Some massive ones in there, two local derbies at home, two of the top three, two relegated teams and the league leaders, and four in the top eight.

Takes us to the halfway point of the season as well.

What say you?

I think 8 points will be a good return, not sure if it’ll be enough to hold onto fourth, or even top six. 10+ and it’ll be a very happy Christmas.

They are all tough games in this division we are showing we can compete with anyone and adversities like having ten men for a whole half, I think we can win half of those.

That is about a tough a run as we could get, I'm really positive after today, a few games I fancy us to win and a few on paper we should stand no chance but the Fulham result shows we can compete... if we do have a poor run I hope the fans stick with them. I think they will there seems to be a bit of a attitude shift even when we were trailing the fans sound great. I mean the poor buggers at Luton still sang til the 90th min.

In fairness if you could just throw an achievable draw on there v Huddersfield and that would look pretty decent. Dome of those stop others gaining too and reckon we would still be top 6 with that.

Also add when it's midweek games and 3 in a week, that 3rd game usually throws a few strange ones in there so hopefully we'll be throne that does by beating Bournemouth. Stranger things have happened.

Bournemouth will be playing on Sun and Wed before playong us on Sat. We play on Sat and Tue. So we will have an extra day's rest vs Bournemouth. B'ham have been up and down this season and are starting to show signs of improvement. Sheff Utd have had some weird losses at home (e.g. vs Blackpool) and haven't exactly looked unbeatable. Same can be said for pretty much every team on that list including us I suppose. As long as we play smart, stop giving away possession or goals cheaply, respect opponents without deferring to them, play a full 90 minutes and be switched on we should be fine.

Agreed with that. That’s a tough run. I’d happily take a draw at Bramall Lane, Bournemouth and Huddersfield, but I’d realistically be looking at 0 to 1 point from those. Anything more is a bonus.

Anything above 6 from those 6 I'd be happy with. Toughest run of fixtures we have, - but yesterday will have given us such a massive lift. Don't want either wing back sent off or injured while Maatsen is suspended though, as we'd be incredibly light there (although I still think Hamer could cover the rwb role)

I’d say 8/9 points being optimistic, plus our 4pt playoff cushion would hopefully see us stay in the playoffs.

Then we can all truely start dreaming

Sheffield United - Draw
Birmingham - Win
Bournemouth - Lose
West Brom - Lose
Huddersfield- Win
Stoke - Draw

8 from 6 for me.

Puts us on 38 at the halfway point.

Replicate that in the second half and thats a play off place

8 points would be a decent return from those.
Would be very happy with a draw away at Sheff U for starters.

I can see us beating West Brom and Birmingham, drawing to Sheffield United Stoke, Huddersfield and losing to Bournemouth.

My in laws are West Brom fans, and people I know really don’t rate Ismael. They’ve not been playing well

9 points, don't care how we get them, but 9 draws from 6 games would be particularly impressive.

Brother in laws best mate is a season ticket holder there says it’s worse than watching under Pulis. The players they have are really good players, but not suited to Ismael’s football.

I was dreading that game at the start of the season, but after seeing them a few times on the TV I’ve been getting more optimistic each week

Im always more confident going into a run of games like this.

Shackles off. We can beat anyone.

We will beat .

Birmingham
Stoke
Huddersfield.

Sheffield and Bournemouth, we got a good chance. Defence slightly concerns me.

Sheffield have had alot of possession amd create lots of chances they just cant put them away.

On their day anyone can beat anyone in this league, PNE can win away at Bournemouth, we can stick 4 past Fulham and Luton can put 5 past us. If we look after our own performance we could get something from all of these fixtures, if we aren’t on it we’ll get punished.

All in our hands.

If we’re still in the top 6 after this run of games we have to consider ourselves serious contenders.

Equally if we find ourselves out of it but within touching distance, it’s still all to play for.

We never seem to do particularly well at Sheff U, the only time I remember us winning there was under Boothroyd and when we first came down from the PL.

Were pretty unfortunate to lose there in 05/06, took the lead through Scowcroft I think then got shithoused in the second half.

Yeah I went to that one too. There were some cracking games against them during the 00s, and we seemed to get shithoused against them a lot, especially when we lost to them 1-0 at HR on a Boxing Day, I think.

1 game ban for denying a goal scoring opportunity, 2 game ban for dissent, 3 for dangerous play IIRC
although I'm not sure if it's 2 games if the player has already served a suspension, but I think that only applies to red cards
