Tommy Crawshaw Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Our next 6 games are against the teams we haven't played yet and takes us to the halfway point of the season. 12th Nov. Accrington A 19th Nov. SHREWSBURY H 3rd Dec. Derby A 10th Dec. Exeter A 17th Dec. OXFORD H 26th Dec. Fleetwood A 4 away and 2 at home. I reckon the minimum we need is 12/13 points at least to give us 46/47 points at halfway stage and keep in touch with the top. Win 4 and draw 2 for 14 points would be an excellent return and close the gap or even put us in 2nd place. Obviously, a in win tomorrow is a must to get us off to a good start.

elyowl1 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 10 points plus would be a good return given 4 away games , Derby and Exeter away are both tricky , in my head two defeats so anything we pick up from either game is a positive. Obviously I hope we get more but I won’t be despondent if we don’t. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is 3 points tomorrow is needed to get us off to a good start in this 6-game spell up to Boxing Day. Anything less than 12 points and we fall behind the 2 points per game average and probably further behind the top 2. Plymouth's next 6 arguably look easier than ours. All against 11th and below, with their game at Lincoln tomorrow looking the toughest. Ipswich apart from Peterborough, all their games are against bottom half teams, with 4 of their 6 games at home. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopevalleyowl Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I’d be happy with 10 or 11 from these 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I want 18 points. Yes might be an unrealistic aim but if we are to win this league we're going to have to put a couple of strong winning runs together. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I think 11 points from that run would be reasonable… any better would be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 All we can do is take it one game at a time. As has already been mentioned Derby and Exeter look the toughest on paper and Shrewsbury are a bogey side plus Oxford were the only team to do the double over us last season. But we’re a different team compared to this time last year particularly away from home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Dupowls Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Need to start beating some of the main competition along the way - slightly worrying we all think we may come a cropper against Derby, who under Warne I’m worries about, and Exeter who looked handy on TV against Plymouth. Come on Wednesday, put a strong run together we need that top 2! UTO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While 10 or 11 points, 3 wins and a draw or two seems decent, I feel that would see us slip further behind the top 2. It would be a big ask to make up a big gap eith 23 games to go. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidioso Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Plymouth have no tough games (mostly bottom half) up until Jan 14 when they meet Ipswich, so we won't be catching them anytime soon! Ipswich too have it fairly easy. Id like to see five wins out of six just to stay in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Derby away i want to win our record at pride park has been awful over the years and it will be a full house, Wildsmith has been playing very well and Mendez lang will have a point to prove. we could end up meeting them in the play offs if we dont make top 2 and a few mental scars of a couple of big wins for us would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 12 points minimum. That's the expectation and standard we need to be setting. Think 14+ should be the target though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Accrington I’d have said ideally get minimum 12 but ideally 13+ I’ll go for Shrewsbury home - W Derby away - L exeter away - W Oxfordhome - W Fleetwood away - D Including todays win that’s 13 from 6 which is over the 2 points per game . No reason at all we can’t go to derby and win I think we’re certainly a better outfit than them but just the law of averages and Wednesday way etc etc tells me we will get a loss somewhere a long the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deano Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Away to Derby is a proper game, they have genuine quality at this level so it will be difficult, hopefully more space behind for us to exploit if they have a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need 13 points but it is going to be tough and there are some difficult games. 100% agree with just focusing on the upcoming game and taking it one game at a time. The team need to keep focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
