Sheffield United away
Stoke at home
QPR at home
Swansea away
WBA at home

Lost 1 won 1 drawn the rest. Should have won another but for utter incompetence from clueless officials.

An 'easier' run of games coming up.

Although definitely not easy, but WBA are a top championship side. We're not coming up against teams like that each week.

Next games

Birmingham away
Luton at home
Derby away
Peterborough at home
Huddersfield away
Middlesbrough at home
Hull at home
Barnsley away
Millwall at home

Not easy games but some teams there nearer the bottom than the top of the table.

If we play like last night with that relentless pace and energy, well cause each side a problem. Just need moments of quality in front of goal.
 
It’s been a very tough run of games amd we can come out of it taking a lot of confidence with how we have coped with some very challenging opposition.

Hopefully an opportunity for our attacking players to step up over the coming weeks and to capitalise👍

When I look at that list I feel positive.
Obviously football never plays out that way, but they’re all worse opposition than the teams we’ve just faced.
Going to be very interesting December. The Nobbers always hark on about seeing where we are come January. Looking at that list I think come Jan we will be in or around the play offs

27 points from those games will see us safe.
 
This is the time of the season to get a good run of results and margins our way, and secure enough points for survival. Depending on the outcome, I hope we can challenge for one of the 3 PO-places behind WBA.
 
I think we’ve had some very good results, barring the QPR game.. I believe every result has been true to performance. However, we have to start becoming more clinical and scoring goals. But that will come, no doubt. Every team goes through a rough patch in terms of goals, every season. We’re still picking up points which is the main thing.

I wonder how the results of those will impact on the JTW.

If we do well and get say 18 pts, that would leave us handily placed and perhaps the owner may see that window as a real chance to bring in quality player(s) and give the p/o.

A return of say 12 and I don't think we'd be doing much in the window- no need.

Yeah it'll be interesting, if TJJ isn't deemed good enough a prem loan striker, midfielder who is may be on the cards.

Attacking midfielder, striker for me.

Both Derby and Nob End are nearer the bottom of the division and both have beaten Bournemouth who, until the last few weeks, hadn't been beaten at all this season.
Sorry to quote the old football cliche but we should just take one game at a time.
Admittedly we have more of a chance of beating these teams and I'm sure Critch will be planning as we type👍🏻
 
It is an odd quirk that of the next 9 games all apart from Huddersfield (1 point ahead) are below us. The bottom four are also included in that list.

These easy games coming up. Results midweek.

Birmingham got a point at Cov
Luton drew at Forest
Derby drew away at Fulham
P'boro got dicked at T'rovers
Boro managed to gift the game to Nob end
Hull won
Barnsley got beat by Swansea
Millwall drew with Bournemouth.

The only games that I would suggest should be "easy" are Peterborough and Barnsley but both are away.
I would hope for at least 4 wins from those fixtures but none will be easy😬

Never said easy, said they aren't as good as West brom and table positions prove that.

They aren't easy but id rather play teams lower down that those at the top, although we've done well so far.
 
A good return from that run of games against team with little or no weak links. This next run will be easier but granted not easy.
 
Just shows how tough this league is. Of the last 3 home games Stoke were the worst IMO yet came away with 3 points. We have to start winning home games then again I am happy with away form and points haul. In Critch we trust.
 
All our games are close and can go either way. Tomorrow is no different really. Until we become more proficient in an attacking sense we will keep games tight and hope to nick a win. Or a draw at worst.

Not as good as west Brom and both brum and the hatters have turned us over.

Not good is it.?
Hopefully start the comeback at derby 🤞

Nope not so far but certainly easier games to domiante the ball etc.

We played well in the last 2 games on the ball but unfortunately when you cant finish moves off or hit the target a lot, we're not going to score many.

All about that finishing, creativity.
