when you study whats left ,cant see us having only lost 6 of the first 32 losing 7/8 of the remaining 14 games

Think we can be nearly home and dry by early April myself

Wash your mouth out! (metaphorically)

How dare you tempt the Footballing Gods?

Of those 14 games, 8 are away from home.

 

[MunXy]

yeh wash your mouth out, im expecting 14 wins
reality check i honestly believe we can win 10 of the remaining fixtures and pick up a couple of draws, tho with my blades you cant expect anything

We need 5 straight wins to break the hearts of the chasing pack.
Starting today, 10 wins and I'll say we're up.

Hate to dampen everyone's expectations but I've been to see us away from home this year at Wycombe, Orient, Stevenage, Charlton and last Sunday - 4 of our 5 defeats away from home. I am planning to go to Colchester, Brentford, MK Dons and Exeter before the season's out. So I'm afraid that 7 or 8 defeats total is quite plausible.

 

[Bladesman]

I say we are now at a stage to bribe the opposition into losing.

 

[Iceblade]

I think it would be better to bribe LoughboroBlade to not go to more away games

7/8 total wouldn't be great but it might not be terminal, wasn't BTL talking about an additional 7/8?

Don't get me wrong, 50 plus years of disappointment tell me a collap[se is quite achievable. I didn't believe we were sure of going up in 2006, even when we were 12 points ahead of Leeds and they had four games left to play.

Today should be an interesting one with no Collins in the defence.

I did warn you not to upset the Footballing Gods...

 

[SoccerCynic]

The central pairing have looked a bit fragile for some time. Another thread on here has asked why we did not replace Morgs when he was injured. I suggested this long before he was injured but it fell on deaf ears. Not sure what is available but an emergency loan looks adviseable.

 

[super_pig]

we need 7 wins.. 86 points will do it
seeing as everyone else drew, they only got a point back on us.. you're forgetting to factor in that the games are running out and the other teams will run out of time

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

This is United so we'll do it the hard way. Last match of the season we'll all be shitting ourselves and pip Huddersfield on goal difference by scoring in the 3rd minute of injury time to draw at Exeter!

After Satdi;

Final points based on season form

Charlton 105
Us 91
Udders 84
Pigs 83
MK 83

Projected points based on last 6 games

Charlton 106
Us 91
MK 82
Udders 76
Pigs 75

doesn't look too bad at the mo but a lot may change in the next week.

 

[super_pig]

if we'd gone 7 points ahead we'd have only lost focus anyway

 

[dkc Blade]

How about projected form in the last 4 games? We have not played well in any of them, but still managed to get 6 points.
