CyberDan Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 For me its: Villa - W Reading - W Wolves - D Derby - L Norwich - D 8 points would be hell of a return from that bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Rich Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Really important games. Going to start dictating the kind of season we likely to have come the end of that run. I think if you add the Bolton and Ipswich game to the list that'd take us to the end of September and we would have played a good balance of teams. Then we could start drawing some conclusions about where we are and if we are moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is that way Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Could be the start of another record breaking run for LJ. Let's hope not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we want to be mid table we need to be taking 5-7 points from these sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoxton casual Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 I think we will get 6 which i agree equals pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 So we are on four points from two matches. Should we revise our thinking? Are we saving the win at Molineux for the year 2031 so that being the centenary of our last win there, we could even have an open top bus tour to celebrate. But should the miracle happen and we win there on Tuesday, would it indicate a real move in the right direction? PS. I forecast we will get 9 points from these five games. Always the pessimist!

shelts Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 So pleased for the team, management and you guys . If we could get something Tuesday I'd be cock a hoop. Tight budget being off work otherwise I'd be going , same excuse for yesterday. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 The next two are super tough. I don't expect anything Tuesday. Tough team and a night game at a place we don't do well. As long as we aren't embarrassed I'm happy. Capable of a point of course just don't expect it. Derby looked strong Friday night. That said, we can play with anyone at AG. One point from those two I'd be happy enough. Then on to Norwich who I think are beatable in a Reading type way. Keep them out early and the fans may get restless and try a steal 3 points.

Keep them out early and the fans may get restless and try a steal 3 points. I agree that we'll struggle to get anything at Wolves. Still reckon we'll get a goal though. I agree with what LJ said a couple of weeks back, when we play we energy we can compete with most teams in this league. I really think we struggle to maintain our energy Sat/Tue, so hopefully this will improve throughout the season. Pisano is a big loss, and won't be available until Saturday at the earliesr (going by what LJ has said.) I'm impressed with how we dealt with the game on Saturday, one which we probably wouldn't have got anything from last year. It's actually quite nice to see a 1-0 win, a result which the whole team deserve credit for from a defensive standpoint. Manage those energy levels and we'll be just fine.

So we already acheived 'not too bad' and by beating Derby we'll be in the 'delighted' section with the gaffer dangerously close to a Pardewesque 10 year deal...

I predict at least 2 surprise wins in that group. Away at Reading (no wins in 8 years) 4-1 against Derby after being 0-1 down at HT.

Nibor Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 1.8 points per game from these. That's playoff possibly auto form, especially given the opposition. We're on a great little run but it's very early days yet so no point in getting carried away. Excellent job LJ, well done City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 A great return, but it will be slightly soured if we don't get the three points against Bolton, no disaster, but the point today will feel much better for three on Tuesday....

DOZZYBCFC Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Right, so a 'pleasing' 9 points gained from the last 5 games, extending our unbeaten run....so now on to the next 5 games: Bolton (h) Ipswich (a) Burton (h) Leeds (h) Sunderland (a) Thoughts on number of points to gain from these 5?

Has to be 3 points Tuesday. We have don’t brilliantly so far but to be a top 6 side which is where I think we can be this year, you have to find a way to break these sorts of teams down. That is what the top sides do and now it is our turn - could not be greater motivation - top 6 place by 9:40 Tuesday almost guaranteed with 3 points.

Again you'd be pleased with 9. Would continue the same rate and would see us on 18 from 10. Simple guesswork based on the table might be a win against Bolton and Burton, draws at Ipswich and Sunderland and maybe a loss to Leeds. That's 8. 9 would be excellent.

We'll get nowt at Leeds and Ipswich is an awkward place to go. A draw there to make it 8 would be a terrific performance. I'd be delighted with that.
