[William Henry Foulkes]

I can't see us getting any points at Old Trafford

 

[stringjunior]

8 points. Win the home games, draws at Blackpool and Bury, lose at Colchester

Any small glimmers of optimism seeping in to the fans boots gets smashed out of sight as the team under perform, the board can't even stretch themselves to under perform, and Walsall and Gillingham pull 4 points clear of Burton in 3rd.

 

[UnitedBlade]

We now have Wigan on the 12th, so 6 league games.

Four away from home. Be great for the rest of the season if we have a good month.

Couple of deserved wins under our belt and here we go again tempting fate . Boring cliche but one game at a time. Think Adkins would agree with this .

UTB

 

[Fozzy_Blade]

All winable games in the league you would think, maybe a draw against Peterborough and Wigan. Other than that we should get some momentum going.

Damn. I was just going to predict 18points for the month as well.

 

[biggey blade]

Hopefully keep it up winning Peterbrough Colchester swindon and Blackpool, drawing bury and loosing Wigan possibly, anything better would be nice. So hopefully 13 points. Not wanting to curse it.

 

[Superblades]

Peterborough, Colchester & Swindon - win

Wigan, Blackpool & Bury - lose

Hope we get more than 9 points tho.

 

[Silent Blade]

Damn. I was just going to predict 18points for the month as well.

Now possible since the Wigan away game has been re-arranged for the 12th

 

[MobileBlade]

We will need 14 points from 18 if we are going for automatics.

 

[Blade58]

Above else, that many games during Jan, we need some luck

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

What??!

You knew some twat was gonna do it...

If we are aiming for the top places, we need to win all these games, and if we play like anything close to what we have this month then we will win all of these

 

[blade too long]

Ive gone 6 to 10 as the fourth round fa cup match will postpone one of the games
ie 3 wins 1 draw

 

[Kenilworth]

I can't see us getting any points at Old Trafford

Oh yes we will

Don't be so bloody negative WHF






Loads of brownie points

 

[Blade82]

Surely the Wigan game would have been better rescheduled for Feb as we have no midweek games. We now have 7 games in 28 days, possibly 8 games if we get a draw in the cup.

Indeed, but it's not our choice...

 

[Rollerball]

From 6 games we should be looking at 12+ points to at least sty in contention any more than that is a nice bonus.
So I'll say 15 points from January then after 4th round of FA CUP kick on and reel in top 2.

[judge]

Just hoping the cup game (s) dont derail our season again like last couple of years

 

[SUFC Guy]

15 points are in the bag with a hard fought 1-0 victory at Old Trafford

Anything less is a catastrophe

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

A Bladeacoaster January

 

[HighfieldBlade]

I voted for grammar school 11+.

[Bladebri]

We will be top 2 come February

do we have any input being the away team or do Wigan take the lead on it ? They plan on the Thursday before too meaning an extra couple of days rest.

 

[Jehovah]

I remember the last time we predicted how many points we would get when we had Colchester and Bury coming up.

It's league policy. You play the first realistically available date.

We'll be alright, mate, we're only playing Man Utd the Saturday before

Strange that clubs can't agree between themselves. Rochdale v Crewe which should have been played on Boxing Day has been scheduled for Feb. The bury v Barnsley one hasn't been scheduled at all yet. it probably gives Wigan the edge but we're winning games so keep them coming I suppose and fear nobody.

Grew up in the 70s but looking at that (and just about anything else from that time) can't help thinking, "The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."

In fact it's not just a foreign country, it's a different planet.
