    Rotherham, Fulham at home, then QPR and Blackburn away. So how many points and why? I'll go first.

    Rotherham - scrappy game but 3 points in the bag at the end.

    Fulham - making amends for that awful display last time against them in the cup. A good game of football and 3 points again.

    QPR - difficult one with two characters Warnock and Hollowhead fighting it out. I'll go for a gutsy point from a draw.

    Blackburn - the most difficult game of the 4 IMO. They're a better side than their league positon suggests. Another battling display required but I think we'll have enough to take all the points in a very close game.


    So that's it for me - 10 out of 12 and into the top 10 with 10 games to go eh?

    Rotherham 3, Fulham 0, QPR 3 and Blackburn 1 - 7 points. Hope I'm proven wrong but we can't write off any of these teams. Rotherham aren't going to roll over, Fulham are a dodgy team and are pushing for the play offs. QPR have been disappointing this season and had we played them at home with Warnock at the helm I think we'd have stuffed them 2 or 3 nil, Blackburn will depend on their league position when we play them, currently 2 points away from Burton and are going to want that spot.

    Rotherham - win. Some pundits say they'll be defensive but they need 3 points so it'll be more open than some people suspect. City should be able to pick them off.

    Fulham - lose. Fulham will be playing attacking football as they need to win for their play off bid. Their defence is porous but they are better going forward than us and expect them to win.

    QPR - win. NW will want to upstage Olly and I expect City to triumph on the road again.

    Błackburn - draw. Tough scrappy game either 0-0 or 1-1.

    Rotherham - win
    Fulham - lose
    QPR - win
    Blackburn - win

    QPR and Blackburn are crap. Rotherham will be an ugly win. Fulham will beat us on the counter.

    Win all 4
    Rotherham will be too open as they need the win
    Fulham might come down here after looking at the FA cup match thinking we're easy pickings leaving themselves wide open
    QPR in a bit of a crisis but not enough of a crisis to start panicking night be a draw but i'll go for a scrappy one
    Blackburn never do well against us and have pretty much written this one off already whereas i feel our squad have an eye on the play offs

    Since Warnock took over we've averaged just over 1. 6 points a game. extrapolate that over our remaining games puts us on around 65 points. half a dozen short of the playoffs I think.

    But Warnock needed a run up period..... to sort things out based on recent performance, we get 84 points..... Is that enough for Automatic or still play-offs. But with that track record, we would walk the play-offs... optimistic or what!!!!

    It's usually 90 for auto and 70 for the playoffs.

    Nothing wrong with optimism frankfurter. there's been little enough opportunity for any the last few years.

    I think the playoff bar will be higher this year.

    Cliche alert. We need to take it 1 game at a time. Currently we can beat anyone, in this division. We've got quite a kind run of fixtures through March. If we keep winning we could be within touching distance by the time we start playing some of the sides (hopefully) around us in April
