They could be right in the mire soon as they are only a couple of points ahead of the drop zone, so I will expect them to be concentrating on the league and field a weaker side against us. I agree, also the next round is when the champions league restarts, which they are bound to prioritise. I could be reading too much into this but.10/5 quid tickets is either very generous or perhaps a reflection of the quality they intend to put on show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highgate Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 3 hours ago, RadioactiveWaste said: Five points, out of the cup. Out of the play offs. That's probably the worst case, and we'll end up with 7-9. I think the worst case would surely be 0 points and out of the cup. 7-9 points looks realistic. We will probably slip up in one of the home games at least, and the two away games look tough. I would be very pleased with 10 points, we would be in a strong position heading into March. Losing the cup tie , while disappointing, might actually help us concentrate on making the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripperg-ram Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's a tough one to predict. we'll be confident coming away from a good win, but against a really poor team in Ipswich. Newcastle result will depend on Hughes playing. You'd have to be happy with a draw. But not suicidal with a decent performance and a loss. Leicester will be hungry for some success and I don't see us winning at their gaff. Bristol C are the only team you'd be expecting us to roll over at home. I'd want 3 points from that. ive got a feeling we may beat Burton, but it's their and Cloughs big day out, so they may be a tricky one. Def not forgone. and villas new players have got gel sometime. Might be a case of picking up points where you least expect them and losing them where you shouldn't. id be happy V with 12pts. are we not including the Blackburn game in this btw...?

Sparkle Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 10 points would be excellent but or even 13 if the Blackburn game is played in February Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAT Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Fixtures Newcastle (a) - Think we'll get a win here. 3 points Leicester (a) FA CUP - Resting players is more important. So we'll lose. Bristol City (h) - 3 points Cardiff City (h) - 3 points Burton Albion (h) - 3 points Aston Villa (a) - 1 point at best I'd be happy with that!

Millenniumram Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 5 hours ago, RamsPolls said: Think someone on the forum did this in January! We have some tough games this month. How many points would you like to see us pick up out of 15 available? Fixtures Newcastle (a) - lose Leicester (a) FA CUP - lose Bristol City (h) - win Cardiff City (h) - win Burton Albion (h) -win Aston Villa (a) -draw How many points would be a good return from this month? And what results can you see happening? If we're going to challenge for promotion we're gonna need 10 points at least imo, and I think we'll get exactly that, think the results above are my predictions for what will happen. Got some tough games coming up away, Newcastle are probably the only team in the league IMO who's squad is 100% better than ours, but the home games you'd really expect us to be winning imo.

Comrade 86 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Newcastle (a) - 1-1 (1POINT) Bristol City (h) - 0-3 (3 POINTS) Cardiff City (h) - 0-2 (3 POINTS) Burton Albion (h) - 0-1 (3 POINTS) Aston Villa (a) - 0-9 (3 POINTS - Mr Potato Head gets his P45) 13 points and a bloody good chuckle the net result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Outsiders will expect Newcastle to win but I have a feeling we will nick it but drop points in a game that looks like a cert for us. I'd reluctantly accept 9 but reckon we have a good chance of 11 or 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St James is silent, the home crowd don't know what happened. The home team are rattled and give up possession from kick-off, Ince finds Bryson on one of his runs, it's 2-0! 10 more minutes and Newcastle concede a corner, Keogh is up... 3-0! There's even time for Bent to add a 4th! The rain hasn't stopped, Stevie chuckles to himself as reaches for the umbrella "Have that you Geordie ******!" Then Bristol beat us 2-0 at Pride Park.

RiddingsRam Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I honestly believe the next 5 league games now are crucial to the remainder of our season. We always new Newcastle away was going to be a tough fixture , I couldn't make it so can't really comment on the performance but regardless we need to move on from that game. Again Leicester away in the cup is going to be a tough call but should be a good night and a win would be a massive confidence boost and would be great to go on a run in the cup but I'll not get ahead of myself. Regarding the league the next 5 games as I started the thread with our crucial I honestly believe we can get 15 points out of the next 5 games , That would be a massive catalyst for the rest of the season .

Rammed79 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I think now the tricky trip to Newcastle is out the way we will go on a good run our next few games are winnable and its now we really need to come into form and really go for it.

And then Huddersfield before that. Why I don't know but currently we seem worrying unable to succeed in games like this. Similarly, it is unrealistic to expect us to win all three home games in the league . Hope for, yes, but expect ? No. Think Wigan. The cup is anyones guess and the Foxes are getting thrashed at home currently. We have nothing to lose, they are in real trouble, with the CL round the corner. Great chance for an upset and win for us. If we decide to go for it. Realistically expecting 7 out of 15 plus into the 5th Round of the cup. More would be great of course.

ramsbottom Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Never expected us to get anything from Newcastle. If we're serious about cementing a place in the top 6, 10 points is an acceptable target. 12 points would be superb... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramboy63 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Forget Tonight's game if we get through its a bonus. For me its all about the next three home games realistically to keep us in touch with 6th place it as to be 9 points at the very worst 7 points,any less than that say goodbye to the playoffs,its one one team from 4 for the last play off place and we need to be winning these next three home games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
