Last 8 games, 17pts out of 24!!!!! Injuries are not effecting our run due to the strength of the bench.. such a shame about the slow start,
-
It really is such a shame, 5/6 more points from our awful start and we’d be genuine playoff challengers.

If we continue that form over the next 8 games we could be around the playoffs
-
Jones, Olowu, Rowe and Close not being in the team is no secret in the upturn of form. TLT, Anderson/ Wood partnership, Bailey in midfield with Craig allowing Biggins to move forward and obviously Adelakun leaves no space for the 4 I first mentioned in the lineup. Thats why we are now scoring goals, producing wins and not conceding as many. Some propper character about the team now.

Lovely that we've picked up so well, but repeating that form over the next 8 matches wouldn't get us close to the playoffs.
Win the last 9 and we'd have an evens chance.

I don't think so Dickos - that would give us 63 points with 1 to play. More than 66 will be needed - I reckon between 70-72.
IMHO Morecambe in 12th (54 points from 37 games) are the lowest team to have a real shot. Someone between 7th and 12th will have a good run in.

It won’t. We need to win all our last 9 games. Which would mean we’d have won 11 in a row. That won’t take place. But, it’s encouraging how Grant has us playing now. It’s all about next season now. As someone has mentioned, such a shame about the awful start. Even just 2 wins in that period would have given us a great shot of 6th/7th place.

how ironic that someone accused a fellow poster of embarrassing themselves but spells it embaress. Oh dear, when you have the spelling prowess of someone higher than year 6, I will engage with you, till then, good day sir.

My model was saying 73 points for 7th place before today. I'd not looked at 7th place before this week, so I don't know how steady that has been.

win all 9 games, and that gives us 73 PTS, sorted!!!!

Rovers could win the remaining 9 games and they still wouldn’t make the playoffs . Close but no cigar.
-
Maybe not
But if we’d played the same as Wimbledon and had won those 2 games in hand we would currently be 5 points off the playoffs with 7 games to go.
We wouldn’t be saying we have no chance
-
I’d be made up if rovers continue this run. And wouldn’t it set next season nicely ?
-
Even within that run 4 of those points have been dropped to late equalisers at Bradford & Salford. If only…
-
Grants January recruitment has been top quality, if he can get any where close in the summer, coupled with the head of medical now getting on top of injuries, we must be feeling good about next season..
-

You have to consider also though that other teams have games in hand on Wimbledon.
That could change that five point gap to something bigger.
For example, if Crawley win their three in hand they would be on 64 points now.
Walsall could go to 59, Newport 58 and Morecambe 60.
-
Worth highlighting that we are top of the league for form over the last 8 games. It certainly feels like we’ve well and truly turned the tanker around after 3 seasons of decline
-
How the hell are we only 2 points behind Notts County in the league? The gap after they beat us at Xmas must have been huge.

Yeah I agree mate
But all I’m saying is if we were sat here 5 points off the playoffs with 7 games left we wouldn’t be saying we’ve no chance
-
Rovers finished with 55 points last season. Would be nice to finish with more . And on current form that shouldn’t be an issue . The comparison would not be worthy though , given the dire start to this season . The turnaround has been quite amazing .

But that is a totally different argument to your "repeat the last 8 matches form and we're in the mix" starter.
-
Thank goodness for the last 9 games and the turnaround we’ve seen.
We were in big trouble, the recent excellent form has only moved us up 4 places since the Stockport mess.
Here’s to finishing higher than 18th, which would be progress and improvement.

