Thierry Ennui Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm not convinced any other team will challenge, and in my opinion the top 3 is to stay. Here are the run-ins. After predicting Middlesbrough to come top I've seen their last 9 games and have now revised my opinion to 'I-don't-have-a-clue-anymore': Bournemouth Huddersfield (h) Brentford (a) Nottm Forest (a) Blackburn (h) Wolves (h) Fulham (a) Blackpool (h) Cardiff (a) Middlesbrough (h) Ipswich (a) Birmingham (h) Brighton (a) Reading (a) Sheff Wed (h) Bolton (h) Charlton (a) Derby Rotherham (a) Sheff Wed (h) Charlton (h) Fulham (a) Brighton (a) Birmingham (h) Norwich (a) Middlesborough (h) Wolves (a) Watford (h) Wigan (a) Brentford (h) Blackpool (h) Huddersfield (a) Milwall (a) Reading (h) Middlesbrough Birmingham (a) Leeds (h) Bolton (h) Sheff Weds (a) Millwall (h) Nottm Forest (a) Ipswich (h) Derby (a) Bournemouth (a) Wigan (h) Watford (a) Rotherham (h) Wolves (h) Norwich (a) Fulham (a) Brighton (h) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randombc Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Looking down those list of fixtures it's hard to pick out which games any of the 3 teams are going to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 They are both away last game, we are at home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMalicious Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 They are both away last game, we are at home Yes we are at home against a team that we will have played at least 3 times this season before then.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Wigan could have a say as it looks like both us and Boro play them around the same time, at which point they could easily be scrapping for their lives.......... Or alternatively, both Boro and Bournemouth have yet to play Forest at their dump, who only need the 6 points to be sure of lifting the title......

Guest Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Our fixtures are so much easier, wow. Boro have a nightmare run in. Very pleased! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I've studied the fixtures, compared upcoming games for all 3 clubs to relevant, like for like games from last season plus factored in results against teams in the corresponding fixture this season. It works out as going to be fooooooooking exciting! Its great! League Champions and FA Cup Double - at worst! COYR................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think it's way too soon to be able to glean any meaningful information with 16 fixtures left. The form of and personnel available to those teams we have left to play could alter drastically over the next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Norwich (a) Middlesborough (h) Wolves (a) Watford (h) Wigan (a) Brentford (h) Thats an extremely tough run of games for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Boro play: Ipswich (h) Derby (a) Bournemouth (a) All in the space of a week. If things remain roughly the same as now, this will be the deciding week. Our toughest games are Norwich, Boro, Wolves, Watford and Brentford. Only Norwich and Wolves are away. Norwich will be tough, but we tore Wolves apart last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomsdubs Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Last 5 games is harder for Boro, pretty good for us and Ballmouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Just double checked everything but unfortunately I can't edit my post anymore. As above, Wolves should be home for Bournemouth and not away. Secondly, I missed Middlesbrough's final game which needs tagging onto the end, Brighton (h) I won't be quitting my day job anytime soon. (Fortunately I don't copy things for a living) *gets coat* edit - thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Pretty sure I was at our game away to Wolves earlier this season. Think you have that wrong. Yep you had a lucky win against 10 men :-) , sorry 9 men :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Bournemouth Huddersfield (h) Brentford (a) Nottm Forest (a) Blackburn (h) Wolves (a) Fulham (a) Blackpool (h) Cardiff (a) Middlesbrough (h) Ipswich (a) Birmingham (h) Brighton (a) Reading (a) Sheff Wed (h) Bolton (h) Charlton (a) Derby Rotherham (a) Sheff Wed (h) Charlton (h) Fulham (a) Brighton (a) Birmingham (h) Norwich (a) Middlesborough (h) Wolves (a) Watford (h) Wigan (a) Brentford (h) Blackpool (h) Huddersfield (a) Milwall (a) Reading (h) Middlesbrough Birmingham (a) Leeds (h) Bolton (h) Sheff Weds (a) Millwall (h) Nottm Forest (a) Ipswich (h) Derby (a) Bournemouth (a) Wigan (h) Watford (a) Rotherham (h) Wolves (h) Norwich (a) Fulham (a) The fixtures in blue are teams in the top half. The fixtures in bold shows our set of games will be the biggest test in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovis aries Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We have a better record against teams in the top half of the table than we do against teams at the bottom.Of course there may have been variations at the time we played them, but I believe Stattos table is for where teams stand now .

Uptherams Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 We have two new goal threats with Ince and Bent. Thorne is to come back, Russell too. Lingard is another untested option. While no one can deny that both Hendrick and Bryson have not been up to scratch. We only need one of them to hit form again. Dawkins head will be on the pitch again soon. Why should we worry?

inter politics Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 The next 6 games: Rotherham (a) Sheff Wed (h) Charlton (h) Fulham (a) Brighton (a) Birmingham (h) It's vital we take advantage of these and get at least 13/14 points (out of 18) before the next more difficult run of matches.

BournemouthFaninPeace Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Yep you had a lucky win against 10 men :-) , sorry 9 men :-) lol We've had two wins against teams who have had a man sent of which has then been rescinded. the rest were deserved. We still tore them a new one with or without the sending off. You had a lucky win at home against us when we had 10 men, what with our keeper being sent off for a hand ball outside the area. I'm getting a sense of deja vu ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
