Our next five games - prediction

[SoccerHQ]

Should beat Preston, like last season they have 5-6 regulars missing v us. Lost at home to Hull today.

Wigan looked decent earlier this season but been in dreadful form for a few months. Know someone who lives in Newton-Le-Willows so will be popping up to that one. Has to be a game to win if we want to do anything this season.

Hull home. Beat them up there under SB....will also weaken them by recalling Elphick.

QPR is a bit of a danger one for me. Can see it being a draw although they're the last opposition we should underestimate after last season.

Ipswich will probably be moved as think we'll beat Swansea cup even with changes.

13/15.

[Matt Collins]

Win all 5

Tend to agree the Qpr game looks the banana skin

If we can win all 5 we should be well placed in the play offs and perhaps within touching distance of automatics after all. But that depends on others dipping of course

I thought you were on about me then!

[SoccerHQ]

Ah Ads I just want the GD prediction from you (wink).

[eamonn]

We always seem to play Preston when theyve loads of injuries and we still struggle to beat them (Deepdale apart last season).
With Grealish I'd be confident of winning all of these with maybe one draw/defeat. Without him, it's just too hard to say as we are struggling to impose a style of play in his absence thus far.

Not a prayer of 15/15 I’ll donate £100 to this site if this comes in. More like 11/15

As the song went, five will make you get up...

Reading away after these 5 games as well. 18 out of 18?

They're all winnable. Each may pose a problem in some way, QPR for example are a bit of a bogey side, but play that game at Loftus Road 100 times and their defence cracks 90 times out the 100.

We need a big winning streak to cement us into the Play Offs. With new additions we may have solved a crisis or two and be stronger.

Players returning to fitness and with the fire power we have, I think we could be repeating what happened last year at this time.

[Dazvillain]

Agree with most that 15 Pts should be won but we really remains to be seen what starting 11 are picked / available to get them ......that’s my fear with lack of freshness , injuries etc

[darren woolley]

I can't see why we can't win all of those games and get maximum points so I reckon 15 points.

[eamonn]

That's the festive spirit!  No, really, it is *hic*

[Matt Collins]

By the Qpr game, unless we've got the likes of lansbury or ohare  ready to step in, I reckon tiredness could be a factor
