king canary 8,758 Posted January 2, 2017 The next 5 games all look pretty winable- Rotherham away, Wolves abd Birmingham at home then Wigan and Cardiff away.Neil has the perfect chance to win the crowd back round with some similar performances to today- 12 points from those games is a decent target surely?

Drazen Muzinic 1,502 Posted January 2, 2017 If we are to have any chance of a tilt at the play-offs, we have to start picking up points quickly and these games could be the catalyst.As I see it, we have 21 matches left and would need to win 18 of those for an automatic (and Newcastle & Brighton would need to balls it up as well).If we can pick up 14-15 wins and a sprinkling of draws, the lottery could be ours to win!

Bill 1,788 Posted January 2, 2017 I think you maybe setting it a bit high75 points is often considered the target to get into the playoffswhich would be 12 wins and a couple of drawshowever at this stage every game has to be seen as winnableand the next five will need to be, as said above, a good points total because if we can''t get points there then we ain''t gorna make it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr footy 36 Posted January 2, 2017 The squad is not good enough to win league, the team is good enough to win some games in this league, there is difference, so therfore play offs are still a target. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
