Very optimistic.
What have you seen to suggest that. We just don't/can't edge teams out....as I said earlier, we aren't bad, but just "match" teams...can never seem to get an upper hand.
These sides will be scrapping for their lives, on poor pitches, and sadly, I just don't see us having it in us to win three games to match that points tally....

We need 6 pts ideally

But not 1 game in confident we win

That said we are back to competing week in week out which is good

Take 5 draws! And yes i know that's 5 pts lol

Agree I think 2 wins would do just fine. Providing one of them is Rotherham. Could even lose the other 3 and it wouldn't be too bad. More than a point a game.

It would mean us on 41 points. With 8 left. With

I would add 6 would be minimum. All very winnable.

It doesn’t matter how many points we get as long as it is more than our rivals.

We need 9 from these 3, preferably from teams around us

He has played okay lately but doesn’t look like scoring and that’s his problem a bit like Huwalla (excuse the spelling) last season. not bad in the air but I can’t remember the last time he got a header on target.
In my opinion he is still a better bet than Bakayoko though that in itself is a concern. As yet Walker has to get upto speed, not sure about him yet either and same with Gyo. Just got to battle through and get five wins which I think is the minimum we need for survival.
As for the next five games I’d say 6 points and not to lose to Rotherham being a good return.

you could well be right and we get a lot less but I have a feeling we will beat Luton, Wycombe and one of these three Middlesboro, Derby and Rotherham likeliness in that order.

Whoever we play against, we only seem match them.... usually going a goal down after a mistake. Despite playing some decent stuff, we don't seem to do anything to "edge" teams out...
Can only see a few dour draws out of this lot I'm afraid.

We need 2 first team strikers in over the summer with Godden and Walker as back-up, if we’re actually serious about progressing at this level.

Go on then, I’ll be pedantic back. They complete 5 matches in 13 days and 45 minutes

That would be amazing to win 3 out of 5. Probably unrealistic.

Something we havnt done all season. 2 wins and 3 draws is a bit more likely and woukd compare to a run early December.

We’ve got the bottom 8 still to play, Starting with QPR away on Wednesday, but it’s not the happiest of hunting grounds for us, I’ve been 13 times and never seen us win. But we’ve beaten 7 of the bottom 8 already this season so I’m hoping we’ll do it again.

Only thing that worries me now is we’re on 51 points, so basically we’re safe, one or two defeats could see our intensity drop.
