Padlad Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 If we can keep the run going and beat Stoke on Saturday we will mostly be right up there. When you look at the other fixtures, most of the top half are playing each other. A win would mostly likely see us into the playoffs and possibly only a couple points of top. The division is super close this season and no one seems able to escape the chasing pack.

bcfc01 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I'm not sure we can reach a playoff position by winning this weekend but could be 7th or 8th and two points off the top looking at the fixtures and using this calculator; https://www.worldfootball.net/table_calculator/eng-championship/ If we lose, 11th place possibly and still only five or six points off the top maybe. A draw wouldn't be too bad considering the last two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I want us to win every game of course but I’d have been delighted with 6 points from this run of 3 games. So it’s nice to have it in the bag so to speak, before Saturday. 9 points would be a really superb return from 3 tricky games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course we can, we win and either West Brom or Derby lose or Norwich draw or lose, we are in a play-off position. Depending on those results, the only possible way we wont then be in a play-off spot will be by goal difference if Forest win at Leeds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red7 Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 I think every day of the week is a good day to win I hope we adopt a more attacking mindset for this game, and that LJ and the players don't just approach it as a game we "mustn't lose", which is the feeling I got on Wednesday, although we ended up with a welcome win then.

cityexile Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Not going to be easy, no game is. Recent form is as good a guide as league position, and other than losing to Birmingham 1-0, Stokes recent form is improving, last two away a draw at Sheff Utd and a win at Norwich, so they will be confident they are heading the right way. We maybe have been lucky catching teams recently at the right time...Brentford and Hull both no win in five, and Sheff Wed just the one win in the last five...against us. Of course we can win, but like the last few games can see it being a bit of a toss up on the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 If we attack Stoke too hard they have the quality in their team to punish us. I do wonder whether this game requires a little more caution then the last two. I do think that Weimann and Taylor do have the ability to unsettle defences and Fam may be a better impact substitute as I'm not sure he has 90 minutes of effort or energy in him. I always expect 3 points from home games and at least 1 point from away games but you don't always get what you want do you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we can win, but like the last few games can see it being a bit of a toss up on the day. I’ve all but given up trying to predict results this season. There is so little between so many teams. We’ve beaten teams above us, lost to teams below us, not won games everyone expected us to win and not lost games everyone expected us to lose. I think this season more than ever, it’s going to be up and down the whole time. The question is simply whether we can have enough ups to keep us in the play off hunt.
