Yesterday was a big boost after playing one of our hardest remaining games. With just 19 games to go the next 6 covers as near as dammit a third of our remaining games. All of them to me should have the odds in our favour especially with the players we finally have available.

Millwall H
Norwich A
QPR A
Oxford H
Middlesbrough H
WBA A

Points? The big game is obvious but we have home advantage. Would be happy with 2 points a game as long as we get minimum a draw against Middlesbrough. It would put us on 67 points with 13 games remaining. Middlesbrough couldn't catch us even if they won the other 5 games.

But for me W4 D2 and a bit more breathing space. Am I too confident?

I wouldn't say it was one of our hardest remaining games, Leicester are one of the worst teams in the league.

Realistically 11-12 points. Just dont lose against Millwall or Middlesborough so they dont gain and its one less game for them to gain ground

It's a pretty tough run but hopefully we can find some form now. We are well capable of winning all of those at home (Millwall and Boro being tough mind) and getting at least a point away. I think we'll end up with about 3 wins a couple of draws and a loss. That should keep us on course.

Im hoping the EFL award us an extra 2 points for winning the M69 trophy, seeing as they haven’t done anything about the cheating yet.

Did you say that after the 1st half? They only seem to turn up for the bigger games like beating Ipswich 3-1 in between our two defeats to them. Yesterday was their cup final as they have nothing else to play for this season.

I think unbeaten has to be the aim, win at home and then get 5 points away. Gives us 14 points. I think that’s a solid and realistic return.

Current form table for next 3:

Millwall 5th
Norwich 9th
QPR 11th

These 3 alone will not be easy at all. I don’t think I see any of our remaining games as easy. Still a lot to fight for at both ends of the table and that will only get more acute.

I’d be happy with at least 10 points from the next 6 - but acknowledge we really need to be taking way more.

Exactly my thoughts. We could then go on to get 20 points from the following 4 games and that would really make us unstoppable.

We've already shown what we can do against Millwall and Middlesborough away. QPR are struggling ATM with just 5 points from their last 5 games and 3 of them were from their home game against Sheffield Wednesday.

The other 3 are in 19th, 22nd and 23rd for a reason.

I was thinking maybe 10 points from those 6 games, but would be fantastic if we beat Millwall or Boro

How many games is this over? QPR have 5 points from their last 5 games.

No Championship game other than Sheffield Wednesday could be seen as easy and even then that's pushing it a bit.

Clement is doing a good job at Norwich. That will be a tough one

And qpr are the typical randomly we will beat top of table team in championship.

And obviously Boro is massive

3-4 wins out of 6 and I'll be happy

It’s muscle memory for me, I know they’re not all that this season. But I reckon we’ll lose away at Norwich - just never get anything there. Obvs hope I’m wrong!

All depends on which version of us turns up. Millwall will be tough. 4th in the league with good players but we slapped them at their place and they are -2 which is the tactic. They concede goals. If we play like we did 2nd half against Leicester, we’ll win.

I’m adamant QPR will want revenge for that pounding. Even though it also seemingly turned their whole season around

Not looking past Tuesday tbh. Millwall will be tough, but we are capable, especially at home.

Three points on Tuesday please and let’s go from there.

I've said it so many times. No away games in this league are easy. Sheffield Wednesday probably the exception this season.

11 points for me.
Beat: Millwall, Oxford and West Brom
Draw: Middlesbrough, QPR
Lose: Norwich - they turn into prime Barca against us most of the time

We haven’t won away since the end of November so I’m viewing every away game as tough at the moment.

Really need to be picking up about 12 points from these 6 I’d say.

We could win 4 instead of 3 and yet the meltdown on here would be bigger as we lost 2

Norwich look as if they've given up on Sargent after he refused to play last weekend!! He wasn't even picked in their squad yesterday, so looks like we wont be facing him next week.

They're 13th, almost bang on midtable, how are they one of the worst?

And they have some very high quality players. Fatawu, James, Mavididi, Pereira all quality. They're very jekyll and hyde because they rely on those players having good games.
