.5 points a game over the season is 69 points not many will achieve that
March 13, 201412 yr that bits not so unlikely 1.5 points a game over the season is 69 points not many will achieve that It is for all 7 to go on such a run. It ain't happening.
March 14, 201412 yr I'd settle for finishing above Blackburn and a strong finish that will (this time) extend into next season
March 14, 201412 yr ...a strong finish that will (this time) extend into next season Hmmm, quite right. It's still unfathomable and unacceptable the way we started this season off.
March 14, 201412 yr see, if you can fathom it, you can accept it shit pre dawson, shit post dawson adds up to me i saw through jaidi early doors while most were pulling their puds cos he scored a few# defended like a novice but, dawson was different his goals made a massive difference - nil nils became one nils spearing gets shit cos he cant play dead balls - dawson arrives and we score off his balls in juke arrives and spearing can take good free kicks maybe they were good all along and the problem is the lack of desire/intelligence by the blokes in the box
March 14, 201412 yr I get all of that, you know I do, so even if it's fathomable, it's still unacceptable.

How naturally convenient for you Mrs Freedman
March 14, 201412 yr no, none of that trying to find out about his players trying to motivate players who were never going to get another deal on the same terms from us or anybody else you try simplify it but it just shows you to be missing the point not for the first time

You sure you're all black pudding and not a bit Scouse? Edited March 14, 201412 yr by jules_darby
March 14, 201412 yr it wasnt all about dawson but he was a massive influence he then banked on wheater for this season his fitness wasnt reet he signed tierney who lasted a couple of weeks he had to wait for davies theres all sorts of things we'll chat it thru next saturday neet
March 16, 201412 yr There is a halfway house between Casino and Jules and I think that's about where we should all be at the moment, DF has got it half right and half wrong I'm hoping he'll sort the half wrong over the close season if he does not sort it he can pack his backs for me he's got 15 games next season in my eyes. Edited March 16, 201412 yr by Mounts Kipper
March 16, 201412 yr But that's just it mounts; I'm not at the extreme end of the spectrum...happy to give DF credit where it's due But Cas and are so tunnel visioned they won't admit when and where he has made mistakes
