whelk Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 No such thing of course however of our remaining 15 games only 4 are against top 10 teams Thinking of Bristol City and Doncaster it is not necessarily a comfort. Also none of current top 10 teams can do the double over us so we have clearly perform well against the better sides - how Leicester are not in top 10 is beyond me though!

Thedelldays Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 meh....dont worry about the reports....lets hope they drop more points at blakpool and we go back top on sat.... that was probably the hardest away game left....just think the likes of.. pompey ipswich barnsley donny coventry to come to sms and we still play millwall posh watford away not a bad run in...still to play 7 of the bottom 10 I think it will go to the last game of the season...coventry at home for us...easiest on paper west ham v hull brum v reading watford v boro palace v cardiff I think 85 points will be enough for 2nd...ie 8 wins, 3 draws, 4 defeats we are going to have to win about 3 more away games IMO our tough games on paper really are.... hull away boro away blackpool away reading home and maybe leeds away (seeing as they will no doubt have a new manager by then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 On paper it's not a bad run in, but I worry about playing teams battling for relegation at this stage of the season - and as we've seen all year, teams at either end can throw up surprise results. No one can predict what will happen. If we can keep ticking along as we have been, and carry on this decent unbeaten run, we'll be ok. As long as we're in the mix for the top 2 come to the final few weeks I'll be happy, I can't really see anyone running away with it - it'll be tight all the way through now.

LaptopSaint Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 No such thing as an easy run in. It's going to be tight as a gnat's chaff - but I really think we can do it. Wish we didn't have Pompey in April though - it always becomes a distraction. And we've got bigger fish to fry (see what I did there) than beating the Blue Few.

Just gave your post a slight tweak hope you don't mind. As for the OP then I've been thinking along these lines for a while. We seem to be over the slump, & have got through a tough period of fixtures, now I know that nothing is a given in this league, but our fixture list on paper is quite a decent run in. Agree with TDD 85-points is a very realistic & do-able target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Monday we might well find out we haven't got Pompey in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should do it, but wo knows.... There is going to be a lot of table watching between now and the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Diamond Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 There is no way we can judge now what the end of season run in will be like. We don't know how many points we'll have by then, what our form will be like, what their form will be like. It is WAY too early to think about run ins.

RedArmy Posted 15 February, 2012 Share Posted 15 February, 2012 Plenty of winnable games there. 10 should do it hopefully. We won 13 of our final 15 games last year, would be pretty amazing if we went on another run like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
