So coming up .. 7 games in 20 days (plus the EFL Trophy game - an utterly ridiculous schedule) .. but thoughts on points?

Fleetwood (a) DEFEAT - Think they might be smarting after their defeat last night
Oxford (h) - WIN - Have to start winning games like this
Hull (h) - DRAW - Hull in very good form
Accy (a) - DRAW - Tough one but by then I wonder how tired legs will play a part in their squad
Sunderland (a) - WIN - I think we can nick something
Rochdale (h) - WIN - Again, have to be winning bread and butter games
Shrewsbury (a) DRAW - Bogey team and so will hope for a draw

So 12 out of 21 - bit less than I'd want - I'd hope for 14/15 to really push us on from here.
 
If we can keep everyone fit, the important thing for me is that you want to avoid defeat against the Cods, Hull and Sunderland who all look like they could be up there at the end of the season.
 
TBH I look at those games and I think they could all be very tight, cos that's the kind of team we are now, hard to beat but struggle to score many. All those games could go either way. Rochdale won 4-0 away last night at Plymouth. Oxford are a bit like us at the moment - their games are all very tight, seem to struggle to score. Sunderland drew with Burton at home. It's the tightest division I can ever remember us being in, I think. I guess the salary/squad caps have affected things. Perhaps for the better?
 
Fleetwood (a) Draw
Oxford (h) - WIN
Hull (h) - DRAW -
Accy (a) - WIN
Sunderland (a) - WIN
Rochdale (h) - WIN
Shrewsbury (a) WIN 17 points
 
7 comfortable wins, 21 points.

We'll win the EFL Trophy game as well. Get the champagne on ice for the EFL double.
 
Just changed my answer to 13-15 as I must confess I thought we'd get little from Fleetwood - hopefully at least another 10 from Oxford, Shrewsbury and Rochdale with a couple of points elsewhere.
 
Agree, it's going to be tight a goal either way will probably decide most of those games.
