February - masssive month

[Terminal Boardom]

My considered opinion is as follows:

Sat 6th Feb A v Doncaster LOSE
Tues 9th Feb H v Plymouth WIN
Sat 13th Feb H v West Brom (FA Cup) LOSE
Weds 17th Feb A v Crystal Palace LOSE
Sat 20th Feb A v Blackpool LOSE
Tues 23rd Feb H v Newcastle LOSE
Sat 27th Feb H v Sheff Weds WIN

I can't see us getting anything better than 6 points.

Has there ever been a more important month in the history of RFC?

Someone says that every year

"I have a very bad feeling about this."

[BanffshireRoyal]

it was definately the results in feb march april and may that meant we did not go up last season....

And that meant we were relegated the year before.

Oh great, thanks for that.

Now I need a drink!!

Well, you got the first one wrong

it's not a massive month - it only has 28 days.

Crackhead! You're overlooking the fact that it has my birthday in it. Massive!

Many happy returns.

May Reading also have many happy returns of maximum points.

Happy Birthday Arch.

Fair bit off yet, but cheers anyway and likewise.

[Stooper]

Optimism raised.

Tues 9th Feb H v Plymouth
Weds 17th Feb A v Crystal Palace
Sat 20th Feb A v Blackpool
Tues 23rd Feb H v Newcastle
Sat 27th Feb H v Sheff Weds

I can see 7 points from that. Ok, dependent on other results clearly, but going to 36 points would be almost certain safety for me.

[Barry the bird boggler]

Palace, Blackpool and Newcastle are scary. If we get more than a point out of that lot I'll be amazed.

[Snowball]

Sat 6th Feb A v Doncaster I think we'll win 2-1

Tues 9th Feb H v Plymouth WIN ( A lot turns on this game, WWW and we'll start flying. Draw or lose and it's back to worrying) Other scores are presuming we beat Plymouth

Sat 13th Feb H v West Brom (FA Cup) Can't decide. Feel like if we get a good league run this'll be 0-1, but do West Brom want it?

Weds 17th Feb A v Crystal Palace 1-1

Sat 20th Feb A v Blackpool 1-1

Tues 23rd Feb H v Newcastle 1-1 maybe sneak 1-0

Sat 27th Feb H v Sheff Weds WIN 2-1 or 2-0

[Harpers So Solid Crew]

where did you post that Snowie???


predictions after a result are no good at all.

Not really a prediction TBH - more a statement of fact.

[Arch]

Optimism raised.

Tues 9th Feb H v Plymouth
Weds 17th Feb A v Crystal Palace
Sat 20th Feb A v Blackpool
Tues 23rd Feb H v Newcastle
Sat 27th Feb H v Sheff Weds

I can see 7 points from that. Ok, dependent on other results clearly, but going to 36 points would be almost certain safety for me.

A total of 50 may not be enough to keep a team up this year. 36 after these games is close to the minimum of what we'll need, but a country mile from certain safety.

If we go unbeaten I'll buy you a beer. If we go unbeaten AND beat Newcastle I'll buy you dinner.

[SLAMMED]

And what if he gets them all right? A full on rodding?

My predictions:
Sat 6th Feb A v Doncaster DRAW
Tues 9th Feb H v Plymouth WIN
Sat 13th Feb H v West Brom (FA Cup) LOSE
Weds 17th Feb A v Crystal Palace WIN
Sat 20th Feb A v Blackpool LOSE
Tues 23rd Feb H v Newcastle LOSE
Sat 27th Feb H v Sheff Weds WIN

Im hoping we can turn the Mad Stad into a bit of a fortress for the run.



Look a bit further and March might just be the most crucial month. I suspect our destiny will be sealed one way or another by the 16 March when wil have played:

6 March Scunny away
9 March Derby home
13 March Bristol City home
16 March QPR home

All teams we should get something from given their current form. 10 points and we are sorted!
