The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[chrisw1]

We have started clutching at other teams imploding now as we have lost touch with the top 2, what ever, we still have to put a run of results together including beating the teams at the top of the table.
I would love to know what  the magic Steve Bruce formula is  that is going to achieve this.

Because he hasn't managed to put a string of wins together before?

How short is your memory?

Not against the top sides, he hasn't. And we need to win something like 13 of the next 15 games to stand a chance its place in the top 2. Do you see Cardiff only winning 5 of those so we can catch up and get beyond them to a safe second position? Make it even ten wins for us. Really?

How many of the top teams have we beaten?
My memory is fine thanks.

I think we might go two up top on Saturday. I wonder how much of an effect the creative coach will have on mindset.

The defence is certainly mean enough. The midfield has scored a load. Up top we've been lacking but there's been so many injuries.

You’d think though it wouldn’t have to take a new coach to get us to play more creatively or at least with that intent. And will he have that much impact in a few days. Either way we need to change something quickly, play more openly, create chances and most importantly take them.

Steve Agnew. I don’t know if he’s actually joined the club yet.

Bit optimistic to think that, Boro scored 8 goals in 11 games he had in charge of them last two months of last season.

Think he'll be more of the ilk keep things tight at the back, keep the shape etc.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

He's from Shipley and as they say up there, owt's better than nowt.

Why isn't there a thread on that? Looks like it's just been casually mentioned. Tut-tut.

[IFWaters]

A rare chance for us to close the gap to 2nd to 7 points. We should have been closer than that already, but no need to cry over spilt milk.
Its useful that Brizzle only managed a point as well.

Think Derby are favourites for second now.

Bristol will get bogged down by cup games and Cardiff are losing to bottom three teams so can see them falling away a bit.

[OzVilla]

Yep Woles are too far in front and Derby are the team right now, they'll crash the othervautomatic spot, wecate just looking at play offs at best which is criminal given the money spent. Just imagine if (big if) we did hang on in the play offs Bruce up against a Colin Wanker side. What a spectacle.

Colin Wanker would do us no bother. He at least seems to have a halfway decent and consistent plan given the cards he's dealt. Bruce goes from shit strategy A through Lambertesquian desperation in search of the answer. Today we became RDM's Villa. Get a lead, fuck it up. At 2-0 the primary goal should have been to take the sting out of anything Sheff Utd had in their locker. Instead we let a team a little low on morale to come to our place and quickly get back on level terms. It starts with the manager and feeds its way through to the players.

This not winning is doing my head in now. Can anyone get a table up from halfway through last season? We're not that much better off are we?
