windermereROYAL I would feel a little sorry for Rotherham if we hadn`t been in a dogfight with them over most of the season, decent bunch of fans and a team that punch above their weight in the shadows of Leeds and the Sheffield teams.

Crowbar6753 Agreed, Rotherham look like a great little club with plenty of fight and spirit which sometimes gets you places and sometimes doesn't. Ultimately class will show through, and the 5 loanees shipped in by us has given us that edge and spirit to pull clear at the end.
Good luck to Rotherham next season, i'm sure they will will hovering around the top 6 again. I think they took a 6-1 beating a few weeks back and that really did knock the stuffing out of them mentally.

Yeah, away to Derby, which coincided with our home win v Preston. That may well have been the definitive turning point.

StrandedThe Prisoner Looking at the trends of form over the last 10 games Ipswich are averaging 0.5 points per game, then Rotherham on 0.6, Bolton 0.8, Wigan 0.9, us 1 point per game and then Millwall 1.2. These figures are unlikely to fluctuate considerably between now and the end of the season.
Transposing those form returns to the remaining games is a good a place to start as any. That would leave the table as follows:
Millwall 49 points
Wigan 47
Reading 45
-----------------------------
Bolton 37
Rotherham 36
Ipswich 26
Interesting post - I tend to look at games this year as given our change of manager and style, that gives a better picture of what teams are doing now - a slightly smaller sample so more open to error but extrapolating 2019 form - you get a final table that looks like:
Wigan 50
Reading 47
Millwall 46
----------------
Rotherham 40
Bolton 34
Ipswich 27

So looking at Gomes' last 15 games he is getting 55% more points than Clements was in the 20 before he got sacked.

Agree - much rather Millwall had gone down

Zip When you look at Gomes record with us it looks poor with 6 W 9D 8L to date. Yet the vast majority of us would say he is doing a cracking job and turning things around. It’s all about context. He has energised a squad and fan base which was on the floor.
It’s easy to draw conclusions based on the bare facts but there is always a context to consider. In this case an incredibly modest set of results represents a significant improvement on what had come before.

It’s a stat I read this morning and on checking it does include the Man Utd result. In the League it’s 6 W 9 D 7 L.

Snowflake Royal I mean, we certainly weren't dead and buried. In trouble for sure.

Ian you were resigned to us going down and said we should just stick with Clement as no one was going to turn it around.

I did, but I certainly wouldn't have described us as dead and buried. And I didn't expect the level of loanees we got to come in either.
I believe I had us as going down by a small margin.

Without Olly and Meite? I doubt it.
We've suffered few injuries in recent weeks.
