If we can come out of these still within 6 points of the playoffs that would be a great platform to maybe make a late charge. We lose them all and then it's another season of mediocrity confirmed. The optimist in me says that 5 points out of this lot would be a good outcome but it will be a very tough ask; especially the next two. 7 points in the end when it really should have been 9. Funny old game football Now let’s see how we do against teams below us in the league. Could be an exciting end to the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It often doesn't work like that, especially in the Championship. And it does seem to suit us better playing against opposition who are on paper superior and play with more intent to win. When we beat Middlesborough earlier in the season, they were on a run of 1 defeat in 12 at the time. Permission to feel smug sir?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Credit to LM and everyone involved. Arguably should have been 9 too. Win the next two and …………..,no I’m not going to say it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozo Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 (edited) We've now got an extra day rest over QPR, who have to travel to Stoke and back tomorrow, then across here on Saturday. Nothing stopping us getting a third w.... actually I won't say it... Edited February 13 by mozo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 Well. I said I’d take 4 with a consistent improvement in performance. We got 7 with the following: - 1 x very poor (Leeds) - 1 x Curates egg that I saw (Cov) and 1 x Curates egg that I didn’t (Boro) - 1 x superb (Southampton) Avoiding recency bias (not getting too high etc) then it’s a very good haul from a mixed bag of performances. So points have exceeded expectations but performance (on a consistent basis) probably hasn’t. However, of the last 180 minutes I think the consensus would be that we’ve been very good for 135 so the trajectory is definitely the right way…! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kibs Posted February 13 Report Share Posted February 13 The Championship is just absolutely mental isn’t it It’s why I just didn’t get it when people were going mental after the draws away at QPR and Huddersfield… Year after year we see a league which the top few aside, there is barely anything between the rest. We could quite conceivably not win any of our next 2 and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit!!! It’s impossible to predict where your points are coming from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
