Think you might be right, I was thinking of winning 6 on the bounce.

...I’m a few days ahead of myself.

We've had a lot of "Next three games" threads but I'm really looking forward to the next three and by the end we'll have a much clearer picture of where we stand.
Think hard before a knee jerk answer but could 5 points possibly be better than 6 over the three games?

It’s the same every time we win “yeah but just think about the next three games, what if we lose them”, I am concluding that we have a lot of massively depressed & anxious people supporting us.

Rotherham have been grinding out tight wins just like we have, won't be much to choose between us on Tuesday. Sunderland have been pretty free scoring though

If Rotherham are 2 up at HT, then ok, I’ll accept a draw.

I can't see, based on what we've seen this season, how anyone thinking logically can even consider we'll lose all 3.
We've only lost 3 all season. We've played Ipswich 3 times already and they haven't beaten us.

We have not been able to play our expansive football of late, largely down to the weather, but we huffed and puffeda bit today against a poor side and made Rochdale look half decent for much of the game. Fatigue is there a little be it mental or physical, and I do agree Kelly looks off his usual higher standard. Allen ran everywhere without much effect on things until playing in Godden.
It was not our best performance and I hope we come through it while still gaining wins. Rotherham on Tuesday should lift everyone back up to the levels we need to be. Shippers and Westbrooke have barely been involved the last few games so you can't expect them to come off the bench and be match fit or on top form which is a slight worry. Would have liked to have been 3 up today and brought them on. It wasn't to be. But wins build confidence and we will be readyfor Tuesday.

Confident that we'll remain unbeaten for the remainder of the season and lift the trophy in early May.

Says something that we’ve strung together five wins on the bounce when we aren’t in particularly amazing form.

We changed our style a little bit against Portsmouth. Wondering if MR will do the same Tuesday or Sunday given the opposition?

Define amazing? If you win 5 on the bounce that’s pretty amazing to me!

I think that's a sign of a good team though - finding ways to win. For example today our press was brilliant against a team playing passing football from the back. Seems that the coaching staff is first class and the lads are prepared for all scenarios.

I mean we aren’t playing as well as we have this season but we are more effective. It’s good to see.

Finally a centre half scored from a set piece! Was Hyam’s goal against Sunderland the last one? Happy to be corrected

I thought McCallum was very good today after a few variable performances. Dabo and MCallum are vital in our set up.

I think we've all uttered the words "That's the sign of a good team, winning when you're not playing well" about some title chasing outfit or other.
Well now we can say it about our own.
Fatigue, fixture congestion, injuries, suspensions, the fucking wearher!
They all play a part in teams losing their cohesion later in the season. All about the results now.
Though having said that, we still show patches of real quality most games, just not as consistently as earlier in the season.

Good to see Godden score again today. Difficult pitch and conditions so good to see this through.

Dabo again starting off another goal for us down the right.

Rotherham will be our biggest test. The boys will feel the pressure a little on Tuesday as it’s a who goes clear top game.

Not about settling, wouldnt yoi take it if offered? 2 more games gone, top of the heap and they all have to plau eachother yet. Of course I'd like 6 and there's a chance we could get them, but offered 2 draws and I'd say thanks and move on.

Well because its hypothetical and will never happen I would be ok with us not losing either game and if we win would be ecstatic

Their midfielder Callum Camps was good I thought. Type of player we should be looking at within our budget if we get promoted

Is anyone else concerned by Kelly's form?

Been poor for a few games now in my opinion.
Now either Robins thinks he's playing ok in which case fine, I'll bow to his superior knowledge or he just doesn't trust anyone else to play there which is a concern and perhaps the reason Kelly seems to be the only midfielder not getting rotated.

Totally agree he didnt seem right today or is it because Walsh gets through so much work and Kelly has eased a little
