December: how many points will we take?

[lizard]

Draw at QPR, Lose at Brentford, Win the rest = 13

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

December: Six games in 25 days.

How many of the 18 available points do you think we'll take?

Sat 5 Dec Charlton h W
Sat 12 Dec Derby a D
Tue 15 Dec QPR a W
Sat 19 Dec Boro h D
Sat 26 Dec Brent a D
Tue 29 Dec Ipswich h W

12 points, maintaining that 2 points per game level nicely.

 

[Perkino]

if we end the year on 48 (2 per game) or more I'll be delighted. If we also manage to remain unbeaten I'll consider giving my wife another baby

Think our first defeat is imminent

W L D D W W = 11

Been thinking that since August !

Our rivals haven't got an easy time either, Derby have it a bit easier.... Burnley have some tough away games, would like Boro and Hull to stay in COC for as long as possible.

And where, pray tell, will you get that baby, without her, to give to her? Seems to me that she would be giving you the baby. Just my opinion.

Boro have the toughest fixtures. They've then got Derby on the 2nd Jan, so that's 6 of the top 8 in their next 7 games! If they are top 2 or 3 come mid-Jan, they'll probably stay there for the rest of the season.

This can't be right because opposition fans keep telling us that WE are the ones who 'haven't played anyone at the top'.

 

[Tarpon]

Think we're averaged just over 2 points a game so far. We keep rising to the challenge, have real momentum & confidence so (despite injuries) I can see this continuing.nSo it's an optimistic 12 points for me: x3wins & x3 draws & into the NY unbeaten (!):

Charlton h = Win
Derby a = Draw
QPR a = Draw
Boro h = Draw
Brent a = Win
Ips h = Win

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Charlton W
Derby W
QPR D
Middlesbrough W
Brentford W ( 4 - 0 )

Top at the half way point, 51 points.

Will consider the 2nd half of the season when we get there.

 

[Eeyore]

I think we just need to get to January in, or close to, the pack. If we can match the number of defeats we have with wins then we should still be in the hunt. This month is the tough one.

 

[Tarpon]

The question was: December, 6 games in 25 days - how many of the 18 available points do you think we'll take?

Half way through - how are people doing?

I (optimistically) predicted 12 points via the results below & still think we'll do v well to achieve this.

Sat 5 Dec Charlton h win
Sat 12 Dec Derby a draw
Tue 15 Dec QPR a draw
Sat 19 Dec Boro h draw
Sat 26 Dec Brent a win
Tue 29 Dec Ipswich h win
