But who knows with a few bad ref's, injuries, sending off's form?.....

I’ve got us 3rd on 91. Behind Villa and Wolves.
Finishing outside the playoffs would represent a significant loss of form.

I had us down to lose at Villa, win that and I'd have all 3 of Villa/Fulham/Derby to finish on 88 points!

We just have to beat Fulham, Cardiff and Aston Villa.

I rather optimistically had us 2nd with 95 points

I presume Forest were relegated...

Mine is very close to GT Karl

Mine was based on our ability to grind out a draw.

I still predicted we would get 23 points from 16 games equivalent of 7 wins 2 draws and 7 defeats

given Derbys style this season where most games could go either way I'd say its quite a realistic prediction

I'll stand by my 81 points prediction however Its quite likely that the other teams I predicted to be above Derby wont achieve their points

Derby's style this season has delivered 16 wins 10 draws and 6 losses. Why the dramatic change of form?

We only have 14 games left Bush so your maths don't compute.

How many games do we play in a season?

No change in form, I wrote Derbys games this season could have gone either way so 23 points from 14 games is about right

We only have 14 games left Bush so your maths don't compute.

That strengthens my argument and wekens yours though.......... 7 wins 2 draws and 5 defeats then

Derby 89
Villa 84
Cardiff 83
Bristol City 73
Fulham 72
Norwich 70
Leeds 69
Preston 68
Sheff Utd 67
M'boro 67
Ipswich 64
Brentford 59

Easy!

Average prediction (so far) is somewhere between 3rd and 4rd .
ie 3.5th.

It is Bush pulling us down, without him we are 3rd. Goal difference might be critical if Bush can be ignored.

All games could go either way. Forest beat Wolves at Molineux. Ours is a solid if unspectacular style so it would be surprising if there was a major change in performance. If we have got a little under 2 points a game thus far then most likely we will get about the same. I can't see us winning nearly all and I doubt we will lose many since our defence has been very tight. We will be solidly in the 80s as far as points go. The other teams are more variable. Villa are in great form right now but in December, around the time they lost to us, they went 5 games getting 3 points. When teams are on winning streaks they seem invincible but such a run could easily happen again. I mentioned on another thread that Jim Smith's promotion team had a shocking run in March/April. I think we will hold our nerve well enough but it depends on how well Villa or less likely Cardiff hold theirs. Jack Nicklaus said he used to try to hang around the top of the leaderboard in majors and wait for those around him to crumble. That seemed to work pretty well for him.

WTF does a super computer know anyway!

Isn't that what they all do or are you saying that Jack deliberately missed shots so as not to take top spot.

Iwas, they simply looked at my "where will we finish" prediction on Peeder's thread

Iwas, I worry about you. First Gameinhandgate and now this. Jack never used to take too many chances, played the steady game, plenty of pars etc. Others felt they needed to gamble, get a couple of birdies to win, and in trying to get too close to the flag ended up in trouble from where they made bogey or worse.

That was the analogy. Ask an adult to explain it if still unsure. Of course sometimes the gamble pays off, but more often slow and steady wins the race, as the saying goes.

Don’t ask me Iwas. I have no idea what he’s on about either.

I think it’s to do with a golfer going round a course in less shots than his opponent. There’s more to it. Can’t wait to hear more.
