Remaining games
« on: March 14, 2017, 01:41:16 PM »
I know a win makes us feel like we could win the league and a defeat certain relegation but the last few games, even Huddersfield apart from one moment of falling asleep, has allowed us to get a head of steam to go into the final part of the season.

With 9 games left I could really see us getting a minimum of 20 - 24 points

Wigan        W
Norwich     W
QPR           W
Burton       W
Reading     W
Fulham      L
Blues      W
Blackburn  W
Brighton    W (as I think they will be already promoted)

If things had gone to plan and these fixtures were the promotion run-in, I think that we'd be quite confident

Was thinking the same - even accounting for one balls up (choice between first 10 or games during Jan / Feb) I still think we would be there or there abouts

Keep the majority of this team together next year and I can see records being broken  ;)

Have you just woken up from a long deep sleep? I'll take that bet ;-)

We're bound to lose a couple but it is possible we could go unbeaten. I can't see it though.

One thing's for certain, we should be going all out to smash everything in front of us.  Anything less isn't acceptable.

That remains to be seen.

with the simply absurd number of injuries we won't go unbeaten in my opinion. But even so, a very decent points haul will only serve to frustrate us more revealing what could have been possible this season from a very average league. The rest of this season is all about setting us for the next and ensuring we make no mistakes in our attempts to get back up.

If I had to guess I'd go for about 17 points which, given the state we were in only last month, would be a decent enough run in.

Reading Fulham and Brighton are all hard games. The rest we should be expecting to win.

I think we'll end up 6 points off the play off places - which will be very frustrating to say the least.

I'm steering well clear of this. After our signings I had us down to beat Brentford, Ipswich and Barnsley.

We've beaten 2 and the other we should have.  More difficult fixtures on paper but still winnable.

I still do not want to make the playoffs this season, too soon and we need a season of confidence building before going up. We however need to dominate this league from the start next season, no hint of a play off requirement, automatic promotion only; which should give the resilience required to make our comeback to the top league a sustainable proposition.
