I think we are slowly changing our mind set as a squad. The players know that games like this have  to be won. Especially after dropping points at home so soon. I hope Bruce makes a couple of changes Onomah-Whelan (small pitch) will need speed and energy. 0-2 Kodjia-Snodgrass .....

4 points will get us nicely in position if not quite in the top 6.

Given where we were at the start of October last year I can live with being a point or two off the play offs.

As I've said October fixtures will give an indication whether we're automatic promotion contenders or just scrambling for a play off position under this manager.

Enough of this jibber jabber. We are beating this lot tomorrow and Bolton on Saturday.  Nothing less than 6 points will do me.

Don't feel confident at all about this game after the last one. 2-1 Burton

This. Our next 5 fixtures after the international break will be much more challenging therefore we need 6 more points this week.

Echoing many, we should be winning this sort of game if we want promotion.

To go up automatically, we have to win SOME of these sort of games. But not all of them

Don't agree.

To go up automatically, especially after our poor start, we have to win nearly all of these types of games - against teams who will be in the bottom third throughout the season. "SOME" won't cut it I'm afraid.


Last year's three promoted teams all won at Burton. I expect us to win and get on a serious winning streak.

Totally agree we should get six points. Although part of me thinks it might only be four.

Draw would be a bad result. We just had two shit draws, and had we won Brentford, Boro or both then a draw might not be as bad in that context. As it is we have to beat the likes of Burton and Bolton if we truly want to close the gap on the three. Anything less will be a huge disappointment.
Is the right answer.

when was the last time we won 3 on a trot.

We have to win this. if we want to be serious about getting promoted these games we need to win now especially what we have dropped already.

1-2   Villa
