optimisticowl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Far be it for me to bring the current season into the equasion, but this would be a very good scalp to hang from our belt, followed by Ipswich and Reading, could we get 7 points from these 3 games? I doubt that even 9 would elevate us to the top 6, but we would in poll position to mount a promotion challenge. I’m sick and tired of all the moaning and negativity, foolish I know, but thought it worth a try. Edited November 9, 2017 by optimisticowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shetland Owl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 No reason to think we cannot get a good result, team playing well and good crowd atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanharper Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Amazed that Bristol are doing as well as they are, they nearly went down last season even with 20 goal Tammy Abraham, thought they were certs to drop without him. Despite all the crap we've endured this season if we can beat them we'd only be 4 points off 4th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offalyowl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Well I think we can get a result from the Bristol game but it won't be easy but if we win, that be 3 wins in 3 and then there be no reason we can't kick on and go a good run and challenge at the right end of the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 If Carlos has any meat behind his promotion promise, then 7 points should be expected from 3 average teams in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sick and tired of all the moaning and negativity, foolish I know, but thought it worth a try. I think what really jumps out at me about these next three fixtures is that Wednesday have nothing to fear going into them. None of them are against long-established top six contenders, yet none of them are necessarily fixtures you'd be furious not to come away with three points from. None of them are particularly bogey teams for us, and all of them play styles of football we can compete with if we're on our game. We're coming off the back of arguably our best performance of the season, with every reason to feel positive about the way our squad is fiiiiiiinally (maybe?) starting to settle and click a bit. Rhodes and Butterfield looking good, Loovens back and behaving himself, Westwood going absolutely mental about not keeping a clean sheet at Villa. Nice! Three very winnable fixtures with the wind at our backs - on-form Bristol will be a tester for sure, but they don't seem to love it at S6 and I think if we come away with 3pts there then we'll end up with 9. If we don't, anyone's guess. Positivity is most certainly warranted, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you call a team that sits in 4th in the table after a third of the season average!!! Its mindsets like this that mean the club will NEVER win with some of you. My opinion is that Bristol will give us a good test but I dont fear anyone in this league. 7 points would be a fantastic return from these 3 tricky fixtures. Any fixture away from home is a tricky one in any league. But we have a bit catching up to do so we've added a bit of pressure on ourselves to go to historically tough places for us and to pick up a win or 2. Ipswich and Reading have never been good stomping grounds for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Quist Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 They are a well organised team who play with purpose. I think it is a must win game as they are type of team which need to be pegged back. Reading have just hit form with back to back wins and we do not have best record against them. Until last year we always struggled against McCarthy sides, so think next 3 are tough games and a good return of points would be excellent achievement.

s110wl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 We need to win pretty much all our home games if we want to be in a good position come May. Therefore, 3pts is the only positive outcome. Simples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 All depends on which Wednesday turns up I find it alarming we can beat Villa, but lose twice to Bolton Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

jonnyowl Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 This is massive for me. Potential rival for promotion, we could either be 3 points behind or 9 points behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalowlisback Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 We will win this, and close the gap on the top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Bristol city will be tough. A good team but on our day we should just have enough. Ipswich away will again be tough. Mick would frustrate us and I can see that being a boring draw. We should have enough to defeat Reading, but they are a team we historically struggle against.

No Al Habsi in goal for them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
