Aren't all games tough?, its going to be tough between now and seasons end whoever we play.

We are going to find out if the squad can hold their nerve and get us over the line.

Yes indeed. It's at this stage of the season where the quality of your opponent matters less than the quality of your character and mental toughness.

Tough month. I'd take 14.

Couldn't complain about 14 points, but I'd really like those 14 points to include 3 for a really decisive win over Newcastle!

I think one win from the next seven games and 4 draws, 2 defeats.
7 points.

12-14 expected, and will be happy with that especially if it includes taking points off Hudds and Toon.

*Gullsworth* · Jan 31, 2017

Hudds away.....0 points 1-3
Brentford away....0 points 0-2
Burton home.....3 points 2-0
Ipswich home....3 points 2-0
Barnsley away....1 point 1-1
Reading home.....1 point 2-2
Newcastle home...1 point 1-1
Total ......................9 points.. goals for..9...against...9

Quite a pessimistic prediction but I feel the Reading game could go either way so could Newcastle. So 69 points with 12 games remaining, still a strong position.

You are a strange one aren't you. Massively pessimistic and negative most of the time. Can't decide if you're account is a wind up or if you're generally a miserablist.

Tough month. I'd take 14.

I'd love that but I can't help but feel that it's wildly optimistic to think that we can carry on having so few losses, 12 is the most I can allow my pessimistic self to accept, it's comforting that so many of those around us are playing each other.

Given that three of our opponents are direct rivals for the two promotion spots this is indeed a massive month. I'm not too concerned about our point total for the month but the differential beween ourselves and third to be at least six points. Avoiding defeat against Hudds and Reading even if it means two draws then so be it, I'll take them.

We should be able to get 10 of the 21 points on offer, significantly more than that would be very good indeed.

Likely to be less than that by the time we next play!

SeagullofMalaysia · Jan 31, 2017

13 points, would love it to be more and coincides with a drastic loss of form for Leeds, Hudds and nasty Reading

FatSuperman · Jan 31, 2017

Third page and nobody has posted about taking it one game at a time yet. Very odd.

We should of course keep it one game at a time!

We're all taking that as a given, doesn't need to be said any more :thumbsup:

Indeed, we'll need to respond with our games in hand to re-establish the gap. Easier said than done but possible.

I thought there was something fishy about the vague descriptions of Sam Baldock's injury. 'tight calf' my arse.

Unlikely to be as good in Feb but how many do we need to maintain our position out of the 21 available ??

We did ok in Feb 2016.

Normski1989 · Jan 31, 2017

Hudds (A) 1
Brentford (A) 3
Burton (H) 3
Ipswich (H) 3
Barnsley (A) 1
Reading (H) 1
Newcastle (H) 1

Optimistically thinking we can get through the month unbeaten, picking up 13 points. But more importantly, avoiding defeat to Huddersfield, Reading and Newcastle.

Initially thought this thread was "Massive's month ahead..." :lol:

SUIYHP · Jan 31, 2017

You know what? I'm gonna predict 16. Which is optimistic, but by all means a feasible number, I'm sure most would be happy with anything between 12-14

Rugrat · Jan 31, 2017

I'm going for 12 which will be OK as I don't think any of the obvious challengers will get more. Gap maintained or maybe widened?

Ecosse Exile · Jan 31, 2017

Huddersfield (a) 1
Brentford (a) 1
Burton (h) 3
Ipswich (h) 3
Barnsley (a) 1
Reading (h) 1
Newcastle (h) 1

11 points but importantly unbeaten against our rivals.
