Guest shearfox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 21st. In England... Pearson needs to go just not good enough...
Captain... Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 I actually think we've a tough month ahead of us, if we're still top by the end of the month we'll be in an exceedingly good position. Off the pitch as well, with contracts expiring and other teams potentially sniffing around our players, then there is the potential for new signings that could strengthen or disrupt, or other sides strengthening. We are in a great position, but there is a long way to go and January could be season defining, I don't expect many ins and outs, unless they are real quality I can't see anyone being signed to walk straight into the first team, but a couple of experienced squad players, or young lads with lots of potential, just to give our squad a few more options and cover for injuries.
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 behind QPR, then its us or Derby for 2nd place, for me. I hope the bastards fall away
Captain... Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 21st. In England... and Wales, otherwise we would be behind 20 English and 2 Welsh teams, play offs
Big Dave Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 We will beat QPR on Friday 18th April (match is bound to be brought forward because of Sky), guaranteeing a top 2 finish
ozleicester Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Think we'll definitely avoid relegation now, might need another win though. Hopefully Pearson can do it Arent we safe YET??... Pearson out
_Fatboyslow_ Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 We will beat QPR on Friday 18th April (match is bound to be brought forward because of Sky), guaranteeing a top 2 finish Some big games in April for sure, from this position we must be good for the play offs, have a good January and we really should be looking at automatic.
Strokes Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Brian Little, although never making automatics had the aim of 25 wins & 10 draws, giving 85pts That's basically what's required & there's a few sides who can do that, so there's a hell of a lot of work to do to stay ahead of the pack. QPR will invest, as will Forest and maybe Derby & it will only take a side to replicate Watford or Bolton's second half of last season to force their way into the reckoning too. Brighton with players returning from injury and Ipswich also remain ones to watch, Middlesbrough also circling. However as the only team to average over 2ppg over 24 games, we're the ones to beat and only have ourselves to worry about When little was in charge, this league had 22 teams and only 42 games compared to the 46 currently so that might not be as true to today.
Guest kristianity77 Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Well I looked at our remaining fixtures and i see 35 more points from here so 86 in total. Hopefully thats enough for an auto spot.
ithuriel Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Auto spot hopefully, play offs now would be a massive downer and we would most likely not even reach Wembley but go out yet again away from home.
Guest shearfox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Looking at it this way, play-off form from now to the end of the season would put us in an excellent position of an auto spot. Just above relegation form would put us into a play-off spot... Automatic promotion form would be certain promotion and excellent chance of winning the league.
sylofox Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Going to edge my bets on this one and say. Somewhere in the top 24
Larry_LCFC Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Not even gonna guess tbh. Anything can still happen and probably will. Would like to finish top two, but the truth is, nobody has a clue!
Dan Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 and Wales, otherwise we would be behind 20 English and 2 Welsh teams, play offs Oh shit
Large Frank Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Basically, do as well in the second half of the season as the first and we're there. Simple as that!
Vlad The Impaler Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 I'd like to think we will gain automatic promotion given the position we are in I don't think 'Arry will be at QPR much longer to be honest, and I see them as our main threat
Carl the Llama Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Everybody's being so positive. I don't like this.
Bluetintedspecs Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 Everybody's being so positive. I don't like this. Go put some lucky pants on and touch some wood Carl, you'll be fine
Simonb Posted 2 January 2014 Posted 2 January 2014 36 points and we're there I reckon... I think top two with QPR. Depending on how QPR do in the transfer market will decide on first or second The teams below us Burnley - 4 points behind, rely on two players... should drop away QPR - 5 points behind, still strong, have a budget ... still the team to beat IMO Derby - 7 points back, must be due a dip in form? Florist - Already 11 pts behind, seem to draw a lot of games, so should not challenge us Ipswich et al - 15 points behind (the rest more) shouldn't even be looking at these now
