Chris Mills Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I agree it would seem likely, we'd have 88 points which would probably be enough this season but firstly we have to beat Watford, arguably our toughest remaining test of the season the back of 2 draws and 4 defeats in our last six. Plus five wins for Bournemouth would guarantee them above us. Five wins & a draw for Boro would do the same. Looking at Bournemouth's fixtures I can definitely see them getting five wins. Middlesbrough is possible. We'd have to win all 7 first anyway which is something we haven't done this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If we got 18 points from the last possible 21, we'd finish on the same points total as last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idiakez Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Considering we haven't won more than 3 in a row all season (I think?), I'd say it's highly unlikely we're going to go on to win our next seven, although stranger things have happened and I remain optimistic.Anyway, I expect us to revert back to the 433, as I can't see us playing without a holding midfielder against one of the best attacking sides in the division, assuming Thorne is fit. My guess is:Grant, Christie, Keogh, Albentosa, Forsyth; Thorne, Hughes, Bryson (was excellent vs Wolves); Ince, Russell, Bent. The silence on Martin suggests to me we might have to wait a little while longer until he's back, although that may just be me being paranoid. Hopefully he's at least on the bench as I believe he's our best player and we need him to play to our max potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramshankered Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 We usually do ok against Watford so I'm feeling pretty confident for this one - especially with Martin and Thorne up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 If Martin & Thorne aren't back and properly fit: Zero chance of getting the wins we need. Derby draw/lose this one.If they are: Very slim chance unless several other players suddenly regain their lost form & confidence as well. Those two are key performers obviously but there are several weak links at the moment. Derby draw/win this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Martin and Thorne to be "nearly" and "maybe" until the team's announced and their not even on the bench,we huff and puff and come out with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