When I fist came across students studying Ergonomics - i had an "Accrington Stanley Moment " the kid on the milk advert says Accrington Stanley who the hell are they. I thought what the hell is Ergonomics !
From memory in the early days of Ergonomics it was defined as something like "matching the person to the task" or whatever
Sum of ya know that I do a lot of research ande dun't av a lot of time to spare on here.
I have just invented a term "Ergonomic writing " matching the "quality" of writing to the intelligenze of the audience - that's what I call "efficient communication" .
A) if I was in a court of law as say a "McKenzie friend" my prezzentation wud be immaculate. I would always get my two favourite phrases in a defence. according to the demands of the Civil Procedure Rules
"for the avoidance of doubt" and a sekkond phrase "in the alternative" - this is a phrase used by lawyers when their 1st pleading falls on "stony ground "and they move onto to the 2nd pleading and it let's the Judge know the author of the defence knows "the price of fish"
B) sending a phone text i might deliberately miss the vowels out the aim is to get the message across with the minimum "bit transfer"
C) on this site i basically don't care a toss about my spelling - in later life one tends to forget (entweder oder) how the word is spelltt
as I said - using the internet makes you lazy and many peeple on 'ere wouldn't know whether a wurd is spellte korrectlie.
Your posting is totally without merit as hopefully you have found out.
As for the use of your word engage - the days of spending 1d to "get engaged in the toilet" are long gone - the usage of the word (an attempt to imply superiority) doesn't impress me - i got the t-shirt probably before you were born
Right we have had a bit of fun - time for me to do some serious work
For your homework :-
i am giving you a link in case you want to learn latin so you can be subjected to what i was in the last century

Jones, Olowu, Rowe and Close not being in the team is no secret in the upturn of form. TLT, Anderson/ Wood partnership, Bailey in midfield with Craig allowing Biggins to move forward and obviously Adelakun leaves no space for the 4 I first mentioned in the lineup. Thats why we are now scoring goals, producing wins and not conceding as many. Some propper character about the team now.
While not fully discounting this stocks. But both tommy and joe have played big parts in this run we are on. While they are not considered starters. They have been solid when they have come on. Good players to have to come off the bench.
-
If TLT had started the season with us we would be in the play off positions at least right now!!

Don't forget that a certain Chairman has been bankrolling Grants identification of talent. Hopefully this will continue into next season with a culling of the current playing staff to free up more funds to bring in the quality of players we need for a promo push

Aha just the person I need serious question
are you still in Colombia
have you heard of this casino company out of interest ?
"William Hill opens for business in Colombia
Following the acquisition of a majority stake in the Colombia licensed operator Alfabet S.A.S in December 2020, WilliamHill.co was today launched, making Colombia its first entry in the Latin American market.
Alfabet S.A.S holds a Coljuegos (Colombian gambling regulator) license to offer games of chance and sports betting in the Colombia state. By rebranding the consumer-facing sports book brand BetAlfa.co, William Hill managed to enter the Colombian market within a few months after the acquisition. The launch of WilliamHill.co supports William Hill’s strategy to deliver growth through international expansion and makes Colombia the ninth regulated market where William Hill is currently active."

I appreciate we've improved certain positions with the GK , Adelakun , & Wood retuning but it's no coincidence that we've finally got a functional midfield unit that's making the difference in both defence and attack

I agree but it was Bailey, Broadbent and Biggins today so something must have clicked with the coaching of the team. That midfield gets destroyed and can’t keep the ball a few months ago

everything ok Hun?
-
The play-offs are just beyond us now,but I just hope we reach top 12 so my top half bets come in,and look forward to next season.
-
ok here are the current odds
5/1 with sky
11/2 hills
6/1 bet victor
as i have told you all many times sky give you a decent price for a cash out the other two "NOT SO"
let's say if you want to cash out with sky they might want you to give them odds of 7/1
if you had a bet £1 at 5/1 you stand to get £6 back
you would stand to get 75 pence back - because you are giving them odds of 7/1 to their 75 pence
0.75 x 7 =£5.25
6 ( 5+1) divided by 8 (this 8 is 7+1) =0.75
-----------------------------
OK more generally FOR YOUR £1 BET
you backed at odds of B/1 they offer you P (pounds if you cash out) AND CALL THE ODDS YOU HAVE TO GIVE THEM R/1
THEN (B+1) DIVIDED BY (R+1) = P
IN MY EXAMPLE B=5 AND P=0.75 (THATS THE 75 PENCE CASH OUT VALUE)
SO SUBSTITUTING THE NUMBERS
(5+1) DIVIDED BY (R+1) = 0.75
6 DIVIDED BY (R+1) = 0.75
SO 6 =0.75 TIMES (R+1)
6 DIVIDED BY 0.75 =R+1
YOUR CALCULATOR WIL TELL YOU ....... 6 DIVIDED BY 0.75 =8 so take 1 off and you have given them odds of 7/1

