thebizzle Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Decent fixtures, really believe we will come out with a good points haul and start 2017 around 5th / 6th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 No fixture is decent for us at the moment. Need to get our heads out of the sand and start making a move on this league. It might help if King Carlos starts dropping certain players and giving a select few a chance namely Abdi & Buckley. There is hope I suppose.

i used to be sc_owl Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Wolves (a) - lose Preston (h) - win Reading (a) - lose Barnsley (h) - win Rotherham (h) - win Newcaslte (a) - lose Preston (a) - draw Wolves (h) - draw 11 points I think.

Mr Farrell Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 That's exactly the attitude that will see us finish mid table and a good coach sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its where we finish in May that counts - or it used to!!! Actually 13 would put us on 38, 2 games in to the second leg. So it would be around the same league position as we are in now. Fair enough. I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Hope you're right. But you can't take anything for granted in this tough competitive division. I do think though that despite not hitting top gear yet, we're doing alright but I'd like us to play a more balanced side, with Hutchinson back in midfield and two proper wingers on the flanks. Hopefully Forestieri is back to his best too and we'll go back to the fluid, attacking, energetic and pressing game that served us so well last season.

He`s too stubborn and will stick will 3 centre mids which makes us very narrow and unbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOLS Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) Neither 11 nor 13 points will be enough from those games to maintain play-off aspirations. As the OP says this is a relatively easy set of games (although it is clear in this division the margins of difference are so small that anyone can beat anyone) so we must capitalise now or slip away from the leading pack. By the way this will not be helped by Hutch moving to midfield. He is excellent at the back, and too prone to making wreckless challenges playing in midfield. People have told me that is what Jones was bought for, and is doing so well at (well that's what they tell me but I'm yet to be fully convinced).

Someone posted the other day that 1.65 points per game should see us 6th. 14 points gets that. 4 wins and 2 draws should absolutely not be a problem if we really are a challenger.
