leftbackinthechangingroom Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 So looking at the fixtures from now to the end of the season, we have Burnley, QPR, Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday among others. The question is do you think we have the toughest run in from now till the end of the season?
fuchsntf Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Easy run in doesnt mean easy points. We have the points in the bag, so a point gained, from draws , with games running out puts Pressure on the chasers.
Rocket-Ron Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I think anyone that has us to play hasn't got an easy run in.
PillyJFox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 On paper. But in this league anybody can beat anybody
fuchsntf Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 No easy games this time of the season!! Wrong, we have Burnley and Wigan in the next 2 games, but then it starts to get tough. Derrr.
oxford blue Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 As we're the only team that has to play 4 of the other 5 teams in the top 6, yes is the obvious answer, particularly as 3 are away. The advantage is that those teams won't gain points compared to ours (I'm hopeful we won't lose to any of them.)
Guest Col city fan Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Look.. There is no such thing as an easy or a tough run in. Even if you are playing the bottom sides, they'll be scrapping away. We have shown, over the course of the season, that we are capable of beating ANYONE in this division. Just keep thinking that way.
MC Prussian Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 So looking at the fixtures from now to the end of the season, we have Burnley, QPR, Wigan, Sheffield Wednesday among others. The question is do you think we have the toughest run in from now till the end of the season? This is the Championship. Anything can happen. Personally, I'd expect us to get another four to five wins out of the remaining nine games: Burnley away can go either way. Wigan away will be tough - they're on a great run. Might have to look at the first defeat in months. Sheffield Wednesday and Brighton at home I can see us getting six points from. We usually don't do well at the Majdeski, so I'd settle with a draw. QPR are in a bit of a mess lately. Win for us at home. Bolton and Huddersfield away - three to four points out of six. The final game against Doncester should finish on a high note and another win for us. Optimistic or realistic? You decide.
Cotts Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 So far this season we have dropped 1 point against the top 5 teams (below ourselves) yet we have dropped 8 points against the bottom 5 teams. Yes we have played more fixtures against the bottom clubs, but still it just shows having an easier run can mean very little in this league.
shade Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 compared to the start of next season, this is easy peasy.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Look.. There is no such thing as an easy or a tough run in. Even if you are playing the bottom sides, they'll be scrapping away.

Fox92 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 All games are tough. Lets not forget Burnley have to play Wigan, Reading, Watford as well.
Legend_in_blue Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 I'd rather we have a tough run in. We always turn up against the better sides.
sylofox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 No. Everyone has a tuff run at this point of the season. 8/9 clubs could go down so fighting for there lives. 8/9 clubs fighting for there lives to go up. So unless you only play teams that can't go down or can't make the play off's they are all hard games.
weller54 Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 7/8 more points is enough!!... And avoid losing to qpr... Job done!!!

ScouseFox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 yeah it's tougher than others but we've done our hard work and the run in doesn't even matter
Reg Vardy Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 How many of the teams we have to play have we lost to.....say it all really
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 Barnsley have beaten two top six sides recently, Forest and Reading Yeovil have drawn away at Wigan and Leicester in the past week Charlton won at Forest and beat in form Bournemouth We've lost this season at Charlton, Doncaster and (then struggling) Sheff Wed. We've beaten Derby three times (twice in the league); we've won at QPR, we've drawn with Burnley, we've beaten Wigan, we've beaten Reading, we've beaten Ipswich home and away I'm not really sure what constitutes an easy / difficult game in this mad division.
Rincewind Posted 28 March 2014 Posted 28 March 2014 It'll be as easy or hard as we make it. If the chasing teams do us a favour and slip up it will make it easier.
Nick Posted 29 March 2014 Posted 29 March 2014 I'd rather be playing mid table teams with nowt to play for than what we have coming but that's football, you've got to play everybody!
Riyad_Suarez Posted 29 March 2014 Posted 29 March 2014 We've got a decent run-in. Some winnable home games with some tricky away games. I looked at Burnleys run-in a couple of weeks back and remember thinking they'd got an incredibly easy run-in, I couldn't see them losing to any of their opponents but it's starting to look like a pretty difficult one actually. It consists pretty much entirely of promotion chasing sides, teams fighting for their lives, Watford away, Boro and a local Derby with Blackpool. They're not home and dry just yet.
