Top 6 against each other would also be very interesting, 7-10th doesn't feel as relevant. Is it possible to do that? Sorry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted January 5, 2018 Moderator Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's all possible but I don't want to spam the thread. We're 5th out of 6 in that with 5pts from 6 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at BOF's table, I reckon most of those losses against the top teams have occured away from VP, we must be due to play them at home soon which will prove whether we have a chance of automatic promotion.

Kind of disagree here, all those teams (1-10) are capable of making a run for promotion, and are probably the 10 best teams in the league. This is as good an indicator as we will get IMO. Much better than it was a few weeks back with the like of Forrest and Ipswich who were never going to stay the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolves deserved the win we were shit, Derby was a nice early xmas present from whelan and Cardiff well that was poor but our first away game with a different team. I think we would destroy Cardiff if we were to play them at Villa Park now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) We can beat any team in this league.....but just as easily get beaten....that is the dilemma. consistency is our target.....get that and we can be ,what we want to be. The Bristol game ( even factoring in their heavy schedule) proved to me, the players, the manager and the coaches, have it in their locker. consistency is the enemy to conquer.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 We have a run of games now right up until Wolves on 10th March where *maybe* Fulham away aside you would make us favourites for every single one. Forest, Barnsley, Sheffield United, Burton, Birmingham, Fulham, Preston, Wednesday, QPR, Sunderland. I would go as far as to say we need to win at least 7/8 of them and chuck in a couple of draws. That should be enough to nudge us into 2nd. What we don't want to be doing is going into the last 5 needing to win more or less every one, with Cardiff, Leeds, Ipswich, Derby and Millwall away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
