For Norwich to reach 70 they'd need: win 7, draw 5, lose 1 (70 points) win 8, draw 2, lose 3 (70 points) win 9, lose 4 (71 points) All doable like you say, but it's difficult, and that's just the minimum they'd need. It would also require two teams to do it to knock Rovers out now. All we need to do now is be ordinary and we have a real good chance. (though we said the same twice before recently)

2 from Rovers, WBA, Coventry and the winner of Bristol City v Boro on Friday I think. Bristol City have the toughest run in, Sheffield Wednesday and Watford have a negative GD so it's hard to imagine either team suddenly averaging 1.92 (they'd need more due to their GD too). Norwich downwards, although they need 2 ppg to reach 70, they're only 4 points off WBA. 7 behind ourselves is a nice cushion. Interesting that every contender would have to better their current PPG to reach 70 points except for ourselves, who could perform worse and still make it.

The board probably just read his wiki as a player and thought he was a specialist

Boateng was a coach at Villa whilst Gerrard was there (albeit not a Gerrard hire and in the U23 squad)

74 would mean 2 of West Brom, Coventry, Bristol City etc. would have to average 2+ points per game (equivalent of a 92 point season). Very slim chance 2 of those teams can be consistent and put that together (as big as 2.3 ppg for Norwich to reach that). It's a season where 4 teams have Top 2 form whilst everyone else bunches together so it'll be a low total. I'd be very surprised if 71 isn't enough this year, we have a steady GD too currently (only WBA better)

6 wins, 2 draws, 5 defeats. Feels pretty do-able for sure, and I’d be very surprised if 71 points didn’t get us a spot this season.

The worrying thing is the bold (majority) are all either gone at the end of the season or out of contract in the next 6/12/18 months. We need to get Travis and Tronstad tied down asap. We should give Ribiero a longer deal if he continues as he has started. We should extend Dolan - despite what many say on here he is a solid Championship attacker and won’t be short of suiters (no point selling as we never reinvest) Hyam may be at his ‘Lenihan’ stage and want more money, but if the deal is right, tie him down too.

They’re not wrong. I thought we looked really good today. Fully in control and should have been a goal up in the 1st half. Kept possession really well with the midfield dominating. I wasn’t sure how much was to do with Plymouth being crap, but if they’re saying that then maybe we’ve looked better than their recent opponents.

Cough cough

Great by Gueye and Kargbo there too! Such a good goal! Gueye, Dennis, Ohashi, Kargbo, Dolan, Cantwell. Good 6 options for our 4 attacking players

Dolan has had another good game. The bloke is a solid championship attacker and we’d be clambering to sign him if he was on the opposition. Fully deserving of a new contract. edit: and posted before the goal!!

Can’t argue with that. Millwall goal and a Wednesday goal and it’s be pretty perfect

Forshaw!!!! Christ it must all be lining up for us 😂 9 years since his last goal, and it comes against his old club. Equivalent of Nyambe scoring against us 😂

No excuse to not have Dennis on the pitch here - these are terrible at the back

Boro now losing - downside would be they might pot Carrick if they lose and that suddenly becomes more appealing for vacant managers

Going well elsewhere

He looks a league below this in my opinion

They have a horrible run in (Leeds, Sheffield Utd, Burnley, Sunderland, West Brom, Boro, Norwich, QPR) 8 of the top 12 - 2 of which are themselves and us. But I agree, it would be nice if they fucked off and left a bit of a gap

This PNE pitch is awful - sad indictment of the Football League

Well I listed 3 games from 5 or 6 in Europe this season so not a one off. You implied Chorley would give them a game. Like I said, It wouldn’t even be a conversation if we were linked to some hipster manager in European leagues like Austria, Greece, Scandinavia.

It’s L1/L2 level no need to be patronising. Shamrock Rovers for example held their own against top division teams in Europe (beat Molde, draws with Rapid Vienna and APOEL). Wouldn’t see similar comments for a manager in the Norwegian, Austrian or Greek top divisions. But I do agree with the rest of the post 👍

He probably would. Won the league of Ireland last season and his next step feels like the Championship.

I don’t want to curse the next person I put in there 😂

Doesn’t usually end well when Rovers are odds on!

This feels like an absolute massive match. Regardless of form, this is a team 2nd bottom of the league without a win away from home all season. A win for Rovers takes us to 51 points after 33 games, could potentially take us 4+ points clear, with a fairly tame schedule versus our opponents (only 3 of the top 7 to play) I’d be confident Rovers of old lose this match, and gift Plymouth fans their first away win - pray that these lads prove me wrong - I’ll start believing the top 6 is likely with a win today.
