Day Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'd expect 4 or 5, beat Portsmouth at home and hopefully pick up draw/s away to Boro or/and Reading. Anymore and I think I would actually be surprised despite the good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Reckon we might get something out of Boro away. Leicester away as always and S'hampton at home are the two i don't much fancy. With them next to eachother too.....

Yeah they've spent big but theres alot of expectations there, otherwise, we've got none. We're playing better than expected, higher in the league than expected. We can play comfortably but because of expectations Leicester can't. I really think we can get a result there. Will be great if we can! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Yup, to go through all those fixtures unbeaten would set us up for a good run. To go through all of those fixtures winless would also be a disaster.. There is no one to fear in this league, everyone is either poor or average.. Perhaps Southampton aside (they look quite tidy yet still easily beatable) You can only beat whats infront of you, despite us playing all the bottom teams, you have to beat them to be up in the table.. Who cares if we have West Ham, Cardiff, Soton, Leicester, Brighton and then Boro all away on the trot.. We could easily beat all of them as we could lose. From any given 5 games on the spin I'd be dissapointed with only 5 points, as that means we would have failed to win in 4 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally disagree. 5 draws would leave us on the fringe of the playoffs, unbeaten in 7 with some big names behind us. Absolutely great position to enter the Christmas period with. Unless you're still holding out for a playoff place. That said I do think we'll get at least 1 win, but wouldn't be surprised if we don't get 5 points.

You agree that it would be disappointing just 5 points from 5 games, good, I think it would be a disaster. True what you say about all teams being equal, we're all in the Championship for a reason, because it's where we all currently belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 To go through all of those fixtures winless would also be a disaster.. There is no one to fear in this league, everyone is either poor or average.. Perhaps Southampton aside (they look quite tidy yet still easily beatable). Personally, I don't agree with that. There are a handful of sides in this league who would walk any other 2nd tier in the world, and certainly would hold their own in many countries' top tiers. Just because a side isn't Premier League or La Liga quality doesn't always mean they're poor or average. It's a tough call to beat a side like Leicester who have players like Andy King on the bench. Every side is beatable, I agree, but I also think it's dangerous the undersetimate the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Definitely not getting carried away with the good start. As we know, good starts can turn into sh1te runs quickly - lets hope it doesn't happen, but it is a long season. You haven't still got the squits have ya Gboro?

True, last season was so disappointing after a start of playing fantastic football and getting to the top end of the league. But I'm too much of an optimist, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Should beat Reading, they are dire and should also do Pompey who are rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshaw_Ram Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 We have got a few bloody tough games coming our way, but (if we win on Tuesday), even if we lose four on the spin we'd probably still be in the playoffs! Over the last couple of seasons we've gained something of a reputation for being able to beat the 'big' teams in the league and stuff it up against the smaller teams. Imagine if we can still turn it on against the top teams (for example, all coming up soon, Leicester, Southampton, Middlesbrough) while consistently and convincingly beating the poor teams (e.g. Doncaster, Forest).

McRamFan Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Fundamentally does anyone really expected us to be where we are now? This league is one place where the unexpected WILL happen. Look at the forest game, where in the history of the FA has 10 men for 89 mins go on to win after going down 1-0 after a minute? It is as random as the lottery.

ram2767 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Do you know our record against Reading ? TBH I don't but I'm not a fan of records. Look at our previous games against Forest? 1-0 and 5-2? And were a different side to that of the last two seasons now so I'm just basing it on this season really.
