Just a quick glance of the table, I've noticed we've played 16 games, out of which 12 have been against the top 14 sides.

With the upcomming fixtures against some of the weaker teams, it's imperative we start to put some wins together.

All aboard, up the league we go.

It appears with a weak side 'on paper' we perform well

With the upcoming fixtures against some of the weaker teams, it's imperative we start to put some wins together.

All aboard, up the league we go.

Only worry there is that forest tend to play up to the stronger teams and think the weaker teams are a guaranteed three points but if we play like we did in the last 20 Min's of the second half yesterday we should be climbing

Coventry and Norwich away wont be easy games, nor will Sheff U at home. But you're right in saying that Bristol is our toughest game for a while.

We're playing well though and I really don't mind who we play at the minute.

After yesterday, 10-20 mins in i thought we were gonna get tonked but end of the first half anmd second half has filled me with great confidence. Earnshaw and McGugan will be needed though.

We really need to be averaging a minimum of 2 points per game during this period and even that might not be enough.

That really ought to be comfortably enough.

Nice Stat there which I didn't know. Gives me more confidence for the run into Christmas,

 

[Baronvon]

Shame we're usually quite poor around the Christmas period...time for change.

 

[Nick.]

We need to get 3 points from the next game.
And have a good christmas period for once, December looks quite tough with 3 home and 3 away games, and our away form isn't the best!

 

[RedDogChris]

We need to win at least 2 of those away games I reckon at least

 

[Snake]

Erm...we really, really don't. We're aiming for survival, presumably around 53 points. To attain that we need 1.4 points per game for the rest of the season - not an awful lot, really. We need seven points from Norwich, Barnsley and Doncaster for me. Anything from Bristol would be a bonus.

Ten points from six games in December would be wonderful, though nine wouldn't be a disaster. If we could take seven and nine from the two lots of games I'm talking about we'd be on 27 points from 26 matches at the end of December. Which would be lovely, in my opinion. Not brill, probably still in or around the relegation zone, but with a much better chance.
