Championship Run-in 2016-2017


Recommended Posts

The next 4 games (which are during the next 2 weeks and 3 days!) look like they will be key for everyone. It's amazing to think that after 2 weeks there will only be 2 games left! 

 

We're lucky that we have 3 out of 4 at home and we really need to make that an advantage 

 

i would say we need 2 wins and a draw from the next 4 games to stay in control.

 

Hopefully Newcastle win tonight so that they may see a draw at ours on Saturday as a good result (And not try too hard)

Despite what the doom-mongers would have you believe, we are actually better off than before the weekend.  Four points gained from two banana-skin away derbies.  A point further ahead of Fulham.  Four points (and five goals) gained on Leeds, who might just be wobbling.  Only Derby (and Villa, who might just be too far behind) gained from below.  Sure, a tricky looking game coming up but we will already know what else has happened.  Then a run of 4 games against teams who might just be on their holidays when we turn up.  And Fulham last game in case we need it - and recall we saw off Cardiff last year in the same situation.

 

Who wouldn't have accepted this exact scenario if offered at the start?

Our matches may have been turgid, but the next four weeks are going to be as tense and gut-wrenchingly exciting as you could imagine. 

 

From Leeds through to Norwich, you can't write anyone off. Preston could be two points behind us on Saturday night, Norwich could be three points behind us. Leeds can be dragged in, or can pull clear again.

 

Villa have left it very late so are not even in your list, but have won 7 of their last 8, conceding one solitary goal. Looking at their fixtures you could make a case that they can win all six of them. Which would mean we need 10 points from our six matches.

 

Our own fixtures, tbh, are pretty scary, but then so are everyone else's. 

 

White-knuckle horror film, X-rated, hide behind the sofa (or behind a pillar on the Kop).

 

Football eh?

 

Wow.

 

That is some set of fixtures Norwich have.

 

They will do well to get much from them!

It's starting to get seriously interesting now!

 

Still everything to play for all the way up to 3rd.