Can’t quite believe we’re in 18th place and yet nearer to the play-off’s than we are the bottom 2.
If that doesn’t tell you how tight this league is, nothing will.
Our 2 games in hand are skewing the (possible) reality of where we could and should be, that is, mid-table.
-
I can think of 2 games that we lost this season which on another day and with earlier substitutions we could have very possibly won. If we had won them we would be in sight of the play offs now.

I appreciate we've improved certain positions with the GK , Adelakun , & Wood retuning but it's no coincidence that we've finally got a functional midfield unit that's making the difference in both defence and attack
I agree but it was Bailey, Broadbent and Biggins today so something must have clicked with the coaching of the team. That midfield gets destroyed and can’t keep the ball a few months ago
We didn't keep the ball yesterday for a period of more than 15 seconds. If we're serious next season 2 of those 3 won't get us promoted. Bailey is the okay one.

Jones, Olowu, Rowe and Close not being in the team is no secret in the upturn of form. TLT, Anderson/ Wood partnership, Bailey in midfield with Craig allowing Biggins to move forward and obviously Adelakun leaves no space for the 4 I first mentioned in the lineup. Thats why we are now scoring goals, producing wins and not conceding as many. Some propper character about the team now.
Yeah but how amazing would a fully fit Close be , playing with all these better players around him ?!!!!!

Agreed, without someone like Craig or Westbrook we were lucky to hold on yesterday, we were fortunate that LTL made some good saves, and we were super clinical otherwise it would have been straight back to how the season started.

A goalkeepers job is to make saves, nobody goes away from home everytime and dominates the game. Mansfield have struggled plenty of times away from home and they’re top of the league.
Yesterday was a very good battling performance which is what you need to be successful.

Last 8 games, 17pts out of 24!!!!! Injuries are not effecting our run due to the strength of the bench.. such a shame about the slow start,
If we continue that form over the next 8 games we could be around the playoffs
I don't think so Dickos - that would give us 63 points with 1 to play. More than 66 will be needed - I reckon between 70-72.
IMHO Morecambe in 12th (54 points from 37 games) are the lowest team to have a real shot. Someone between 7th and 12th will have a good run in.
My model was saying 73 points for 7th place before today. I'd not looked at 7th place before this week, so I don't know how steady that has been.
Just updated my model with this weekend's results.
Currently saying 71 points for 7th place. Down to 70 if Crawley lose tomorrow.

winning 7 drawing 2 would give us 23 more points to add to the 46 making 69 obviously with an obviously improving goal difference seems doable so long as Craig doesn't have a suspension or the goalie doesn't get injured
of course 8-0-1 yields 24 but I'm not greedy
5 home matches & 4 away to go
Barnsley steam rolled into the play offs a while ago and went up at Wembley in that year Altrincham knocked them out of the cup on a friday night when was it they were 2nd bottom in November

Interesting - that is now exactly in line with the gut feeling I put up of 70-72
Fully expecting both of us to be wrong :lol:

The form table, you wouldn’t want to support Notts County

Thanks for sharing that glosterred.
Also worth noting where Forest Green are in that table.
Certainly no room for complacency on Saturday.

So my model is still saying 71 points for 7th place after last night's match.
As you said elsewhere DU, basically zero chance of us getting that.
Although if we win the next three it would get mildly interesting.
-
The next 2 games are against ‘form’ teams and, in particular, the away game at Crawley looks a really difficult one. Assuming we win on Saturday (which we shouldn’t) then get a win there and things should get really interesting.
However, this is DRFC we’re talking about and since when did we make life easy for ourselves?
-
I’d be made up if rovers continue this run. And wouldn’t it set next season nicely ?
That is entirely dependent on who stays and who goes, keeping the latest signings may take some serious money.
