    ... are going to show us what we are really made of, they are games we really could do with not losing tbh. As this season goes on I think most will agree it´s going to be a really tight season again at the top & any 2 of 8 teams (imo) can go up & any 12 (if not more) can make the P.O´s.
    I know all games are important but these games v the top clubs could turn out to decide the does & the don´ts. Infact between now & Jan we have got alot of really tough game & it´ll be very interesting to see what the lge table looks like come the start of Feb.

    I didn´t see the game v B´mouth but from what NP has said we deserved the win the game. Very nice to see Nuge & Vardy scoring, nice too that Wood played apart.... I won´t mention yet another game without a clean sheet though :emoticon-0120-doh: I just did <laugh>. Anyway I guess a win is a win & as long as you score 1 more than the others.....

    Our next 3 games are Watford away, Forest at home and Ipswich away

    Watford on their day are one of the best teams in the like but IMO they arent as good as they was last season. Vydra and Chalobah are big losses for them. Also the play offs might be an extra motivation for the team especially Anthony Knockaert. If they give him a tough time it could bring out the best in Knockaert

    Forest is an east midlands derby something we have done very well in in recent years. Still will be a tough game against one of the better sides in the divison

    Ipswich away is one of the teams where we always seem to struggle. They wont like the sight of David Nugent one bit who always scores against them, they will be alot better this season with Mick in charge then they was last season so they will be a tough test

    Ive glad we've got ourselves in a good position with Watford and Forest coming up tbh, i don't think we'll be 5 points clear of 4th place after these matches, Ipswich is probably our best shot of 3 points imo, i'd take whatever we can get from Watford and Forest.

    Funny but Ipswich could well be the banana skin ... we have often come unstuck there, sometimes spectacularly. Derby showed that Watford can be vulnerable at their place and I think we are better balnced this season - plus Watford have had a couple of key injuries (particularly Anya who I really rate - hoping he's not quite ready for Saturday <whistle>) ... Forest have had a bit of a reality check at Yeovil and Billy Davies was quite candid on the FLS about the difficulties of this league and the fine line that can be the difference. Hoping we'll get 7 points but I'd settle for 5 right about now.

    I would happily take 5 points. 2 points on the road with a home win

    I think we can beat Watford and Ipswich.

    We shouldn't be looking for a point in those games. Especially if Nugent is playing, he always scores against both of those sides.

    We've come through our 'easy spell' pretty good, but I have been worrying about these upcoming games. Watford and Forest are both going to really up their games against us after both having recent indifferent form. How well Ipswich will play is anyone's guess.

    Not to mention the fact we cost them their playoff spot last season.

    Last night proved we can beat anybody.

    Right now no one will want to play us

    Hmmmmmmmm ... last night proved we could beat ... Fulham - what's more one of their fans came on here and told us that we would ... I think last night's result will gain us more respect, yes ... but given that we are the only non-Prem side left in this Cup I expect that they will ALL want to play us <laugh>

    I can see both sides of it really, inconsistent Watford may not want to play us at the moment, fearing we may want to steamroll this run of form as far as we can take it, but as Filberto says, any prem side will be looking to get us in the next round of the cup.

    No offence meant to the lads, as they have been playing really well recently, but all the prem sides will see us as the easiest game, especially if we are at their ground.
