Cardiff fans don't make a lot of noise at home, whereas we make a lot of noise away, so i would like us to be there. That's why I voted for the middle option.
Don't think I could stand the pressure if we had to play them twice in the last week with all that riding on it!
 

They won’t leave outstanding fixtures till the end of the season in case more matches are postponed, they will play at the earliest opportunity .

It is not an impossible leap from 35 to 47 points! (It is not as if we need to turn every single draw into a win - far from it.

The slightest hint that it will be advantageous to us... or even just a little tiny bit more convenient for us... in any way whatsoever... and I think it'll be safe to say that there is absolutely no chance of it happening!   ?

A balance between in a few weeks (if we can get some ownership issues sorted and bielik/other players back) and asap before Cardiff are allowed their own fans in the ground!

It will be at the earliest opportunity after the holiday games and the FA cup game are out of the way, just hope Wales are letting fans back in by then but I doubt it.

Interestingly, if we use total points per game so far and apply that to the remaining games it suggests 35 points. However if we use the average points per game from the last 6 games it suggests 45 points.. So if we keep scratching out a few wins we could potentially be on track to be close.. it will be interesting to see how the next 2 games go!
 

21 points is what we have been deducted ?

69 points to play for.
Can our defence get any better...I doubt it.
Can we get players in that will help in the attacking department...I really hope so.
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will tell us where we are at this week ?‍♂️
 

Average points for the team finishing 3rd bottom in the last 10 seasons is 44. Take out a couple of anomalies in that time and the average drops to 42/43
 
So every 6 games we need to W3 D1 L2 
From the end of January to early March we have 5 home games - 4 of them are against Birmingham, Hull, Peterborough & Barnsley - must wins

We have only won six games at half way stage. Five of those have been at home. We are still very poor away from home and have been almost all season. Decent draws at Fulham and West Brom, but lost to Barnsley, Birmingham  and Peterborough. We need to start winning away otherwise there will be no Great  Escape. 

Hey Ben, really enjoy watching your channel, nice to get an unbiased view on the Championship goings on.
Yesterday, Festy started right wing back with Byrne right centre back, though this changed late on in the first half with Festy switching to left wing back.
Hard to pick a team each game at the moment with the Covid goings on but I would imagine that we'll see him at left wing back again against Stoke, given Buchanan's absence and Forsyth performing much better as a left centre back these days than as a wing back.

And for any of our fans that don't know, Benjamin Bloom has an excellent unbiased YouTube channel that covers the Championship - previews, live & post match

We need to emulate WBA's form - for survival form. So a draw won't be the worst result.
But winning the next three games on the trot will be better!

Another place to look would be the player ratings after each match, as performances get discussed - but maybe easier for you to find opinions than the general match threads (I don't know how to insert links to the threads, but they should be quick to find).
He seems get the crowd going as he passes players.
Thanks for selecting Ebosele as a player to watch. I hope that you get some nice soundbites and opinions.

Sounds like your thread got marooned. Maybe it took off on the wrong vein. What a royally coloured hullabaloo. Some Cadbury's may bring the colour back to your cheeks!

I've just got an advert for the "Victoria Plum" January Sale!

Stand to be corrected, but I think...
The live mobile app is valid for 30 days, and refreshes/updates, each time you open it up.
If you download the certificate from said live app, it only remains valid for 48 hrs.
The written letter/certificate that you can send off for shows no expiry date.

You seem a bit off colour today buddy. Is plum thing wrong? 

Not more bloody puns!  Rant... Grrr... etc!
Let's just mauve along, shall we!

I feel violeted. 

Purple people! Who?

We need 12 wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats then. Well we have lost 7 in the 1st half of the season, so we have to match that in the 2nd half. Double our wins and cut down on the draws. !2 winnable games, Cardiff home and away, Reading away, Sheff Utd home, Brum home, Hull home, Peterboro home, Barnsley home, Preston home, Bristol home, Blackpool away and one other which could be a surprise/shock result. 4 draws could come from  Stoke away, Forest away, Swansea away and QPR away.
But this will only happen if we start scoring more goals, Plange, Stretton or an incoming striker in the transfer window ?                                 I think its a tall order, but not impossible, we will have to see.

At the half way point of the season, I've noticed the following;
Add the 9 points deducted for financial irregularities and we would be 23rd
or add the 12 points for going into administration, we would be 22nd
or add the 17 points lost from winning positions, we would be 19th
or add them all together and another 38 points would put us 1 point behind the top team, with a game in hand.
