Really do think it will be wolves Wigan and one more. Nice to have a game in hand and still out of the bottom 3....
We still need Arsenal and Newcastle to come up big tomorrow, but if they do, it would be superb. Especially if we can get a result, or partial result outa Villa
Great results tonight, but our future is in our own hands. We need to start banging the teams around us. I can see other sides thinking 'Oh no QPR ' and hitting them by three or four goals. I can't wait to smash Fulham.
Definately the league table has split into four mini-leagues at the moment: The top three, the European placings (4-7) mid table (8-15) and the relegation zone (16-20). There's a five point gap at present between us and WBA in 15th, and a 6 point gap between Stoke and Newcastle. A win tonight would pull us five points clear of the 18th, and three more on Saturday against one of our main rivals would do our cause no end of good.
Happily take 4 points this week. We can't expect to win every game. Taking 3 points of wolves on Saturday has to be priority. 5 more wins ( a couple of draws ) and we will be fine. If we can get 2 this week that would be massive.
so if we win tonight and saturday will the mid table group go from 8th to 16th if results go our way.
Don't underestimate Wolves either; they'll be scrapping like drowning cats and remember they and Wigan have been in this situation before, a few times, and survived. What i'm really saying is there are simply no easy games coming up; the ones against our relegation rivals will be dogfights (that's dogs and cats in the same post!) and the other ones speak for themselves (or bark or mieow)
Wigan and wolves are the worst teams we have played this year , both are drowning fast. I truely believe it is a four way fight for 18th with us, bolton, blackburn and WBA ( i think they might get dragged in and did'nt look overally impressive to me when they came to our place, very lucky to get a point). 4 points this week and we will be 6 points clear of wolves, nice healthy gap and dragging ourselves closer to that pack above us.
4 points this week would be the best we can reasonably hope for. As for it being between us Bolton, Blackburn and WBA I'd add Swansea and possibly Norwich to that list. Remember Blackpool...
i'd love us to catch up swans & norwich which i can see in a few games hopefully, yeh would take 4 points from next two.
I really hope expactions arnt too high,now we have signed a few decent players. Dont expect miracles and I wouldnt turn my nose up at a draw tonight. Saturday at home is massive.
I really think Bolton and Blackburn will have a better second half of the season, someone from the group above us is going to have a dip in form and be sucked into the mire. We have to make the next six games really count...
