The Much Awaited Return of Promotion Maths

[villalion]

We need to win the next two and push on from there. But anyone who thinks that they will be easy wins is a mug.

I thought the minimum we should get from the september games is 4 wins and 2 draws. I am a little bit surprised we're still on for that.

I think Bolton will be easy but Burton will be tough

Am I a half full mug?

This season vs last same stage last season, doesn't overly prove anything, i'm just bored.

Deano's Mullet posted it above you and now I'm repeating it!

I'm hoping Bolton don't change their manager this week and get a ''bounce'' on Sat when we play them in a frustrating 0-0 at VP. Beating Burton would be great but I don't know if our lot are cut-out to win regularly away yet. Four points from six in the coming week I think is what we'll get.

I thought 7 points this week was the minimum

But 9 is doable

In two matches? Yes lets go for that - Bruce out!

Beat Bolton and that would be 14 points for this month which is what I was looking for.

Important we get the points on the board as next month is looking very tricky with the fixtures.

Way I see it is September has got us nicely into play off contention. October will show how far or not we're off automatic promotion challenge.

SB has done well but he's still got a bit to prove e.g can we got to a Wolves, play well and win or will we see a return of the hang onto a point for dear life tactics?

As much as I congratulate him for the last 3 wins, I worry that he loves a point much more than a gamble.

Not beating Hull, Cardiff, Boro or Reading suggests we are flat track bullies. But if we can gain confidence by beating the likes of Barnsley, Burton and hopefully Bolton then we gain confidence and momentum. I believe tonight was Burton's heaviest ever defeat in this division. I also like the way we are gaining points and moving up the table is making the promotion maths more simple.

Maybe I am wrong about it being their heaviest defeat and possibly it is their heaviest home defeat in this league?

They shipped 5 at Leeds a few weeks back.

Burton are a tough nut to crack at home though, the results show that.

Bolton haven't won in 30 Championship away games. They've lost 22 of those.
They haven't scored for 10 hours.

Who they got next?

Don't you predict us to lose every game?

[Matt Collins]

Our fixtures are much tougher after the international break

If we're still right in the mix after them, things are definitely looking up
