Tuesday fixtures

BensGrandad · Feb 12, 2017

Norwich v Newcastle
Reading v Brentford

The rest seem easy wins for the chasing pack so we must win what I consider could be a 'banana skin' game as per last season.

Norwich are on a roll and I'd be surprised if they don't take all 3. Brentford could nick a point. 3 points for the rest

win our games don't give a monkeys about anyone else

BensGrandad · Feb 12, 2017

That is my view as regards Norwich and Brentford so 3 for us are essential and we just keep winning out games, 12 more by the end of Feb please.

Very stupid view as we will NOT win all of our games.

It's quite a simple formula.

If the squad performs better over 46 games than 22 other teams then we will go up automatically!

Yes - but I would have said this for Leeds yesterday!

Going to be interesting to see what impact, if any, Huddersfield's upcoming FA Cup game vs Man City has in the short-term.

Your "simple" formula is flawed - Performance counts for nowt in this game = it's points that make prizes .....
As we have seen on many an occasion, performing better than you opponents doesn't always return with 3 points

Maybe not on a game by game basis, but over the course of 46 games I would argue that better performances gain you the points advantage over lesser performing teams below you.

Agreed. Looking at it from the outside, it has worked well for us. Huddersfield play on Saturday, a game they probably can't make too many changes for. Then on the Tuesday they play, Reading who will have had extra time off before the match. As a result of that match, Reading have less time off for our home game against them.

Of course, that means nothing in the Championship but hopefully it will benefit us.

Easy definite win for Huddersfield on Tuesday, so we need the 3 points as well.

Of course we won't, but we do need to aspire to. Besides which it's no good worrying about other results, sod all we can do about other teams anyway. We have to concentrate on ourselves.

BensGrandad · Feb 12, 2017

Our results are the crunch but others may help.

But then surely by your reckoning neither will the others. Or are you only pessimistic about the albion?

Just saying it's stupid not to worry about others.

What happened to there are no easy games in the Championship.

I would have thought that the key is just to concentrate on our next game and not to get drawn into what the chasing teams will do or not do. We can only control our own results and ensure that we do all we can to secure 3 points.

Promotion will not be won or lost on Tuesday night, but we can take one further step towards promotion with a win.

Spot on. There's not point worrying about other results, although obviously as fans that will be difficult.

If we get 90-92 points we will go up. That means concentrating on ourselves.

Huddersfield are the form team, but they will have a dip like everyone else.

That's good to know. Kind of makes up for Brentford having 48 hrs extra prep/rest time than us thanks to Sky moving the Hudds game.
