11 from 15 in October, certainly a happy month, and against some tough teams - November on the other hand actually looks (on paper) a little easier;

 

Peterborough - 12th (H)

Coventry - 22nd (A)

Brighton - 10th (H)

Bristol City - 24th (A)

Hull - 6th (H)

 

Without wanting to curse us, I'd say they were all winnable games - I fancy us against anyone at home now, and the only away games being against sides in the relegation zone sounds good as well. I'm probably buoyed far too much by optimism from today, but could well fancy us to pick up 13 points and really put some distance between us and 3rd this month!

With the players all having the mindset they do and NA not under estimating any of the opposition,I do not think the club as a whole will under estimate any of the teams in this league. All games are potential banana skins,but the way we are playing we need not fear anyone[ in this league.]

Putting my 'trying not to get carried away' hat firmly on I'd say that 9 or 10 points would see us through a solid enough month. 12+ would be simply fantastic but let's take them one game at a time eh...

Yes I'm ****ed and ratting every thread on the forum, but 15 points IMO. 13 goals scored, 4 conceded. Jack Cork to score a 40 yard goal of the season, IMO. And Chappers to get banned for getting his **** out as a controversial celebration

Isn't Hull In December so taking that out I'd say all 4 games are winnable so 12 Points

 

From the OS:

 

Tue 1 19:45 H Peterborough FLC

Sat 5 15:00 A Coventry City FLC

Sat 19 15:00 H Brighton FLC

Sat 26 15:00 A Bristol City FLC

Tue 29 19:45 H Hull City FLC

Peterborough - 12th (H) - draw

Coventry - 22nd (A) - draw

Brighton - 10th (H) - draw

Bristol City - 24th (A) -win

Hull - 6th (H) - win

 

So from 16 home wins on the bounce we are going to draw our next two? :rolleyes:

Peterborough - Win

Coventry - Win

Brighton - Win

Bristol City - Draw

Hull - Draw

 

To be honest, I actually think we could win them all. Only thing is Hull are so good away. Next 2 should be wins though.

Yep, those are my predictions. Try to deal with it. I am not excluding the possibility that we win them all, I just dont think it likely.

 

Even the cold logic part of your brain must be able to win thru all the romantic mush to realise that at some point this run is going to end. I say there is a good chance against Posh and Brighton.

Hmm. I'm going for:

 

Peterborough - 12th (H)- Win

Coventry - 22nd (A) - Win

Brighton - 10th (H) - Draw

Bristol City - 24th (A) - Win

Hull - 6th (H) - ​Draw

 

I think that's a fair tally, and would put us on 41 pts going into the xmas period...

"How many points CAN we get?" Well we CAN get 15! "How many WILL we get?" Hmmm, 13 IMO, if we play as well as we know we can in every match.

I knew someone would do that as soon as I re-read the title, and I'm not exactly stunned it was you :D I reckon Coventry will take a point off us, and Brighton and Hull worry me a little, but I just think we have enough to get past them.

:-D Sorry, I was being a pedant! I think if we play as well as we can, the only game I think we have the potential to struggle in is, ironically, Bristol City away. But stranger things have happened, our form can't last forever. Can it?

Hull are certainly creeping up the table after a poorish first couple of matches.Presume their match in hand is against Birmingham

so that helps a bit although who ever wins that game would (in theory) be only 3 points behind us as things stand.

I don't understand the confidence behind the away wins. We have really struggled to put poor teams to the sword away from home and both Coventry and Bristol will race their games against us, for sure.

The home games will be a penalty kick if we play as we have been. But the away games, I'm not so sure...

Where's Dalek to tell us that Saints will only pick up a few points, but be happy to still be in the top 6 at the end of the month?

Well, my predictions were obviously wrong. But that's what they were, PREDICTIONS. And half the people on here will have got one of them wrong so far, let alone two.

 

What have you got out of experience of trying to single me out ?

Didn't you get last months predictions right? I hope you get this months lot right too, I'd take that.

Nothing really. I was looking for this thread because I wanted to comment on how we have managed 6 out of 6 so far, and I thought I would read through the previous responses before I did. I came across yours and decided there and then to highlight it. Not sure why, but for one crazy moment I thought you might actually have a laugh about it and admit to being happy you were wrong. No need to be so defensive about it.

I am really chuffed to be wrong, but seeing as I usually seem to get all sort of abuse after we have won, I just suspected this was the start of another round.

And how many home games have we won on the bounce?

 

19 I think - which is nothing short of magnificent! :)

 

I was merely responding to the suggestion that we were meeting "easier" teams this month than we did in October, and I would agree with this when looking at Posh, Cov, Brighton and BC - I just wanted to point out that Hull (to me) are stronger than the other four teams :)

Our average so far, if i got the maths right, is 2.25 points per game; therefore I will go for 12.

 

Your math is spot on. In our 20 games this season (16 FLC, 4 LGCP) we are 14-3-3, with an average of 2,25 points/game, 2,30 goals for/game, and 1,10 goals against/game.
