[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Right so the next league games are:
Charlton (A) - 1st Jan
Birmingham (A) - 4th Jan
Leicester (H) - 17th Jan
Milwall (H) - 20th Jan
Norwich (A) - 26th Jan
QPR (A) - 31st Jan

What would we be happy with points wise and what results do we expect?
For me I’d be happy with around 10-12pts keeping it around 1.8-2.0 pts a game
Results I can see

Despite December being...disappointing...I don't think we need to fear anyone. This team has shown their resilience in the past and I don't think FL will let complacency or negativity creep into the squad.

A couple of additions to help out the squad and we can push on and get a top two place. We don't need to match the first half of the season to achieve that.

A win and a draw at Charlton/Blues will be fine. We tend to focus on our own results, which is undesrtandable but other teams will lose form too, look at Stoke and now Boro. Ipswich won't win every one of their next 22 games.

Relax, it'll all be fine.

 

[bigfatronssba]

We should be looking at 12-15 points from those games

 

[Grimetime]

Sometimes if you push too hard you end up prolapsing, though.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

If we can get 10pts a month from Jan-April we’ll be on 91 and thats still with 1 game left in May

It’s a pretty tough run of games.

 

[bigfatronssba]

It’s a pretty tough run of games.

not compared to November and December

 

[fatso]

JDS, Thomas and BTA comming back in along with one or two additions and resting the first choice regulars for the cup weekend will see us ready to push on for the final months of the season.

The backroom staff need to get to grips with those that are way off their normal form, (Rudoni and Wright for example) so there is work to be done in the mean time.

The Christmas/new year period was always going to be a huge challenge for such a small squad, so there's no suprise weve seen a dip in results.

No need to panic, get through the holiday fixture pile up, then we go again.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is december really disappointing? we are 10
clear of 3rd

 

[lord_garrincha]

Remember... when fans see

Coventry (A); or
Coventry (H).

They are thinking... take a point all day, or... take the L and move onto the next one.

Wife & kids left me when I woke up on Xmas Day.

No it was a tough month and we’re further clear than the end of November

 

[Robinshio]

Looking at 12 ahead. If we get 21 from them we are on 72 with 10 to go. That will be enough for the final push which on paper looks quite winnable games

so 11 points from the next 6 will keep us well on track

the Middlesbrough and hull games are massive looking forward

Not really.

We won’t have a run of fixtures as tough as that again this season

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not really.

We won’t have a run of fixtures as tough as that again this season

exactly. At the start of the season everyone signalled it as our most difficult month.

even at the start of the month many were expecting us to drop out the top 2 by the turn of the year

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Must win ALL and we are as good as up

 

[covcity4life]

Charlton (A) - 1st Jan WIN
Birmingham (A) - 4th Jan DRAW
Leicester (H) - 17th Jan DRAW
Milwall (H) - 20th Jan WIN
Norwich (A) - 26th Jan DRAW
QPR (A) - 31st Jan LOSE

9/18 PTS and gets us to February needing 7 more wins for promotion

 

[Balli001]

Started the month 12 clear of 3rd and finish it 10 clear. Think of take that given the fixtures

 

[skybluecb]

Charlton - Win
Birmingham - Draw
Leicester - A sneaky win
Millwall - Draw
Norwich - Draw
QPR - Draw

10 points - only two home games in Jan, so I think 10 or more points would be superb

 

[oscillatewildly]

Leicester is the only one we win - We draw the rest.
Factoring in other teams around us results (which I haven't but you can!) we either stay top by our finger nails or drop to second with an 7-8 pt lead over third place.

 

[StrettoBoy]

I would be very happy with ten points but if our recent form continues we will be lucky to get more than six.

Let us hope that we can strengthen the squad well in January

 

[Travs]

8 from the next four games would be a great return, they aren't easy. But i suspect we lose one of the away games, and fail to win one of the home games.

Jeez there isnt a single gimme in there..why do these fixtures look so tough.

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

13 points, from that.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We lost to one team and Ipswich were all of our pre-season favourites... I think we should be looking at 6 points from home and another 2-3 wins away.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Charlton - Win
Birmingham - Draw
Leicester - A sneaky win
Millwall - Draw
Norwich - Draw
QPR - Draw

10 points - only two home games in Jan, so I think 10 or more points would be superb

10 pts would be but I think we'll come in slightly shorter than that.

 

[Macca]

Won't hold on to our top 2 status without additions imo

We will beat Charlton they are shit
Lose to Blues
Draw Leicester
Beat Millwall
Draw Norwich
Beat QPR

 

[Ian1779]

I think 10 wins will see us over the line. We should be getting 3 or 4 of them in this month.

 

[theskyisthelimit]

We will beat Charlton they are shit
Lose to Blues
Draw Leicester
Beat Millwall
Draw Norwich
Beat QPR

Birmingham haven't been playing well
Leicester blow hot and cold
Millwall at home should be more worried than we are about this fixture
Norwich have only just got going but we rarely do well there
QPR will again be worried about us

We are top of the league and we should be the ones other teams fear.

Yes it would be silly to overlook or to not give any other teams credit but we should be wanting to come out with atleast 12 of the 18 points

 

[Para1140]

Win Charlton
Draw Blues
Win Leicester
Win Millwall
Draw Norwich
Draw QPR

were top of the league and we are going up.
Have faith guys every team that gets promoted has a blip and we arnt top of the league for no reason after playing every team in the league

 

[Paxman II]

18 points...another good run
