The ‘wobble’ month (6 Viewers)

It seems to me this would be the time for it. Congested and difficult fixtures + our squad depth being tested with injuries already.

I think the real test is not it happening but how we react to it. If we can get to 50 points by the end of the month, then we’ll be in a good position to add some recruitments in January.

If we do have a poorer run, I think it would be accepting our promotion tint is going to be a lot closer than people think. It won’t be fatal, but just a case of embracing and dealing with the pressure.

If we are serious about this season we need to be winning every game.

It’s going to be close, I can’t see us just walking the league with games to go

50 would mean 7 points from 6 games. Difficult month or not that would be a big disappointment.

5 of those games are against the top 6, 3 against parachute clubs. And we are cursed at Preston. Disappointing but not inconceivable.

Someone worked out 1.57 points per game from now on should see us automatically promoted.

Thats around 9.46 points from these 6 games.

Therefore 9/10 points would be what I'd like.

Thats either 3 wins or 3 wins and a draw.

Possibly 2 wins 3 draws and a loss.

Not inconceivable by any means but it would still be disappointing to go from a run of 11 wins in 12 to 2 wins in 6.

SonofErnie · 2025-12-01T11:53:01+0000

Looking at the fixtures, every chasing team also has a tough month ahead, plus the 2 games in early January. I expect the status quo to be maintained and the 10 point gap to hold.

mmttww · 2025-12-01T11:56:12+0000

Is a wobble like a crumble? asking for r/friend.

thekidfromstrettoncamp · 2025-12-01T12:08:30+0000

I don't think it's going to be close confident not bragging.
As for this month if we win our home games that would put us on 52 anything away would be a bonus.
Everyone on here is bothered about the Ipswich game they have only won 1 of their last 4 at home we have won 3 out 4 away pressure is on them

Diogenes · 2025-12-01T12:17:34+0000

I think this month actually works in our favour. We've built up a huge lead going into it so couldn't ask to be in a better position. Some very difficult games but so were Stoke, Middlesbrough etc. We will lose at some point but they will be fearing us more than we fear them and id much rather be playing them now than in the final few games of the season.

Get these out the way, and we are into January where we can add to the squad, have BTA and others back by etc. And then in the run in all these difficult teams have to come to the CBS fortress.

Paxman II · 2025-12-01T12:21:57+0000

Suggesting a 50 point target - just 2 wins and a draw from what 6 games? Think there are still plenty of doomsayers on here.

True, but we can comfortably lose up to 11 more games and still get promoted

Robinshio · 2025-12-01T12:33:49+0000

win our home games so say 10 wins 2 draws and 2 defeats at home
And then probably need 10-12 points from 14 away games

skyblue_55 · 2025-12-01T13:33:24+0000

There seems to be a lot of pessimism about our forthcoming fixtures .
We are leading this league by 10 …..yes 10 points & have already racked up 50 goals … so the shitting themselves & being hopeful of just a draw against us , is from every team that we now play .
Standards have been set & Frank has turned our players into a championship winning team ….. nothing more , nothing less , so let’s enjoy these next bank of wins .

We need about 15 more wins to get an auto spot. That's without a single draw. 28 games to go.

We are well ahead of the curve at the moment.

I think 13 might be enough if 3rd place continues to drag their heels

itsabuzzard · 2025-12-01T13:45:35+0000

If there's any wobbling to be done, it'll be done by the wobbly bits of the SBA as they jump for joy in the weeks up to Christmas.

Crazy when you think we've just won 11 out of 12. And we have 28 games left to find potentially 13 more.

I swear if it doesn't happen for us this season I will need to find a new hobby because it would just be too much for me to deal with.

Agreed

It would be a tough one to come back from and I don't think it would be as simple as moving on once new season starts

Ricketts · 2025-12-01T14:06:12+0000

Don’t forget, we traditionally have a slower start to the season. So it’s only going to get better.
I think 59 points at the end of the year. I know I’m being pessimistic but for some reason, I think Bristol City will hold us to a draw.

Many would feel the same

We can afford a wobble month, can’t keep this win run going
