I think playing Wright is the correct decision, let's get him match fit as soon as possible and it should pay off towards the end of the season. FL can always make changes if it's not working.

3 of those 4 games are at home. I can see at least 1 win there, and 1 maybe 2 draws. Remember what we did to Fulham in their promotion year, and Leicester & Leeds last year.

Bristol have a horrible run in.

Yes but I just felt they could go on a run similar to ours at any time.

I think the best result of the day (apart from ours) is Middlesboro losing. They are the team I was fearing, but now 6 points behind us

This is quite possible. I believe one or two of the oxford players might have targeted his shoulder following the injury. I just think that if it was bad enough to pop out a second time on fairly minor contact he wouldn't have been able to continue following the original injury. Shall have to...

I don't normally bet but I regularly donate small amounts or what I can afford to various charities. I will trust you not to do a runner and create a new account if you lose. £10 charity bet that we finish 6th or above.

clarify what you have in mind

It seems to me that some on here think that a team that has not fallen out of the top 4 of the last 12 games form table is suddenly for no reason going to crash and burn in the next 12 games against mainly lower table opposition. Anything could happen but why are people expecting it?

It doesn't mean 10 points from 2 blocks of 6 though, it's 20 points from 12 games we need. the second block of 6 from your post, includes Portsmouth, Hull, Plymouth, Luton. The other 2, WBA and Middlesboro we also have an excellent chance of beating as they are both at home. So to say "no...

If they could play like title contenders they wouldn't be in the bottom 8 would they?

That was a ridiculous run of results. Just look at the last 8 games where we took a total of 4 points , 5 of those games were at home and the only one we won was against Leeds. We conceded 15 goals in those games, and without checking all line-ups I know Collins was in goal for some of those games.

I think we will get around 70 points, whether that's enough remains to be seen. March fixtures Oxford (A) Stoke (H) Derby (A) Sunderland (H) Sheff U (A) 2 wins and 2 draws = 8 points April Fixtures Burnley (H) Portsmouth (H) Hull (A) WBA (H) Plymouth (A) Luton (A) 3 wins and 2 draws = 11 points...

For a while they played it as the team came out instead of "all sing together" IIRC

Remember this?

Yes that was a strange thing to do. In a weird sort of way it helped us supporters understand what went on behind the scenes, enabled us to make some sense of why it all happened, because at the time there was a lot going on with Viveash which didn't make sense. (assuming it was all true). But...

I would be interested to know how you sack someone in a nice way. Some of us are a bit biased because of what MR had achieved, but in reality once the decision was made I'm not sure how it could have been handled better.

It's becoming obvious now that we do have a top 6 squad. Forecasts now for 6th is 68 points. So another 20 points should give us a good chance. No guarantees but looking at our remaining fixtures, 20 points is well into possible territory.

We didn't lose over the 120 minutes and only conceded 1 goal so there was lots of opportunity for either vik or Gus to conjure up some absolute quality out of nothing. I accept we were unlucky to Gus went off injured.

Batch is the right word. If you ask for a sausage roll you get a sausage roll if you ask for a corn cob you get corn on the cob There is no confusion with asking for a batch.
