I'd be surprised and very happy if we get through it unbeaten like some are suggesting Ha, at least we're not all riding the optimism bus. To be fair even if we got five from the next five that will mean 15 from the last 10. 1.5 ppg isn't awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUTOR Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Johnson is evidently learning fast and has come up against Warnock a couple of times now, I think he might out smart him. Winning the tactical battle will lead us to the win but that's down to the discipline of the players against the inevitable bullshit of a Neil Warnock side.

BCFC Rich Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Boro (h) - D Sheff U (a) - L Forest (h) - W QPR (a) - D Reading (h) -W Those are my guesses. But the thing is, in this league there is never an easy group of fixtures. There are good reasons to suggest we can beat any one of those teams and also good reasons to suggest any one of them might get a result against us. So really keeping with what I said before: 6 or less - poor 7 - passable 9 -good 10-12 - very good 12+ - incredible. If anyone can beat anyone in this league it doesn't really matter who the points come against so if we keep hitting the Very good/incredible mark I'll be more than happy.

Forest - D - Not a bad side but if they bank up the midfield, again we will struggle to penetrate. QPR - D - I have literally no thoughts on this one, so a draw. Reading - W - having a poor season so far and feel we will have to much pace for them. 9/15 - Boom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustratingly I've missed the first of the "next five"...so maybe let's ignore that disappointing result and just focus on the next five. Tough to call with the cup games as well, however by the end of these five we should have Pisano, Diedhou and COD back, as well as Engvall and whoever we sign in January, so if we can hold it together against Villa and Norwich then I think we'll come good at the end. Villa (a) - W - bouncing back as we've done previously. Norwich (h) - D - think we'll be suffering after a knackering night at the Etihad. Norwich are poor but we could slip up here. Derby (a) - D - really tough game, very hard to call. Very much sitting on the fence with this one. QPR (h) - W - with injuries abating we've a stronger squad by this point. Bolton (a) - W - full strength by this point. Bug win to set us up for the beginning of the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
