Animis Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I don't think Preston, Barnsley and Birmingham are a threat. Still think Fulham will last the pace. In the end though, it's looking like Norwich and Derby who we need to watch and those two home games will be really pivotal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash60s Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Gonna be a really interesting nail biting heart wrenching finish to the season The Championship is bar far the best league to follow - hardest to predict, hardest to win But we are MASSIVE and the rest better watch out in the next month WAWAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 With a big Hillsborough crowd behind us we can beat anyone. We have to take 7 wins from these final 10 home games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to ensure we get the wins though and not draws - we already have more than the top 6. Conversely Leeds have lost two more games than us but are still 5 points ahead.

RichSheffWeds Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Derby look the threat on that run in. As as someone said, next 4 games critical to keep ahead of them and aim to catch 3/4/5th. Would be nice to pick up 10 points from those 4 games and put pressure on those chasing 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Here's a little table which doesn't prove anything, but might suggest that Newcastle, Reading and Norwich have the harder run-ins, perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRADDO Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It's going to be a tall order. Derby have a straight forward run in on paper. We need to go on a serious run now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Take 12 points from the games before we face Leeds and another 3 at Elland road and we are home and dry. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Looking at this seasons away defeats only Burton we should have lost , the others arguably we should have won them all but poor finishing and poor ref at a Derby has cost us , FF at Brighton Fir example or Nuhius header hitting the bar at Brum , small margins making a huge difference for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that our oppos miss too. Our woodwork has been rattled several times this season. The key is to make more and better chances than we are doing. In Rhodes and Hooper we have two of the best chance-per-goal strikers in the Championship, and in Fletcher a one-in-three in the PL striker. Got to give them quality service and they will do the rest....but we will still see them miss too. Edited February 6, 2017 by Holmowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 @BIG D great to see this again. Many of us may be frustrated with how we are playing, but with 17 games to go it is a pleasure to be so clearly in the hunt, and your table and thread help to crank up the excitement and tension. Completely in our own hands. If we show real ambition we can grasp this fantastic oportunity for promotion. We kept all our best players and in Rhodes, Fletcher and Reach we have very significantly strengthened. What a chance we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 We have to make the play-offs. Imagine this year's team in the final compared to last May's team:- Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens Pudil/Joao Wallace/Helan Hutch/Nuhiu Lee Bannan Hooper Forestieri Compared to:- Westwood Hunt Lees Loovens Reach/Winnall Wallace/Macca Hutch/Fletcher Bannan Forestieri Hooper Rhodes How much more confident would we be with those 14 players. Got to make it. Fanatastic opportunity for this team to become legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
