Optimistic Nut Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Going by Brums finishing total of 83 points to claim 2nd last season, we need 27 points to equal that. 4 wins and 15 draws? One win every other game then. Should easily do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I'd be happier with an average 2 pts a game - win at home, draw away..................... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leazes.ender Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 f*** a points target. We should just be going out there and trying to win every game. Better get a new manager then or at least get him to change his tactics. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

macca888 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 With the squad we now have, 10 wins from our last 18games plus a few draws is extremely doable.....................I am going for 98 points with 11 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats over the remaion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Next 9 games for us = unbeaten run?? I think we need to aim for 27 points! We dont need to fear any of those 9 teams. The 10th game is newc vs notts forest. WHich i hope we will be able to enjoy by then, as we could be more or less promoted...approx 80 pts. tbh i cant see where west brom will lose points either, but am guessing they will draw more than us(hope). WIll be frustrating if they enter april less than 10 pts behind us: I want the title not just promotion! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 The title would be nice but as long as we finish top two I'll be happy. In fact it'd perhaps be more fitting so that we don't have to endure the inevitable crowing from the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think we've made the right signings to help up push on, Routledge especially looks like the impact player we've need along the right to give us some balance in the team. I'm still not sure we're dead certs for automatic promotion though, I think Forest and West Brom are pushing us too well to relax and begin to churn out games until the end of the season.

Rob W Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 We have 3 tough games left IMHO Derby & Swansea away and Forest at home - the rest are pretty drossy We also have a dream run in at the end of the season right now drawing the remainder of our games would see us in the playoffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Sheff U at home, The Smogs away, Watford away amongst others - all of which I see as being as difficult as travelling to Derby. We should do it, but I don't think we can take 15 of our reamining 18 fixtures for granted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Every game is potentially tough, and should be treated as such. Take away last nights game and we've been fuking wank for months and looked ready to throw it all away. Lets not go back in to that comfort zone, it's done fuk all good for us in the past.

womblemaster Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 `Take away last nights game and we've been fuking ` true, but this is first time we have had quality up BOTH left and right, and guthrie in the middle. LEts hope our manager is finally learning and will repeat this formation. I suspect he may still be cautious on the road tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEts hope our manager is finally learning and will repeat this formation. I suspect he may still be cautious on the road tho. My optimism for the rest of the reason has taken a big shift up, like i said at the start of the window, go in to Feb with the same squad and we won't get promoted. Feel like its all possible again. Win at home, draw away and were back in the prem. He won't drop the Smith/Butt/Nolan stranglehold on the centre straight away but if results go our away (both ours and others) we might see more creativity later on in the season, especially if Barton gets back fit.

We've not been playing very well but that's just not true. We're unbeaten in like 17 or something. Forest and West Brom have closed the gap but we've never been anything less than 'comfortably' first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Just looking at the league table and it's quite encouraging to see after this weekend we'll have almost played the other 6 best teams in the league twice - WBA, Cardiff, Swansea, Leicester and Palace (who should have 43 points). The other sides in the top 10 still have to come up here too - Forest, Sheff U, Barnsley and Blackpool. No reason why we can't still wallop the shite and get to 100.
