IWEDFM Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 4 wins 3 draws I know i'll get hammered for this but we really can do it and i'm usually quite negative. The play offs are a long shot granted but since Bruce has arrived not only have we started to keep clean sheets but we've found our scoring boots and the likes of Reach & Fletcher have hit form at the right time Its highly unlikely I know and we need to win most of our remaining matches to stand a chance but why not be positive when things are looking up Beat the Pigs and we might just do it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 And add to that, 7 clean sheets in 12 games. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 9 from 15 if you like and it's quite ridiculous when you think just how bad we were at defending under Jos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly And to think just over a month ago we couldn't buy a clean sheet or goal We've hit form at the right time Must beat the pigs though otherwise the dream is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
new zealand owl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 assuming 74 is the target, 27 points needed from 12 games. 8 wins 3 draws and 1 defeat? 9 wins and 3 defeats? looks even less likely when you type out those scenarios, cant afford many draws and we need some surprise away wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 It’s a longshot but I wouldn’t be surprised to see us finish the season like we did in 2012 but first we have to beat you know who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Let's hope we make it 23 unbeaten at season's end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mkowl Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I think the quality of teams we have to face, particularly in April will ultimately be the issue. This League is just so tough and you would be pleased with draws from some of those games. Monday is not make or break though, it is one game out of the remaining 12.

Guest Maxine Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I don't think the teams above us are going to start loosing many I dont think we can manage it this season but I think the rest of the season is going to be much more enjoyable and roll on next season.

It seems a lot more achievable We basically have to go on a similar run to Burnley did when they got promoted. It can be done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe blew up last night. We play them at Home. Derby in free fall. 8 points from last 7 matches. We play them Away. Forest could be the big threat. The Martin O’ Neill effect. Our next two fixtures, United And Derby will tell us everything. But with 12 games and 36 points left its anybody’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I’m usually pessimistic but now I’m starting to think why not. We play 3 of the 4 mentioned above. To be honest I think Bristol city will fall away now, Derby have been vvank, and forest and Brum are inconsistent. It’s all about momentum at these late stages and we actually have that now. Even a draw Monday night isint the end of the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james o connor Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 After ripping people all season for saying it ,somehow it’s actually a possibility ! Whilst im still pretty sure it won’t happen , surely you would just go hell for leather and hope for the best . We are safe now and literally have nothing to lose .
