Sooty57 403 Posted February 20, 2018 Our 5 games after Wolves are Bolton, Barnsley, Forest, Hull & Reading - all currently below us, and all beatable. Is it too much to hope that we could take a haul of 15 points from those matches? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted February 20, 2018 The predictions most people gave for the last 5 games proved to be somewhat amiss, having been all doom-and-gloom, so perhaps we should just take it one game at a time. This side has proven that it is more than capable of going on a good run against the top sides, but the opposite is equally true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 20, 2018 @capricorn1 We will probably beat Wolves and fail to beat Bolton more like!In all seriousness though, if we can do the unthinkable tomorrow night, coupled with Fulham beating Bristol City, we would be 2 points off 6th place if we beat Bolton. The carrot is still there, but we need some consistency at home massively, especially given our last 4 home games Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we do win the next two games then I''d happily retract my ''season over'' claim, but I just can''t see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogue Baboon 0 Posted February 20, 2018 Of course, I wouldn''t expect all other teams to drop points either, but if we suddenly jump from 8 points off where we seem to have been for about 5 months now) to 4points off it suddenly comes back into play. Of course its wishful thinking, but surely thats what being a fan is all about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ROBFLECK 132 Posted February 20, 2018 It''s the hope that kills you! I try to take it one at the time...but to be fair, I can''t see us going on a 5 game winning run without a striker that''s scoring goals... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We could even be dropping to 14th if Millwall win, even if we won 5 on the bounce after Wolves, which looking at our form this season we wont do, we likely would still be a few points short of 6th.

Van wink 2,994 Posted February 20, 2018 Surprised to see Millwall above us looking at the table tonight, they are on a great run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted February 20, 2018 And there we are, not just 8 points but 8 positions from 6th. Just wish fans would just try and enjoy the run in and look at more realistic targets, like getting above Town. Also see what DF can do to make us more goal threatening to.
