Next four games

[Goldstone1976]

Not even sure 12 will do it and best I can see is 10.

I think we might need 2 of those above us to slip up, that or maybe getting max points v Burnley and Boro

I agree that even 12 might not be enough for autos. Boro are on 2 points a game now. We need to win our next 5 to get to 2 points a game. I think we'll fall short of an auto spot, but we're nailed on for a play-off spot, and would shirley be favourites to gave a Wembley trip, at which point it's a coin toss...

All four games are tricky, but all four games can be won.

Preston could be tougher than many might imagine. Spend a couple of moments checking out their home record so far this season and you see that they aren't easy to turn over.

Big pressure going into every game. I do notthink we can really afford to look further than the next match against Preston. It's now all about winning, it's the one thing that puts pressure on the opposition, Hull, Boro and Burnley must be royally hacked off that we have not folded yet and continue to harrass them at the top.

Saturday's game is a prime example of the problem of predicting results in this league. On the face of it, it should be an away win, PNE have spent a large part of the season in the doldrums but they do appear to have turned a corner, a turn tha tis mostly based on reasonable home form. All three results are quite conceiveable and none would surprise me.

We have to maintain our purpose and discipline, and with what finally appears to be our first choice XI now avaialble I hope we can take care of business at Deepdale.

Preston will be bloody difficult - they've acclimatised to the division gradually, basing their approach on a sound defence. Garner is now scoring goals and they are one of the division's form teams.

In a division with quite a number of form teams..... including us.

Minimum 3 wins from 4 needed.

 

[portslade seagull]

i think these teams will be more worried about us and set up accordingly to combat us

 

[GT49er]

Three points against Preston (won't be easy) please, and then take it from there.

 

[warmleyseagull]

8 wins from last 12 is what we need. So minimum 2 wins, but really need 3. Draws are not going to cut it.

 

[worthingseagull123]

I can only see us winning MK game
