[Albion] 12 points from the next four

[Uh_huh_him]

I don't believe that CH will allow any of the team to be thinking further than the Forest game.
12 points from the next 4 feels unlikely, it also may not be necessary. He famously said that Saturday was not a must win game for us, when Dyche was trying to put the pressure on us.

He has done an incredible job in getting the team focussed and performing for the Burnley game.
Then picking them up off the floor to be able to produce a strong performance away to Brum.

I think we are the most focussed and well prepared of the 4 teams and that is all down to Hughton. His class is really showing now and I believe his calm assurance gives us the edge.
Dyche is struggling to keep Burnley's momentum going, he tried some mind games on us, it didn't work and now the pressure in on him.
Bruce (who had the easiest job of all 4 managers) finds himself with far more pressure than was necessary and now their easy run in has become a series of 7 must win games.
Karanka has the best team and look well set, but has probably the toughest run in, does not know the league and complacency may be their undoing.

We are in good hands.

April 19th is going to be a MASSIVE evening in the promotion race.

And I'll be there

 

[Uh_huh_him]

And I'll be there

I wasn't going to go, as I chose the Fulham and Derby games instead..... Think I may go for the hat trick now though.

What's interesting is that, had Barton been sent off on Saturday then Burnley wouldn't of equalised and now we would be top of the table. These last 6 games are gonna be fascinating. Come on you super seagulls!

 

[Official Old Man]

One game at a time.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

There is little point looking at a run of four games - as the past few days have proved, it's literally take each game (or goal, even) as it comes. Plenty of talk of ifs and buts regarding the Burnley equaliser left a lot of people feeling demoralised, and yet one win later, there is widespread elation.

Take it one game at a time, which is, I'm sure, what CH is saying to the boys.

Boro next 6.......( IMHO )
Preston H.....Win
Reading H....Win
Bolton A........Win
Burnley A.......Draw
Ipswich H.......Win
Brum A...........Win ( 16 pts = 92 )

Burnley next 5 ( IMHO )
Leeds H..........Win
Brum A............Win
Boro H.............Draw
Preston A.........Draw
QPR H..............Win ( 11 pts = 88 )

BHA next 5......possibly 13 points.
So, on the final day....it could start as
Boro..........92
Burnley......88
BHA...........88

Burnley play Charlton, which is a gimme 3 pts. Boro will win the title. Can we keep winning? Will Burnley drop any surprise points?

 

[Bold Seagull]

Players & staff to take it one game at a time, it is important for them.

Fans on a discussion forum - yeah we're looking at the next 4 & dreaming, how can you not seriously be looking at the run in fixtures? We're looking like we have a lot of belief & desire, Forest first of course but you can't help but feel we're capable of a winning run here.

 

[sparkie]

If we have a good Saturday and either Burnley or Middlesbrough drop 2 or 3 points then victory at Forest would put us in a great position.

I'll go one further and say we will win our next FIVE, putting us on 90 points at kickoff v Middlesbrough.

 

[martin tyler]

get what we can see where we are come Derby and Boro.
This league isn't easy and there will still be dropped points byt all the top sides, especially when the nerves kick in.
We still have 4 tough games to play before Derby. I don't see us steam rolling any of them.
Burnley have a still got a couple derbys to play v Leeds and Preston and also have Boro at home and Brum away. None of those will be easy.
Boro next 3 all look winnable but as we have seen its not always like that.
After that I think they have 4 tougher games to play.
It will be bumpy so let's strap ourselves in and enjoy the ride

Burnley will drop points versus Leeds.

 

[Maldini]

Brighton need to be right on the tails of Burnley and Boro when they play each other.That could be the game where they regain second spot if they haven't done it before.I hope we don't go into the last game needing a win.

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Got a bad feeling derby will slip us up again! Hope not though

I really don't see the point of this 'predict all games' malarkey for two reasons:

1. If you look back at results in the Championship, then a decent proportion of them do not go to form.
2. The odds on concurrently predicting 15 results are many thousands to one.

Much more important is how we play, and yesterday showed we have that togetherness and determination to come from a goal down, in arguably one of our hardest fixtures of the season.

More importantly, enjoy the success and the great fun that is this season. Que sera sera.

As useful as their win was for us last night it must have done wonders for their confidence unfortunately

 

[Fungus]

Only need 6 of those 12 points to guarantee a play off spot...

And that's a pretty big consolation, if we lose out at Boro!

 

[One hot tub one ambition]

In the club's 115 year history we've never once won five straight games at this level.

Would be the stuff of dreams, for sure, but can't see it.

*Pedantic Person speaks* 2012-13 Season, we won five straight games against Barnsley, Burnley, Sheffield Wednesday, Watford and Millwall, early on in the season.

 

[Seagulls1984]

I think we get promoted at the Amex with a win over Derby . Think burnley are really feeling the pressure now . Think the games against brum, boro and Preston will kill them off.

 

[Hampster Gull]

We need to be ahead of Burnley going into the last game. I would be confident they will win if they are ahead at that point. We can do this
