I've been looking at our upcoming fixtures and think we have got what it takes to take 12 points from the next four games. I think we've had our first difficult spell and we are still joint second, not bad... I know we have got injuries but I still believe the squad is strong enough to beat Charlton and Doncaster without too much trouble then push on and turn over Bournemouth and Blackburn. Putting us in a great space leading up to Christmas... Thoughts..........
My thoughts are that you could well be right.........but I think it's best to not get too far ahead of ourselves. One game at a time and feet firmly on the ground!
I said pretty much the same thing on the Points Comparison thread. Four very winnable games, but then we are QPR.
Injuries are beginning to play a part now. Ale, Junior, Jenas, Dunne, all within a few games. Good to see AJ back though. I thought he brought some guile to the team when he came on.
Whilst our next few games doesn't look bad & should pick up a reasonable amount of points what's equally important is the run of games for the other top teams & looking at these I'll think we should hopefully be very well placed after this run as they'll undoubtedly be dropping points: Burnely: Nottm Forest V Burnley Huddersfield V Burnley Burnley V Watford Burnley V Barnsley Leicester: Ipswich V Leicester Leicester V Millwall Sheff Wed V Leicester Brighton V Leicester Blackpool: Birmingham V Blackpool Blackpool V Sheff Wed Yeovil V Blackpool Derby V Blackpool Nottingham Forest: Nottm Forest V Burnley Nottm Forest V Reading Millwall V Nottm Forest Sheff Wed V Nottm Forest Reading: Blackburn V Reading Nottm Forest V Reading Reading V Charlton Reading V Bournemouth
I wouldn't worry too much about the other teams games, we have a chance to get a decent run and momentum going. Bournemouth drew at Burnley yesterday which shows there are no pushovers in this league. Our form in yesterday's game was very encouraging...
