Got another key 3 points on the way to 70 points.
14 more points has to be the aim.
4 more wins and 2 draws.

Think EMC should be fine for Tuesday (think this was said on the CWR) and unsure on Milan as seemed fine at full timeI am more worried about us staying injury free.
Guessing that MVE and EMC will miss a few games now. That could really hurt us.
Great that Wright and Sheaf are now back, but we can't afford to lose any more and MVE especially, will be a big loss.
Fingers crossed .Think EMC should be fine for Tuesday (think this was said on the CWR) and unsure on Milan as seemed fine at full time
I think the best result of the day (apart from ours) is Middlesboro losing. They are the team I was fearing, but now 6 points behind us
Yes but I just felt they could go on a run similar to ours at any time.The same Middlesbrough who have lost 7 out of the last 10?

Bristol have a horrible run in.They've got a good squad but they've been terrible for too long to warrant that level of a turnaround.
It's only really Bristol and West Brom that pose any kind of threat to us. Millwall have an outside chance as well if their form continues.
Norwich and Watford too inconsistent, as predicted Blackburn have fallen out of the PO spots and that'll probably stay that way.
Norwich and WBA are the danger teams for me. So Norwich drawing was good for us and we’ve got a nice buffer now and really should finish above them.
You can’t rest on your laurels, but we really should be looking at catching up to 4th place. A win v Derby and Sunderland could close the gap to 6-7 points (unlikely) with 8 games left. The difference between 4-5th is irrelevant anyway but it’s great for momentum.
I'll be happy if we come in sixth, don't care about getting one over Sunderland apart from beating them next week and then at Wembley!Norwich and WBA are the danger teams for me. So Norwich drawing was good for us and we’ve got a nice buffer now and really should finish above them.

Not sure Norwich are that much of a threat tbh. Their form has been pretty average over the past 6-10 games and their run in isn't great.
Pretty much the same teams that we're facing then just in a different order!They do have arguably the best striker in the league but actually, I agree with you. Their window of opportunity was getting wins v Oxford, Hull, Derby and Blackburn. They drew all 4 games and lost to PNE.
Their next 6 games: Sheff W (h), Bristol (a), WBA (h), Plymouth (a), Sunderland (h) and Burnley (a). They will drop points and even if they win all the games, it does us a favour with Bristol, WBA and Sunderland ourselves.

Yeah granted certainly have the squad to turn it around and go on a run but based on recent showings I'd be surprised.
They'll have to get at least 20 points from the next 10 to be within a shot of reaching the POs. Big ask given who they've got coming up.
I agree. Just shows how injured players sometimes take a while to get up to speed. Both Sheaf and particularly Haji look a long way off their best.I am more worried about us staying injury free.

I’ll freely admit that my perception of them was rooted about 3-4 games ago. They’ve been horribly inconsistent and dropped points against teams they ought to beating and now that have a tough run in.
They’ve been inconsistent all season and they’re probably punching below their weight.
Like they did with Swansea they have the capability to seriously punish teams. But they also draw far too many games.
Out of the past 8 they've only lost once, but 4 of those have been draws.
Yet still only 6pts off us. I'm not counting them outThe same Middlesbrough who have lost 7 out of the last 10?
WBA with Armstrong up front yes. I can't believe Southampton got rid of himNorwich and WBA are the danger teams for me. So Norwich drawing was good for us and we’ve got a nice buffer now and really should finish above them.

WBA look a lot stronger than Bristol CityBased on PPG it’s 97 for autos, 70 for 6th and 41 to stay up. If I had to put money on for 5th and 6th atm it’d be us and Bristol City.
Yeah that's an odd loan from Southampton, and a great loan for WBA, unfortunately.WBA with Armstrong up front yes. I can't believe Southampton got rid of him
10 games left of the season.
Derby A
Sunderland H
SU A
Burnley H
Pompey H

West Brom H
Plymouth A
Luton A

Need to carve 4 wins and a couple of draws. By the time we play Luton and Plymouth they might be relegated by then and Boro out of the play off picture. No doubt some tricky games in the last 10.
Some favourable fixtures there. Portsmouth are poor away from home, Hull abysmal at home. Middlesbrough are on a downward trajectory. Luton's, Plymouth's and Derby's seasons speak for themselves.
I'd be very surprised if weren't able to grind out at least 10 points out of those.
Need to probably pick up 3-4 points from Burnley, Sunderland, Sheff U, West Brom games though.
There’s that patch of Sunderland, SU and Burnley all in succession. Hopefully we pick some points up in that patch to not lose too much momentum plus likely we could face them in the play offs.
This does concern me slightly. There's a risk of us coming out of those fixtures with minimal points, or potentially none at all, and the side losing confidence going into the final block of games.
It probably would've been better of those games were spread out over the final 10 rather than clumped together.
3 of those 4 games are at home. I can see at least 1 win there, and 1 maybe 2 draws. Remember what we did to Fulham in their promotion year, and Leicester & Leeds last year.Some favourable fixtures there. Portsmouth are poor away from home, Hull abysmal at home. Middlesbrough are on a downward trajectory. Luton's, Plymouth's and Derby's seasons speak for themselves.
