bissellredhead Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 9 points from the first 5 games - safe to say that's a great return and above all our expectations. looking at the next 5 league fixtures what do we expect to gain points wise? Rotherham (a) W Sheff Weds (a) L Derby (h) D Fulham (a) D Leeds (h) W I would be happy with 8 points from the next 5 games, obviously some of it will depend on incomings/outgoings. That'll make 17 points from the first 10 games - quite a solid start. Happy to be proved wrong and we win all 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I can see 3 wins from that lot! I think that's too. Leeds well, say no more! Derby have made a poor start and so have Rotherham. Fulham is the only team I wouldn't be confident against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 No reason we can't get something at Wednesday. They don't seem as decent as last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 After a good win, I look at the next few fixtures and think we can win the lot. Lose a couple and I cannot see where our next win is coming from. We have to go in to the Rotherham game looking to win. Never works out quite that way, but on current form you would hope so. Fulham started well, but the others have started pretty poorly. Derby and Sheffield Wed particularly against their own aspirations. 7-9 points would be decent, and should see us well enough placed.

Lrrr Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Rotherham (A) - W Sheffield Wednesday (A) - W Derby (H) - L Fulham (A) - L Leeds (H) - W Another 9 points so would be 18 from 10, 72 from 40 at that rate so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit the Frog Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 win at home draw away = 9 points from 15. Doable IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time for everything I suppose. Although I'm sure I remember us beating them in a League Cup game about 20 years ago. It must have been over two legs because I think we won 2-1 but went out. I was just a kid and don't recall who scored but I remember Hasselbaink being sent off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dastardly and Muttley Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'll tell you when the deadline closes! Think we have a great chance of 10-13 points from those games if we keep Flint and sign a good striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeAman08 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Games aren't really getting much easier are they? Rotherham and Leeds the only ones I fancy full point returns on. I'd take 2 wins 2 draws and a loss. Though this is why i like the one game at a time approach. Feel confident beating Rotherham. Depending on results could feel the same about SW. Then if we do well the same about Derby and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reformed_red Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Rotherham is must win. (I know at this stage of the season etc.etc....), but we need to be winning against the teams that you'd think will struggle. Shelf Weds - happy with a draw, but could win it. Be disappointed to lose. Derby - think they will have settled by then, so will be a tough game. On starting form, we should be strong enough, but I can see them beating us to be fair Fulham - lose. (But beat them in the cup a few days before hand...) Leeds - under the lights, first home game midweek....city 5-0 Leeds, Ayling o.g. and red card. 7 - 9 points, (possible 18 in total) not a bad return going into October.

Northern Red Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Derby and Wednesday are better than they've shown so far. Fulham probably aren't going to be as consistently good as they've been so far. Surely we're due a result against Leeds though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Beat Rotherham and I think we`re capable of a point at Wednesday. Lose to Fulham and beat one of Leeds or Derby and draw the other so 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotherham always tough at home... wouldn't be a shock losing there.Leeds n Derby at home,both very winnable.. would be happy with 7 points from the next 5 games.would represent a very solid start.

Bar BS3 Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 It's hard to see more than 8 points from those 5 games but who knows. If we hit top form then 12 wouldn't be impossible. I can't see us getting anything away in Sheffield. Need to win at Rotherham to get the ball rolling, otherwise it could be 0-2 points from the 5. The Championship really is impossible to predict!

We`re just as likely to let in four at Rotherham and beat Wednesday as the other way round. Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamalagerdrinker Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Derby & Sheffield Wednesday are the only game I'm 'worried' about will be nice to see how far we've come since last season though against all of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
