Right, onto the next 3 games

[strangersam]

certainly need 9 points from these games to truly recover from our poor run.
as well as this, we're going to need all the points we can get for the three consecutive away games after these.

as for the squad
- lualua definitely, weve missed him terribly
- dunk/greer
- really cant decide what our best strike partnership is, would be happy with any two tbh

 

[Hugh Jorgan]

I would be disappointed with anything less than 7 points from the next 3 games but we should be looking for 9 with 3 tough away games to follow.

 

[Stat Brother]

According to Warren A, after the game yesterday:-

"We've got 3 home games coming up and we need a MINIMUM of 9 points"

 

[Dolph Ins]

Burnley play Derby next weekend so as long as we beat Hudds we will overtake at least 1 of them.

We can't overtake both, but a draw for them would be splendid

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

The Goalie is red hot.
The defence seems sorted.
The midfield is good.
Lua lua to return and Baldock.
The key to these games is Wilson, I hope it's a temporary virus, when fit he will bang em in with the chances we can make.
Very optimistic about 9 points.
Then Bong and Rosenior to return for the run in creating lots of competition for places.
Barring any more silly injuries I think we will be ok, I am also optimistic about our very tough run in.

 

[Two Professors]

Let's hope for the full 9 points,and hope all the other promotion contenders have a crappy January.Would like to see the Goldson/Dunk partnership continue as I think Greer is beginning to struggle over 90 minutes.

 

[Easy 10]

Think I read on here yesterday, when we score first, we haven't lost this season. Is that right?

When we've scored, we haven't lost. All our defeats have been to nil.

The defence is ridiculously vulnerable to any team that decides to run straight at them. Lucky for us, most teams don't decide to do that, for whatever reason.

You can't start playing the games on paper or in your heads because that's when you lose. All games are winnable and all games losable in this league.

I had added the 3 points for a win in my head against Rotherham and look what happened there. The players went out in that game with my mentality and forgot that you have got to go out and put the effort in if you want the 3 points. To win games you have got to have the desire and mindset to win.

All I ask for is they go out in all of those games and put in the effort. If they do that then the points will follow.

This is very true. There is no piece of paper or game in the mind that would have had Bristol City beating Middlesbrough on Saturday.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Let's start this sequence off with a comfortable win tomorrow.

We are one of the teams with 10 homes, and 9 aways left, a win tomorrow looks vital.

 

[pasty]

Big one tomorrow. Wednesday don't have an easy game away at Reading, and with Burnley playing Derby on Monday, if we win tomorrow we are guaranteed to be 3rd and will only drop 1 place to 4th on Monday when they play, whatever their result.

Also got 8th (Brum) v 7th (Ipswich) tomorrow. Providing we win, I wouldn't mind a Brum win on that one.

Potentially looking a bit better with Goldson in perhaps? Vulnerable on Bruno's side all season, despite his flair going forward. Ridgewell looks good cover until Bong returns, and really looking forward to having Bong and KLL back together on the left, feeding a fit Wilson in the centre. Cautiously optimistic.

Same. Goldson is a massive asset to the side and big enough on confidence and composure to shrug off that unfortunate own goal as just one of those things. Personally I find it hard to even consider (when playing) Bong and Bruno as defenders really, they like to play that far up the pitch. It's Dunk and Greer that look seriously spooked anytime anyone runs straight at them.

 

[Marshy]

Would be staggered with 9... football never goes to plan

Absolutely delighted with 7 and would take it now if offered.

6 would not be a disaster ... anything less would be.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Good 3 points to start.

Absolutely believe we can now get 6 more off Brentford and Bolton

Yes, we can - but will we?

Marshy - jeez - we do need more than 6 points - that would be a disaster if 6 is all we get.
