Minster Canary 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Just had a look at the fixture list, our next eight games see us playing at Carrow Road five times, which obviously is to our advantage. However, such is the difficulty of these game that I can only see us picking up 10 points in total from these 8 games. I know we are third, and we''re playing some cracking football, and I suppose my prediction is based on the Norwich of the past, not Lambo-era - but I think this could be one of the tougher run of games this season.So my predictions are as follows:Crystal Palace (H) WINMiddlesbrough (H) DRAWCardiff (A) LOSEBurnley (H) DRAWMillwall (A) LOSEReading (A) DRAWLeeds (H) WINIpswich (H) DRAWAnyone have a different opinion? I''m interested to know what the general consensus is, because looking at that I really feel as if I should have more faith given our start to the season!

ricardo 7,239 Posted October 18, 2010 Under 10 points will be disappointing.Over 14 will be on course for a top 6 finish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,290 Posted October 18, 2010 I will be very disappointed if we don''t pick up at least 8 points from the 5 home games and think 9 points from those games ought to be easily achievable if we play to our potential.I also think we will win at one of Millwall, Reading and Cardiff. The latter is clearly the hardest of the games but we are capable of winning at any of them on our day.I predict 13 points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Would 14 points out of 24, really be play-off form? I suppose it could be, but it seems a bit low.Our last 8 games, we have 14 points, seems like we should have more than that... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yobocop 1,083 Posted October 18, 2010 2 points a game is promotion form i.e. 46 = 92 so in answer to your question yes 14 points out of 24 would be playoff form Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alysha 0 Posted October 18, 2010 I''m slightly concerned about the Crystal Palace game as its probable that we will have two different defenders in the line up which could make us more vulnerable at the back than usual..saying that I''m glad Ward has got his suspension now rather than late October/November, and hopefully Drury won''t be out for long; but back to the question...we should be looking to win all of our home games with the odd draw if we are serious about promotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''m sure that''d be enough for the play-offs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanaryJames 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Crystal Palace (H) WINMiddlesbrough (H) WINCardiff (A) WINBurnley (H) DRAWMillwall (A) WINReading (A) DRAWLeeds (H) WINIpswich (H) WINOptimistic it may be, but after the last couple of away matches I honestly think we are more than capable of beating any team in the division away from home. This combined with the fact I actually feel more confident away than at home for once! Cardiff are reliant on 3 or 4 players...we''ve got a team. Keep the individuals quiet, and we can get a win there...Leeds, Palace & Middlesborough look set to be also-rans. At home, we simply must beat them. Burnley and Ipswich should be tougher in theory, but I''m confident of 3 points against the latter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boyo 0 Posted October 18, 2010 Palace (H) winBoro (H) winCardiff (A) loseBurnley (H) drawMillwall (A) loseReading (A) loseLeeds (H) winIpswich (H) win13 points from 24 is okay-ish I suppose. How I have done this is what I think is realistic and probably looking at it with my glass half empty. It''s a tough run but I think we are capable of winning a lot but also dropping a few points. As the thread title says it could shape our season. From these games we will find out if we really are a good team or if we have just had a good start.
