So the remaining fixtures see's our road to the promised land as follows;

19th Feb - Bristol City (a)
22nd Feb - West Brom (h)
26th Feb - Barnsley (a)

5th March - Luton Town (h)
8th March - Sheffield Untied (a)
12th March - Millwall (a)
15th March - Birmingham (a)
19th March - Cardiff City (h)

2nd April - Peterborough (a)
5th April - Fulham (h)

15th April - Bournemouth (a)
18th April - Huddersfield (h)
23rd April - Swansea (a)
30th April - Stoke City (h)

7th May - Preston (a)

What are we thinking? April looks like a brutal month with 3 big games, Fulham, Huddersfield and Bournemouth. I think another 31 points with defeats against Fulham, Bournemouth and possibly Stoke City which would take us to 80 points (ish). Thoughts?
 
Wel be well up for Fulham after winning every game prior to that and our goals for will of increased . I dare say some will be re arranged due to our FA cup run
 
Should be able to get the points we need to secure a play off place from that lot....automatic is going to be a big ask, unless we beat Bournemouth and Sheffield Utd away?
 
19th Feb - Bristol City (a) Win
22nd Feb - West Brom (h) Draw
26th Feb - Barnsley (a) Draw

5th March - Luton Town (h) Draw
8th March - Sheffield Untied (a) Lose
12th March - Millwall (a) Win
15th March - Birmingham (a) Win

2nd April - Peterborough (a) Win
5th April - Fulham (h) Lose

15th April - Bournemouth (a) Lose
18th April - Huddersfield (h) Win
23rd April - Swansea (a) Lose
30th April - Stoke City (h) Win

7th May - Preston (a) Win

30 points is my guess and 4th place

You can't guess where we are going to end up with looking at our games in isolation, some of the team's around us have just as difficult run ins, Bournemouth in April will see them most likely drop down the table, then we have QPR, Blackburn, Huddersfield, their games are just challenging as ours. There is going to be a lot of twist and turns, I can't wait.
 
One game at a time. You might have had Blackburn winning the league extrapolating the form table the week before we played them but now they might be fighting to even make the playoffs. Couple of results go against us in the next few weeks and we're middle of the pack. Just keep winning and not getting too far ahead of ourselves.
 
If we can keep anywhere near the same form going, we're going to **** it into the playoffs.

Seems like we're going to have a lot of games against teams who won't have much to play for by the time we get to them.

From this point I'd be very disappointed if we didn't make the play-offs, although ask me that a few month back and I would have expected it.

Even if we don't make it though, we're getting well set up for next year, where we should be in an even better position, and the league will likely be weaker.
 
I see us finishing comfortably in the play offs - thats all that matters, preferably 3rd or 4th - and I dont fear any team we are likely to face, certainly none of the current play off contenders, though will be interesting so see how we get on in the games against West Brom and Sheff Utd
 
I see 3 potential losses straightaway at Bournemouth swansea and brum. All places we usually struggle BUT lets be positive id take 3 losses if we won the rest
 
April looks bruising, that's a lot of games, with potentially more to be added if we get past Spurs in the cup.

Those three away games on the bounce in March will be the big hurdle I think, but there isn't any team to fear in that bunch as we just have to take Fulham and Bournemouth as they come
 
You look at the way we play, press teams, the confidence throughout & think you cant see us lose a game but as night follows day we'll have a wobble its then how we come through that will show the character of the team & manager

So far CW has done a fantastic job & has the club & fans similar to what Bruce did when taking over
