Orlandi says we need 11 wins from remaining games which must be about right. Which of the games can we win? I have put a * next to the ones I think most likely. Note that my final (and therefore most difficult choice was the Palace game

Hull (h)
Blackburn (h) *
Cardiff (a)
Burnley (h) *

Huddersfield (h) *
Bristol city (a) *
Bolton (a)
Barnsley (a) *
Crystal Palace (h) *
Notts Forest (a) *

Charlton (h) *
Leicester (h)
Middlesborough (a)
Peterborough (a) *
Blackpool (h) *
Leeds (a)

Wolves (h) *

I did the same exercise earlier. Couldn't get us to 11. Can't see us beating palace or burnley plus forest and Blackpool might have had a kick up since appointing new mgrs. Although chances are forest may have sacked another one by the time play them!

We've beaten Leicester before at the AMEX, can't see why we can't do it again.

We will only get the 11 wins by changing the style of play with an orthodox 4-4-2 and a faster , accurate passing game.

I don't think we'll need eleven wins personally.
W 9 D 4 L 4 would give us 73 points and I think that this could be enough for 6th place and achievable.

I'd almost agree with this - think we can only afford three defeats, leaving 9 wins and 5 draws.

5 losses, 7 wins and 5 draws so 26 points to add to make 68 in total, but I could be wrong.???

We wont get eleven wins because we'll chuck too many points away by defending too deep when winning and concede stupid last minute equalizers.

We CAN win all the home games and pick up a good few points away from home too. The question really is will we?

Those are the only I am confident we can win, obviosley we're capable of winning all of those but some of the games I don't think we will.

Ive got us down for 11, controversially not including Palace at home either.

Managing to get a win away to Cardiff in a couple of weeks would be a huge result too.
