royal_craigb Right, as we enter the final 12 games of the season it seems that our position in the table may not be as "false" as many have suggested, and we're clearly going to be in the playoff mix.
Realistically how many more points do people feel we need to accumulate to secure a playoff spot?
With the form other teams are showing I would aim for 6 wins from the 12 - taking us to 78 points, which in seasons gone by has been plenty enough to get over the line.
Where will those 6 points come from? I would target:
- Wolves (H)
- Blackburn (H)
- Rotherham (H)
- Forest (A)
- Wigan (H)
- Burton (A)
This means that any slip ups in these fixtures would mean us needing to get results from the other (arguably tougher) games.
Interested to get everyone's thoughts...
We are now getting to the business end of the season and we're all looking at where the next points are coming from. Everyone always targets the teams at the bottom for easy points...IMHO these are probably the teams you need to watch out for as these teams are fighting for their lives and almost always upset the apple cart. Give me a run in against middle of the table sides all day long, these guys generally have nothing left to play for and could make easier opponents.
