Tinmans Love Child Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 If we have any aspirations of staying up it's all about the next 4 games, 2 at home, 3 against relegation rivals, if we can get 7 points minimum from these 4 games it's all to play for!

Tinmans Love Child Posted February 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 The last 4 games were always going to be very very tough and proved to be the case, I thought we would do well to get anything from those games, so 2 points isn't bad really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Share Posted February 25, 2017 I like the way you say 3 relegation rivals, but come 2200hrs on Tuesday that'll have changed to "they're a massive team/spent a lot/false position" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will that be enough to stay out of the bottom three - doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBobSuperBob Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Actually more concerned about Burton than Villa I think we may rise to the occasion playing at Villa Park Burton is a massive game for us both because of our respective league positions and as a real test of our character and guts / attitude as much as anything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears in rain Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I think Burton will be tough Norwich we could draw with but will likely be a lot of goals looking at the stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am - don't think 40 years supporting city has helped me develop my optimistic side tbh. I just look back at how we played against Rotherham after putting in a real shift to get a draw v Sheff Wed. If that happens again and we are back to being flat at Villa we will struggle. If we lose that the fans at AG will be on LJ's back again which won't help in the two home games. Obviously hope the optimists on here prove me wrong. For what it's worth if we sacked LJ today I suspect the lift in mood would give us a chance of winning three out of the next four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnclosureSurge Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 "The next 4 games are what it's all about!" No it's not. It's the next 13. Everybody stop turning this into do-or-die, 6-pointer, must-win games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody stop turning this into do-or-die, 6-pointer, must-win games. True. But if we fail to get results and points soon, the last few of those 13 may not matter at all. Some of the upcoming games (Burton, Wigan, Wolves, Blackburn to give examples) arguably carry more importance than others, due to the impact positive results for us would have on the whole relegation picture. You are right in general, of course, and all games should be considered equally important. But maybe some are just that little bit 'more equally important' than others...

redapple Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 If we lose against Burton and Wigan we don't deserve to be in this division. And Norwich at home has to be cause for optimism. Even Villa away doesn't seem the intimidating fixture it might have once looked. Over the course of 4 games you can allow for 1 slip-up but anything less than 5 points would be curtains. I hope for 12, expect 10 but I haven't seen one complete performance this season so I anticipate 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Balls Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Mine is 5 points trying to be a bit pessimistic. Draws against Villa & Burton, lose against Norwich, and beat Wigan. Not sure that will be enough though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
