One for the road or any of the doom mongers. 9 wins in 12, on course for 82 points aswell atm. Playoffs aren't the target Promotion is I think we will be a playoff team and maybe come close to that automatic spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the injury to a key player has rocked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 2 points dropped from sheff united hopefully leads to the cracks there All we need is cardiff to drop points and if we win at leeds we could be 2nd!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One For The Road Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 We have done exceptionally well to win those 3 games. If we can get to January without too much damage then maybe we can be in the mix come May. Sheffield United will fall away but Derby and Leeds will come good I think so let's see what happens. Very happy with the last 7 days though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham (h) Blues (a) Preston (a) I think about five points from these three. Wednesday (h) QPR (a) Sunderland (h) Ipswich (h) Probably the most optimistic section of my predictions, I reckon maybe ten points here. Leeds (a) Milwall (h) Derby (a) Sheff Utd (h) Maybe seven points from these four taking us to the halfway mark. That would get us to 41 points, 1.78 points per game. Just for reference purposes, Newcastle were on 49 points at the halfway point last season. Shamelessly quoting myself. At this stage I thought we could achieve 15 points, happily we’ve managed 16. I’d have been happy with us reaching 41 points by Christmas, but now I think we’re capable of getting a couple more on top of that. If we manage that and get positive results against the likes of Leeds and Sheff Utd as well, I’ll be confident that a top two finish is ours for the taking. Provided we’ve now reached our injury quota for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 It is looking really good at the moment. I can't see us catching nine points on Wolves but we have to fancy ourselves to make a run at second. We are 6 points clear of 7th now so even though our great run hasn't put the top spot closer to us it has given us a nice gap over those outside the top 6.

Keyblade Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Really not liking the smugness of Wolves fans. I hope we overtake them, but 9 points seems too big of a task. We have like 6 months to chip away at it so you neverk now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infact I'd be amazed if we don't open it for all the games past xmas. Anyone know if we're going to be selling half season tickets up there?

They are a cut above and are sweeping teams away. We will need to win over and over again and see them stutter quite badly. It's more likely that we will drop points than them. It's very unfortunate but there we are. Maybe if they got a few injuries... Edited November 25, 2017 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be suprised if we do considering teams on fire and we are still only getting 30k for games like today.
