Trapped in my head
Voting will close before the Norwich game, but you can change yours at at anytime up until closing. Especially useful given ins/outs/injuries

If you also dare state your predictions for each game, I will put in an update after each game about who is doing well and who is out of the running.

Our home league form to date has us on 2.42 PPG
Our away league form to date has us on 1.79 PPG
If you only took that into account, our next 5 fixtures could net us 10.84 points

I'm going all in on the next 5.

Norwich (H) - W
Swansea (A) - W
Hull (H) - W
Derby (A) - W
Portsmouth (H) - W

Pts - 15

Oof ! Brave man
 
So - I think we may end up with a couple of draws, so:

Norwich (H) - W
Swansea (A) - D
Hull (H) - W
Derby (A) - D
Portsmouth (H) - W
 
If we did manage the full 15, we'd be on 67 points with 15 games remaining.

20 points from that final 15 games would definitely get us over the line (97 points) and it would only require mid-table form to get us there (1.3ppg equivalent to 61 points over a season).

You've rightly identified that it's a great block of matches, one in which we could create a safety cushion.
Get the squad in shape (injuries / transfers) and it's there for us.

Over to the new Owners!

20 points from the final 15 games would be 87 points. Might still be enough but I doubt it. Personally think 92 may be the marker.

Haha. Jesus.
What a whopper that was!

To your point, I don't see Leeds & Burnley falling away.
It will take 93ish I think.

They don’t have to fall away. We need to match them point for point and allow the match between them to give us a place in the top two.

You know what mate, I'm with you. I just think we're the team this season. I agree with the 'no games are easy' and I hate complacency, but I just fancy us for a run now. Might meet you for a beer in Wales.
 

Going in early. 13 for me. We do need to try and win as many as next 5 as we can as the 5 after are all very tough games so the next 5 could decide a lot.

Norwich (H) - W
Swansea (A) - W
Hull (H) - W
Derby (A) - D
Portsmouth (H) - W
 
I'm going for 11 points.

Don't think we'll have enough back to give full 90 for Norwich and Derby starting to pick up form and always tough at their home patch.

I'm going;

Norwich (H) - D
Swansea (A) - W
Hull (H) - W
Derby (A) - D
Portsmouth (H) - W
 
Norwich (H) - W
Swansea (A) - D
Hull (H) - W
Derby (A) - W
Portsmouth (H) - W
 
I think 15 points is definitely achievable however I’ve gone for 13 on the assumption that we’ll pick up one draw in one of the away games.
Obvious point but a good run puts immense pressure on Leeds and Burnley and it’s seems a huge opportunity.

To add to that, our match against Portsmouth is definitely going ahead now we’re both out of the cup. Hopefully our rivals will miss a league match and give us the opportunity to get points on the board and increase the pressure.
 
When's the matches ? Sunday 11am and Tuesday 9pm, seems ages since we've had a league match.
 
Totally dependent on whether we sign a good centre half and when Souza and Campbell are back. As usual our signings will be back end loaded so I expect most of the new players to miss 2 or 3 of those games

The target has to be 15pts.

I reckon there's 2 draws in there though. Norwich and Derby.
