AshtonGreat Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Big(ish) names, but to be honest Nugent's strike rate is nothing special. Cameron Jerome's is even worse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 We're a good side who probably lack a bit of depth at the moment. Throw in the cup run and its effects and i think top 6 will be an excellent finish. That said our run in is not too bad and injuries are returning, so a similar run to pre -xmas and you never know.... regardless it's been a brilliant ride this season and longer term the future is rosy.

Grey Fox Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Think we have a chance, as do the other contenders. We will need better luck with injuries from now on in, and maybe as the season goes on the pressure will build on the players and managers of teams like Villa, Leeds, Boro, Derby than us. Basically it is a dogfight from here on in Great isn' it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Looking at our fixtures if we're still in contention for 2nd when we get to the Preston game then I think we have a great chance. But that run of games at the end of Feb running into March are tough - Leeds, Fulham, Cardiff, Wednesday and then Preston all teams that are up there.

I don't think our fans gave us as much credit as the team deserved. I just seen fans saying how lucky we were. I thought we controlled the game for large parts and our interplay was far superior. But Derby in fairness did have the better chances. We just look a good team. I'm not sure it will result in Auto's or Playoffs for that matter, but we've come on so much.

BS3_RED Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 As I said in another thread, for me we are battling with Cardiff, Sheff Utd, Fulham etc for 5th/ 6th spot. If we make the play offs I for one will be delighted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
