Just been looking. They don't have a match between 17th March and 7th April. Play Weds Friday 17th Weekend after they brought forwards game v Plymouth to one of the FA Cup weekends in Jan Weekend after is JPT final. Either them or Accrington in it (they meet in semi next week) and they should be playing each other in league that weekend so that game gone. In those 3 weeks we play 5 time before they play again (18/21/25/28 Mar and 1 April). Very odd - will go from having 4 games in hand to played 1 more than them.....
That week we play Wycombe Weds Ipswich looks rather large doesn't it? Plymouth week before as well.....
Certainly owe Wycombe a thumping after they embarrassed us earlier in the season. And Lincoln, and Morecambe.
Yes and them! I reckon all of them will be confident of doing the double over us. Hopefully they won’t know what has hit them when we roll them over
Our away form is going to be vital. We've got 8 away games left, and only 1 of those is against a side in the top half of the home form table. That's Wycombe, and even then they're only the 8th best home team. We've faired well generally against teams in the bottom half, so if we can win 6 of 8 away games as a minimum, and try and take points off teams around us at home, we should be in for a good finish to the end of the season.
Current points per game Wycombe would end up on 77 so 78 would get us in. 25 points from 17 games doesn't sound too bad especially as we have 32 from last 14. In that run we have played 6 of the bottom 8 at home though. 8 wins and a couple of draws should do it. If you offered me 6 points from the upcoming 4 home games v Derby Plymouth Weds & Ipswich I'd snap your hand off, esp if that was 1 win and 3 draws.....
Honestly think we might need in excess of 80 points, just to get in the play offs, which is bonkers. Wycombe have hit some serious form recently. Be better for us if Bolton beat them tomorrow I think.
Ipswich could well be the team that misses out on the top 6. They have only won 1 of their last EIGHT league matces. Won 1 Drawn 6 Lost 1 Their only win being Morecambe at home.
We wont because we have them all to play. I still think there's a great chance of automatic if the team and coaches ignore all the outside noise. These games in hand might be a blessing because whilst we're in 6th nobody is talking about automatic promotion. Going under the radar. (Watch us get squeshed by Cheltenham now).
Yes I know but I was talking about those teams who have been to Oakwell and plundered the points like Wycombe, Lincoln and Exeter. Plus Morecambe who might fancy doing the same
