Starting earlier than ever this year.
As Darrell Clarke said in his interview, we need 15 wins and 35 games to get ‘em.
Countdown starts now!
The RCS + DC annual countdown thread
Moderators: Admin, Ralph, asl, Robin
Let's be realistic with the size if the task.
DC is rebuilding for next years L2.
We some how avoided the drop last year with the likes of May, Broom, Jackson and Caleb.
15 wins for a team yet to score is pure fantasy.
You have seen the performances?

Yes its wishful thinking however has got to be the target.
Personally id accept relegation and save the money to build a decent squad next year. Blowing money this year is a waste IMO as I cannot see us avoiding the drop

I was just setting the countdown target mate. Wasn’t commenting on whether it it is realistic or not.
From where I sit, it is good to have a goal (no pun intended), for the rest of the season. The alternative is to aimlessly accept our current state and drift into L2 without a fight.
Will we make it, the odds say no, but why not try and shape our own destiny? Too easy to get caught up in this current goalless run and talk ourselves into thinking it is all inevitable. Win 15 of our battles this season from now on, let the squad just concentrate on that and hope DC can clear their minds of the past and try and inject some self belief, Being no hope'ers today is as good a place to start as any. I shall be cheering on from Paris and hoping for a great display of self belief. COYR

Yep, the longest of long shots but at least give it a go. I’m committed to all home games and plenty of away games this season so expect the same of the players.
A relegation battle is as eventful as a playoff push, but we need the battle.
15 wins = 15 goals potentially.
3 penalties
3 own goals
2 deflections
2 set pieces
1 cross that inadvertently sails in
1 goal mouth scramble
1 hit and hope worldly from 35 yards
1 Russian linesman
1 normal goal from a striker
That’s all we need (albeit the last one may be a stretch too far).

PPG Prophet is your friend: https://twitter.com/PpgProphet/status/1 ... 7984455759
As of 16 Dec, PPG Prophet was forecasting CTFC to finish the season with 37 points…but just above the line in 20th place! See:RegencyCheltenhamSpa wrote: ↑25 Nov 2023, 18:17PPG Prophet is your friend: https://twitter.com/PpgProphet/status/1 ... 7984455759

(Icing on the cake - also forecasting some lot in Nailsworth to finish on 35 points, and (quite firmly) destined for the National League. See:

Personally I think if we stay up it will be a greater achievement thank last years finish

4 of the next 6 at home - Blackpool and Charlton under the lights, plus Vale and Burton. Aways at Wigan and Wycombe will be tricky but certainly no reason we can't pick up something. We then face a run of Oxford A, Barnsley A and Peterborough H so I think we need at least 10 points from the next 6, which would put us on 36 with 11 to play.
