Derby (A), Stoke (H), Wigan (H), Forest (A), Pigs (H), Rotherham (A), Brentford (A).

I wonder what we'll get from that lot. :cool:

We should be looking at a minimum of 10 points, as a worst case scenario.

Derby: 1pt
Stoke: 1pt
Wigan: 3 pts
Forest 1 pt
Pigs: 1 pt
Toy town: 3 pts
Brentford: 0 pt

Derby - WIN looking at recent results they aren’t that good
Stoke -WIN
Wigan -WIN
Forest- DRAW
Pigs- WIN with the most dubious penalty of the season just to annoy them even more
Millers- WIN... decent at home but so are we away
Brentford - DRAW would be a decent result
17 points out of 21
Onwards and upwards :)
 
Rather than looking at those fixtures as a group, we would be a lot better served just taking each game as it comes, and just trying to play well and keep the results stacking up.

Derby away is where my attentions are focussed, I’d be happy with a point there as it will be a tough, tough game.

I'd be a very happy bunny if that set of results transpired.

I'm thinking 11 or 12 points in that run. 3 wins, 2 or 3 draws, and a defeat. The latter best not be against the Pigs or Millers though.

A tough period after our amazingly easy start, scraping results against shit sides (paraphrase S6)

Derby - 3 points or 0 points (can't decide)
Stoke - 1 point
Wigan - 3 points
Forest - 3 points
Pigs - No prediction
Rotherham - 3 points
Brentford - 1 point

I’ve got total faith in the team at the moment. They are all difficult games but all very winnable. The pig game is the hardest of the home games as they will look to stifle us but will pose us far greater problems than Hull.
Our away form is tremendous as the onus is on the home side to come at us. The pressure will be all on Derby and Lampard. I think this could be the live game that people sit up and really take notice of us.... if they haven’t already
 
None of these fixtures any tougher than the ones we've played already.
With the right frame of mind, positive mental attitude, they are all winnable.
 



Every game in this league is tough, just take them one at a time.

But seen as though we are predicting...

Think we will beat Derby, Wigan [who can't buy a point away from home] and Rotherham. Brentford will be harder, as will Forest and Stoke who are both picking up now. As for the Pigs, well they are a much team on paper, so they keep telling us, so I expect a tonking :rolleyes:
 
Derby draw 1-1 mcgoldrick pen
Stoke win 2-1 mcgoldrick 2 pens
Wigan win 1-0 mcgoldrick pen
Forest draw 0-0 mcgoldrick missed pen
Pigs draw 1-1 sharp pen after mcgoldrick missed 3
Toy town win 3-1 sharp hat trick (3 pens)
Brentford lose 2-0
 
Aren't you all forgetting it is Frank Lampard's Derby that makes it even harder.
 
Well I think it's actually "THREE FUCKING POINTS" so there!
 
The hard work started on day one and will continue until day 46. Fixtures are not divided into little boxes of games. They are consecutive and continuous. Each team plays every other team home and away and we see who’s best at the end of the process.

Nobody knows which fixtures are hard and which aren’t until the games are played. Aston Villa?

Yep, that
 
Now the hard work really starts is indeed true, not just because of the fixtures but because we are top,

Day 1? Day 46? What the fuck happened to them being football matches? Or did you take a trip to Trumpland? Yeehaaa, grab that pussy.

Is that any harder than what we've just had ? Don't let the pigs get to you Millwall and Blackburn away is as tough as any of those.

From what I've seen today we're only playing non league opposition.

That’s a slightly over-simplistic assessment – in reality, there are all sorts of factors that can impact the relative difficulty of a fixture. You could take this week as an example – had the fixtures been reversed, you would imagine we might have had a much bigger win vs Hull on the Saturday, got a similar win on the Wednesday, and then headed to Millwall with fatigue in the side from the midweek trip and perhaps not picked up 3 points as a result. Similarly, a team facing Hull at home in March might have a much tougher game in the event that they’ve binned Adkins and picked up in form. There is always an element of luck to what happens in some of football, and benefiting from events you have no control over as a club (like a fixture list that turns out to be favourable) is one aspect of that. Of course how those fixtures are then managed is something in the club’s control, and was done to excellent effect by Wilder this week.

As I've said, I'll have waited until that weekends' fixtures have been played (by the time that all the fixtures had been played, we were second). I don't do 'snapshots' to suit, like Wednesday do. They'll be clogging Radio Sheffield for the next two weeks, unbelieving that they're - somehow - in sixth place. The value of jammy bastards can go down as well as up.
