Holmowl Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Our fixtures to 1st Jan. Seven games in 23 days. BRENTFORD Derby Forest BRISTOL C Stoke CARDIFF HULL Yesterday’s strong showing and highly deserved 3 points put us two points off 5th and 3 points off 4th. We’ve 4 homes and 3 aways coming up, and none of them should fill us with fear. We have yet to be comfortably beaten. Not once by more than a single goal. In contrast, five of our wins have been by two or three goals. Some individual naivety and lots of bad luck have taken key points off us. Hopefully Monk is working on the mental side to eradicate the former, and hopefully our desperate luck hitting the goal-frame will change very soon. West Brom, Leeds and probably Fulham look a class apart. Fine - no worries. Our key rivals become Forest, Preston, Bristol City, Brentford, Cardiff etc.... and we can finish near the top of that mini-league. These 7 games come thick and fast, and can shape our season. Massive fingers crossed we come through them in great shape. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handworth52 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 hopefully going on about 7 that Brentford wont be drinking 7up like yesterday ,lets take the fizz out of them this Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Think the first 4 could go either way tbh. It's the Championship innit. A lucky bounce, a defender switches off, a great strike. Very fine margins in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Difficult to predict outcome in most games in this league, who would have thought Hull would thump Preston 4-0 then a few days later lose 3-1 to Barnsley. 21 points to play for in those 7 games, a return of 14 points would be decent.

Bouncing Owl Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 A lot of these games are against playoff rivals so good chance to close the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owly Mowly Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Is it wrong that I’m a looking where we are with minus 15 points? Can’t help but look at the relegation situation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilfsmith Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 The cloud of a points deduction which hangs over us is in danger of killing off any hope of play offs. I can't be the only one who is finding it increasingly difficult to be optimistic in threads like these while the EFL mandarins shuffle with our club's future.

Owls-Fan Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 When we predicted the November games on this site I said 8 points and we only got 5 points. So I will predict 21 points this time so we can get 18 points. You’re welcome everybody 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Looks like a fairly difficult run of games to me. Chuffed there are 7 games in 23 days though. FOOTBALL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoop Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I was saying to my dad yesterday that nobody has really given us a good hiding yet, even the defeats have been by fine margins QPR. Winning at half time, second half collapse Hull. Should have had a pen which would have been 1-1 Millwall. Battered their 10 men for an hour , couldn’t get the goal Blackburn. Best not to speak about that one WBA. Played well and got done at the end Cardiff, Swansea and Birmingham should have all been beaten too Could easily be sitting here with another 15 points, and sat top of the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonofbert2 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 7 games in 23 days......WOW!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 I think we have to take 1 game at a time. The Championship is such a difficult league to call, anyone can beat anyone on their day. I’m just looking ahead to Brentford and that’s as far as it goes right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree completely would love us to properly in the mix to leave us with an outside chance when the FA deduct us 12 or 15 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If truth be told we've been showing play-off form throughout 2019. Fletcher in particular has had a fantastic year with a month still to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think DC could and should challenge strongly on the basis that the EFL standpoint is a revisionist one. The decision had already been made.
