How many league games do you see us winning in October and November?

You are right in that you say it is not that important to win a game against the best side in the league. If that is what Leicester are.

If other results go in our favour it wont matter so much. The point I was trying to make is that maybe the game against Leicester has greater significance coming when it does? Hopefully we will get a good run of results and it will be the springboard for promotion? But if we lose and previous results havent been good. Maybe it will be a time when the fans realise we wont be geting promotion? I hope that NsN and ZR are right!

Maybe, I really think we will struggle to get promotion this year - the side is still gelling but think we are going in the right direction. Whether or not we gel in time to get to the play-offs this year is anyones guess.

I think you have a point, at a time when we are looking for form it would be good to get our first home league win against Leciester - I just hope we dont put too much emphasis as they are a good side and will certainly finish in the top two. I hope they are right aswell though!

Fazz62, you say you hope im right. But then i think we're going to lose most of next month. The reason i put us down to beat Leicester is that its typical football that if you lose to shit teams, you then beat the good ones. Thats all.

Leeds Away - WIN
Hereford Home - DRAW
Peterborough Away - LOSE
Hartlepool Away - WIN
Leicester Home - DRAW
Millwall Home - WIN
Carlisle Away - LOSE
Huddersfield Home - WIN
Stockport Away - LOSE

14 out of 27. Not bad, not great.

your optimistic!

The Albion have always been the same.

Best example to my mind is when we beat Notts Forest back in '79 1-0 and beat their unbeaten record. No one gave us a hope in hell at the time.

3 wins, 3 draws, 3 defeats. Not THAT optimistic is it? Can't say I'd be overwhelmed by that return!

Neither would I at the start of the season, but on current form id WELCOME it!

Exactly my point. Win 1-0 at West Ham, Lose 1-0 at home to Burnley week after.

Maybe an even better example was the year we reached the FA Cup Final in
'83 but ended up getting relegated! Although it was a sequence of results rather than one-off games

Call me sad, but I prefer supporting a team through its "ups and downs"
such as The Albion. Rather than a team that might be wining a trophy most years running.

A difficult run of games. I can't see us winning more than three or four of the next nine (Hereford, Huddersfield and Stockport).

Where do you see us picking up much-needed wins and are you worried about the next two months?

Leeds Away lose
Hereford Home win
Peterborough Away draw
Hartlepool Away draw
Leicester Home lose
Millwall Home win
Carlisle Away lose
Huddersfield Home win
Stockport Away

draw

P9 W 3 D3 L 3 points 12

so we will be p 18 w 5 d 8 l 5 23 points and about 14th
