Such confidenceGroups of three??
No no no. two blocks of five and a bonus left. Need ten points from each.

Hull - L
Sheff Wed - W
Blackburn - W

Wrexham - D
Watford - bonus (W)
94 points and a title.
Why is everyone throwing a D in for Southampton?
We were the better team in the 1st half there and could’ve (should’ve?!) taken 3pts if Dasilva stayed on.
That’s with MvE + Rudoni at 25%, no Tats, no Thomas, no Onyeka, no BTA.
Take out Wednesday from their away results; they beat Stoke and were 3-0 down by HT at Leicester - before that no win away since 22nd November.
They have hit form, currently ahead of us in the last 5: Championship - Form table
That's pretty much how I see it, although I have a feeling we might lose to Southampton, but I think 93 will be more than enoughGroups of three??

Sounds stupid but I hope the team take it 1 game at a time, focus on the next game and play like its the last game for the next 11 fixtures
With the advantage we’ve got or as Benjamin Bloom calls it margin for error we can afford to drop points here and there, but as long as we focus on ourselves and our own run in, the game at hand we’ll win the league. As Lampard said himself although not word for word its about finding that formula then rinse and repeatThis.
I was thinking about this and the run in and how it compares to Matchplay Golf (like the Ryder Cup). Each player goes into thinking their opponent is going to hole every putt, stuff an approach shot into the middle of the green or hit the fairway with every drive. All they need to do is concentrate on themselves doing that so if their opponent doesn't do it, they're at an advantage.
We're the same and just need to concentrate on what we're doing and not getting overly bothered about Boro, Ipswich or Millwall.
Like you said, concentrate on getting 3 points after 3 points after 3 points and it won't matter what the others do.
Yup, that's it. You can slice and dice the run in any way you choose - average league position of opponents, their PPG at home/away, last 10 form etc - But it's ultimately down to each 3 points...This.

Even simpler than that. If we're good enough we'll do it, if we're not we won't.Yup, that's it. You can slice and dice the run in any way you choose - average league position of opponents, their PPG at home/away, last 10 form etc - But it's ultimately down to each 3 points...
It's quite likely the gap will narrow and the pressure will increase in the next couple of weeks. I'm a bit more comfortable with Rudi, the Tank and Lati providing a gutsy backbone. Hopefully Grimes can get to peak form to lead and help control things.For each of us is as follows:
Us:
Bristol City (A)
Preson (H)
Southampton (H)
Boro:
QPR (A)
Charlton (H)
Bristol City (H)
Ipswich:
Leicester (H)
Stoke (A)
Wednesday (A)
I think we're going to have to win at least two of ours to maintain a decent gap. The chasers have favourable fixtures and in particular Ipswich who you'd expect 9 points from.
Get through this three and Swansea away after on top and our run in eases considerably. DO that and I think we're champions. It's going to be an intersting few weeks now though.
Agree, their fixtures have been relatively kind too. We’ve played Sheff U an Boro with two impressive wins.Why is everyone throwing a D in for Southampton?

I’m not sure why Hull (a) is being classed a L or D. Their home form is mid. In isolation, every game we have left is winnable and we’ve turned a corner, we’re finding ways to win games.

Why does he run straight at LatiYou can’t beat a bit of gutsy.
Hull away worries me more. Also Wrexham at home could spoil things if we dont battle themEvery game remaining is winnable. Southampton the only team that worries me.
We just need to not blink first out of the 3 contenders
This amuses me more than it should every time I watch itYou can’t beat a bit of gutsy.
Lati does do a sidestep to block him, but it still looks like Conway could have avoided him. Probably trying to do the same as Lati and lay down a marker. But failing badly.Why does he run straight at Lati
Bobby fouls him Lati just stands there
Hull away worries me more. Also Wrexham at home could spoil things if we dont battle them

I actually think Swansea (A) is a worry - after an international break especially.
