I have a feeling we'll drop points on Saturday. Hopefully bring a draw home though.
Coventry & Blackpool games look very tough, infact all the aways do.
Boro will definitely beat us

The bottom 3 will be Reading, Peterborough and Barnsley.
Hull upwards are too far infront. No way Derby can claw 13points back in 13 games

Some banana skin looking games there but keep the current spirit going and with a bit more luck with injuries we should be OK for the play-offs.
Over the past 7 seasons an average of 75 points secures 6th place, (lowest 70, highest 80) so 7 wins and a draw from those 14 should do it.
Autos are probably out of the question for anyone still dreaming.....over the past 7 seasons an average of 89 points secures 2nd place, (lowest 83, highest 91) so we would need to win 12 of the last 14 to reach that tally.......that said, it may well be a low points year for the runner up this season with Bornmuff currently only 5 points ahead of us, (albeit with 2 games in hand).....we do still have to play them though along with QPR & Fulham from the current top 6.

The next 3 will shape our run in. It's either going to be an assault on the top 2 or the top 6, anything less than 7 points and I feel it's play offs at best.
Don't rule us out if we manage that. Bournemouth are shaky, and are only where they are because of their incredible start.

22 points from remaining fixtures.
75 points total.
Comfortably within the play-offs, probably finish around 5th.
I'm expecting the fixture pile-up to start taking a toll on our thin squad.

Dare I say it the next 3 are MASSIVE, I’m just hoping the defence will hold up and that we don’t start rotating the front again…

I think the Blackburn game has taken a lot out of us and our injuries are already mounting up and I expect this to contribute.
A really tough set of fixtures in the next fortnight. I'd be delighted with 5 points and no home losses to our play-off rivals.

A lot of "six-pointers" in that list, but I'm actually relishing the chance to take points off our rivals rather than wishing we had an easier run-in. I actually back us and I've not felt this way for while. It's like my mom used to say when there was a big spider in the room..."they're more scared of you, than you are of them". Be scared little spiders!

I heard somewhere that in the run-in the easiest teams to face are the midtable with nothing to play for (stands to reason but apparently it's been statistically proven). Millwall, stoke, blackpool , bris city, cardiff fit into that bracket, and it's possible Reading will too if they're safe when we play them (though I think Derby will probably catch them).
EDIT - presumably already relegated sides are even easierto play against? hmm

Next 3 games are massive.
7 points from them and we’re almost certainly nailed on for play offs.
Catching Bournemouth is still unlikely however with the amount of fixtures they’ve got to fit in, injuries and fitness may have an impact on them.
Fingers crossed

On the move
Fulham should be home and dry by then. Hopefully their players' thoughts will be on the beach.

They have a huge squad after the January window and don't have that many injuries. Whereas we have about 14/15 fit available first team players at the moment. So yeah we'll catch them cunts no problem.
