Those five games concern me too.Four should still have very much to play for and QPR is always a tough away game. But if we can keep winning our home games we are in with a great chance now
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
6 wins...?
- Thread starter heathgate
- Start date
We have lost 4 times in 33 games.
Yet you predict 3 - 5 loses in the next 13 ?
That is a massive collapse.

This is a very good point. Of course, 4 points in the next 2 would be very good and although they'd have 2 games in hand (one against the Toon) a 10 point advantage over Hudds would be huge and could have a big affect on them.
Of course, we're BHA and we don't do anything easily so we won't win tomorrow - people are getting carried away after Saturday

Worse ways fella, anything extra is a bonus.
Any team is capable of a collapse anything can happen, injuries, bans can all knock us off our stride...
It is not something I want to happen.

The moral of our fans lifted noticeably while watching soccer Saturday on the concourses which then extended to the inside of the ground shortly afterwards, you don't have to guess the effect on the Huddersfield and Newcastle fans IF IF IF we can do the job over the next two games.

Don't wait for me!
You're a fool to predict the championship.
Boringly true.
Pedant.Actually, we could have the same points but a better goal difference
Huddrsfield play very differently away from home than they do at home. They even alter their team selections quite dramatically away from home. We do as well but not to the same extent.
For that reason I don't think they will pick up as many points as people anticipate. They defend in early parts of games away from home and then chase a winner late on, which they have been getting recently. That might not work for them as much when teams are scrambling for the odd point here and there to stay up.
That said, I am enjoying the football just as much as the league position so the last section of games I expect to be a rollercoaster and at the end I am still as confident of winning the League as I was since about 6 or 7 games in.
I think it was after Huddersfield at home I first thought we could win the League and still do.

Exactly. It would really put the cat among the pigeons so to speak. I would have thought more for Huddersfield than for Newcastle. Given that it appeared they were reeling us in with their amazing run for them to potentially be 9 points behind when they kick off against Newcastle must surely be dispiriting. As for Newcastle even if they did lose tomorrow they could still go 8 clear of Huddersfield if they took care of business. The Terriers cup run has given us an opportunity to really take this promotion challenge by scruff of the neck.
We still have to go out and play well to do it, but at least if we do, we will really be turning up the heat. Very exciting timess indeed!
Just the 11 wins will do if one is tomorrow.

My Prediction (For what it's worth)
Wins... Rotherham, Derby, Blackburn, Brum, Wigan, Bristol, = 18 points
Draws... Newcastle, Forest, QPR, Wolves = 4 Points
Lose... Norwich, Villa (Won't matter at Villa or Norwich as Promotion will be clinched)
22 Points
Total 93 points and Promotion.

I like it, we've got to the betting stage of the season. Where's the wine?

Indeed, safety in numbers. You almost earned a star, but it was a bit too easy.You'd have me no other way!
I'll go with 8 wins, or 7 wins and 3 draws, or even 6 wins and 6 draws. That gets us to 92 points.
Huddersfield need to win 2 more games than we do, plus 1 more draw.
So, if we win 8, they would need to win 10. They have 13 games to do it in.
If we don't win tomorrow night, we are going to have to win atleast 2 away games.

So our fans started behaving better?
That's 24 points + 71 = 95.
