We need at least 12 points from the next 6

That's doable.
Then 3 really tough fixtures and a decent run in.

PUSB-We_are_going_up · Feb 9, 2025

Last block of 6 league games (most recent to least) - LWWWWL

Next 6 games:
QPR (H)
Shef Weds (A)
Preston (H)
Oxford (A)
Stoke (H)
Derby (A)

I think it’ll be WDLWWD

Forecasted 11 points

Ticket sales not looking good at the moment

Sky Blue Harry H · Feb 9, 2025

Most of this weekend's results have gone for us. A win puts us right in the mix.

we will have circa 24/25k for a midweek game - that’s pretty darn good!

Need at least 12 points to stay with the race

David O'Day · Feb 9, 2025

JDS will be fine at LWB, we're not playing CBs or RWBs who weren't great in the SPL there.

I wouldn’t rule out winning them all.

If we stick to 5-3-2 then it will be this

Dovin
MVE Lati Thomas Kitching JDS
Torp Grimes Rudoni
Simms BTA

This is what I'd go with too.
Hopefully Mason-Clark on the bench.

Fancy a win to get us in the right direction again

Got a sneaky feeling they may be targeting our left back, any team now just puts a bit of pace up front and just puts balls through or over the top, there’s so much room behind that high line and we haven’t got the legs, 3-1 cov

They aren't targeting left back, the whole back line is vulnerable to the ball over the top/in behind.

Significant that if Bidwell is out our thoughts regarding team selection are based around baby sitting JDS with him being such a weak defensive link.

Silly too as he played well during the win streak. Him and rudoni link well. Not a big issue

During the win streak? You mean the first win and was unused sub in the other 3?

Think of if I wanted 4ATB without Bidwell I’d play Binks there.

Something like

Dovin
MvE Thomas Kitching Binks
Torp Grimes Allen
Saka Simms Rudoni

I wouldn't mind seeing Bink's as a LWB for a few games. Ok it might fall flat on its face but also think it might work as an alternative to Bidwell. Let's face it Dasilva is a dead duck as an option.

i said QPR will be targeting left back

PVA · Feb 9, 2025

quinn1971 said:

I know, but I'm saying they don't need to target any specific area, we get done far too easily on both sides and through the middle. Leeds cut through at will on both flanks.

Great_Expectations · Feb 9, 2025

As long as the middle three is;

Grimes
Torp Rudoni

We will at least have the ability to create through the middle.

Flat back 4 is too big a risk with JDS. And I don’t think we have the wingers available to warrant it. If we do go flat then Binks or Burroughs LB.

will def have to sort that in the summer, doesn’t matter if you play a back 3 4 or 5 with that high line and players my gran could out pace, we’ll always give chances away but TBF it’s been stupid mistakes that have cost us, can’t afford them, we need a des walker at the back to cover

Tommo1993 · Feb 9, 2025

Absolutely, absolutely, must win.

Not a big issue ? Of course not he's world class.

Sincerely hope so

blunted · Feb 9, 2025

Two of the most dispiriting performances I have seen in years along with the Portsmouth debacle. Yes I was there at Yeovil and Stoke at home in our playoff season.
Earlier in the season we were losing because every shot on target seemed to result in a goal, whomever the goalie was. Chances were hard to come by for the opposition, despite the results. Derby was bad but they still fluked it.
I know I am a stuck record but rearranging the Leeds match so soon was an act of gross stupidity especially as there are free midweek slots later in the season. Apart from the rested players, we are going to be somewhat knackered.
At Portsmouth we employed stupid tactics, trying to play out from the back in a gale. Leeds, who should have notched a cricket score and Ipswich who played a second team were gifted both games, although Leeds were miles ahead in every department. However, a high line against exceptional pace was suicidal in both games.
QPR are in good form with a recent blip, like ourselves. We need to cut out the mistakes, stop Chair dictating the game like he did last season, and put the game to bed before our legs and concentration go.
I have warmed to Lampard, although his post-match observations might as well have been Nilsson's "It's one of those".
We need to get back to winning matches and our season is back on.

David O'Day · Feb 9, 2025

Either of these and Thomas Binks is a toss up

Dovin
Lati -Thomas/Binks-Kitching
MVE-Torp-Grimes-JDS
Rudi
BTA-Simms

Or

Dovin
Lati-Thomas/Binks-Kitching
MWV-Torp-Grimes-JDS
Saka-Rudi
Simms

Macca · Feb 9, 2025

Tough to call. I think we could score a couple but... that defence

No, as I was talking about league games which Tuesday is

The FA Cup game was 1-1 and we won on penalties

Omg not this again. It was part of the win streak

SkyBlue2039 · Feb 9, 2025

Can see us drawing or even losing this 1-2, just feels like we’re back to gifting a goal or two to the opposition per game.. QPR are well rested plus Bidwell is out which is massive. Hope I’m wrong though

Sky Blue Goblin · Feb 9, 2025

To be fair on the last two games, we played a weakened squad against a premiership Ipswich and we played against the best squad in the league with key players out.

Manner of loss not great but we still have the second best form in the league in the last five games and only have conceded three. No reason we shouldn’t go into this with confidence

StrettoBoy · Feb 10, 2025

I have a horrible gut feeling about this one and think we will lose 0-1 or 1-2.

My prediction is of course a cunning plan to ensure we win 6-1
