Rab a dab doo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If we keep averaging 4 points every 2 games until the end of the season we will be there or there about come May. Just need to keep doing the things were doing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possible. Well we have already drawn at their place and Gary Rowett keeps stating in the post match interviews that we can play better. What we need now and until the end of the season is that bit of luck. Being lucky in some games, being lucky with injuries not happening to our key players.

Ram of Steel Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I'm positive, every team has a wobble throughout the season, we just happened to experience ours before anyone else. We have played more of the bigger teams away so far this season such as Cardiff, Bristol City, Leeds, Boro, Sheff Utd etc which should give us a slight advantage in the second half of the season when we have them at home. There is no way Cardiff will finish on 95+ points come the end of the season, the likes of them and Bristol City doing very well at the moment but I'd suggest they are playing nearer to the best of their abilities than us. Still a long way to go but that and the amount of experience to get out of this league we have throughout the team will stand us in very good stead for the second half of the season. Let's just hope we don't have the annual February meltdown this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a bit of luck in the timing of when we play our key rivals - ie hopefully when they're a bit weakened through injuries /suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rab a dab doo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think everyone can feel the sense that something is starting to be built here. The players too can feel it as their performance levels have increased and we have now become a team. They are all working together for one cause. I believe we have quite few factors which may work to our benefit. 1. GR's ambition to succeed. 2. A core of experienced battle-hardened players who have successfully been through this before. 3. Our passionate support. 4. We have been so close the law of averages means we must be due a revisit to premier league. All we need to do is keep the faith and cheer on the lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 It’s nice to see everyone who steps onto the pitch puts in maximum effort - I know that they always should do but it’s not the reality usually just look at Villa’s subs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Kevin Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Too many variables to say ,injuries ,who buys who in the transfer window, cup runs or not ,etc .For me we are ahead of where I thought we would be with this squad after the last window shut,and we looked the part on Saturday .Lets not get carried away enjoy the moment hope for the best, but we are in with a good shout.

RodleyRam Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Anything is possible. You'd say Wolves would have to have a catastrophe to finish outside of the top 2 from here. We have a strong, experienced and determined squad. That should stand us in good stead but from now to Feb will be absolutely critical. You get the feeling that a single defeat doesn't have the same impact as previous years. We seem to bounce back quickly and adapt as a result. Performances are improving. We score good goals and have a very clinical strike force. We will have a much better idea by the end of Feb. That's sort of obvious but it's a critical time with injuries, suspensions etc. Key difference for me is The team spirit and the determination. It's not always pretty but you've got to love the fight and the will to win! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely love it when they are snapping at the heels of the opposition defence giving them no time to build. Interesting to see how they cope with Millwall that do much the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennington Ram Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Sounds like a cliche but we really will know more by early Feb. We have two huge homes games coming up v Bristol and Sheff Utd, punctuated with nominally 'easy' games both home and away vs Millwall and away vs Birmingham. Aside from Birmingham, who I watched recently and thought were comfortably the worst Championship side I've seen this season, all those games are hard but very important. Win em all and all of a sudden we look a step above our play-off rivals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been years of abuse that the true believers had to put up with. Not everyone can see what a football genius he is. But now they do. No need for that. There is a list and we know who's on it.

Everyone will want to play at Old Trafford but the big prize has to be top priority. So what does he do. Throw some kids in to the fire ? Reward some out of favour players ? Experiment a bit ? Field the A team and go for it ? .... Personally I'd have a spine of first teamers and a basic structure but try some combinations and young 'uns somewhere in the mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
