The next six games for us, Ipswich and Boro, it seems like we’ll be the 3 at the top. When we come through this period there will only be 12 games left (other than Ipswich’s postponed game vs Hull) so thats why Im doing next 6 setting it into 3 blocks:
(Colours represent W,D,L in reverse fixture)
(Expected points is my guess how many each team will get from these fixtures)

Coventry

Norwich (A)
QPR (A)
Oxford (H)
Boro (H)
WBA (A)
Sheff U (A)

Expected points ~10

Leaves around ~68pts

Ipswich

Sheff U (A)
Preston (H)
Pompey (A)
Derby (A)
Wrexham (A)
Watford (A)

Expected points ~11

Leaves around ~61pts

M’boro

Preston (H)
Norwich (H)
Sheff U (A)
Coventry (A)
Oxford (H)
Leicester (H)

Expected points ~9

Leaves around ~61pts

Surely Boro would be 7 points behind based on those expected points?

Robinshio · 2026-01-21T23:45:28+0000

10 puts us on 68
the points for the others is ok, but ipswich still have the game in hand
Also the colours v points makes no sense - versus the totals

Deducted 3 from us by accident! Whoops will ammend at once

Colours is revers fixture, expected points is what I think they’ll get in the next 6, total is current + expected points

Ipswich to only get 11 points from 6 fixtures? That's only 3 wins out of 6 games. .

They've just won 5 in a row haven't they?

Well, I hope you are right, because another 6 games scratched off and still 7 points ahead, would be fantastic.

Covkid1968# · 2026-01-22T07:03:55+0000

If we are 7 points clear in 6 games… I’d suggest we wouldn’t be caught. I think it’s going to get a whole lot tighter … so hope you’re right.

Its just an estimate, and being more optimistic

They have won 4 in a row and it's the first time they have managed to string together more than 2 back to back wins all season. They are incredibly inconsistent, especially away from home and they have about 5 back to back away fixtures in Feb (including the cup which they were stupid enough to not get themselves knocked out of).

Ipswich to lose at home to PNE is an interesting take I’ll give you that. As is us failing to beat Oxford at home while beating Sheff Utd away.

Anyway, I’d be cautiously optimistic over getting 12 points from the 6 games and so being on 70 from 34 overall.

Sky Blue Harry H · 2026-01-22T08:47:46+0000

We really could do with picking up our away form again over this next block of 6. Could do with Wilder's lot collecting something against Ipswich this weekend, but Sheff Utd seem to have self destructed over the last couple of games (not helped by having an awful forward line - bar Bamford). I think Boro have the nicest run of fixtures over the next 6, and our home game against them is likely to be pivotal.

Colin Steins Smile · 2026-01-22T09:13:51+0000

Preston have their CF banned again & are not in great form, so think that’s a win for Ipswich and Boro.
I would expect us to beat Oxford, but draw with SU.

Yeah, 5 wins in a row, including the cup win. That's what I meant.

They WERE incredibly inconsistent. For sure they were, especially earlier in the season. but this is a different Ipswich team now and they finally seek to have got their act together and got into gear.

I expect them now to win the league.

alexccfc99 · 2026-01-22T09:21:58+0000

If we can come out of two away games 4pts ahead of Boro and then pick 6 up from those two home games I would be chuffed to bits

4 of those 5 games were at home to be fair Otis.

Robinshio · 2026-01-22T09:36:09+0000

it is clear Boro at home is pivotal
difference between 3 points and 9 at this stage is massive
I really think it is winner takes all, with a draw leaving a fight out to the end

shepardo01 · 2026-01-22T09:37:15+0000

In that spell, interesting to see that Boro have four out of six at home - including the next two.
While we have four out of six away!!

The fixture pattern is odd this season we seem to be playing two home games followed by two aways quite often

Average league position of these 6 games for us is 14th, no idea what theirs is. Yes these are 4 away games, but 3 against the bottom half and one against mid table.

Colours is revers fixtures not what I think will happen

tom88 · 2026-01-22T09:56:48+0000

This is what I think:

Norwich (A) - W
QPR (A) - D
Oxford (H) - W
Boro (H) - W
WBA (A) - D
Sheff U (A) - L

11 points from 18 which would put us on 69 points
