Where do you see us picking up points from the games left

I think we can get 26-28 points from that lot. BFS has built a team that wins, not always the way we want, but it gets the 1-0's that will hopefully get us out of this elague. EDIT , do you mean " LEAGUE "

Saints, Reading and Brum are the ones I would be looking at as rivals for the the top two places.

I've got to agree here.
Must win games for us are Reading and Birmingham.
Can see us getting 26 points so add that to our 64 we will end up with 90 points.

QPR 88 pints

One worrying thing that stands out from the final standings of the top two from last season was the fact that they only lost 6 and 8 games respectively. We have already lot 7 games with 13 still to go ! If 92 points (2 points per game) seemingly "guarantees" promotion and without relying on other teams slipping up, then we can only afford to drop EIGHT more points between now and the end of the season. A very tall order IMO

Therefore we simply have to beat the teams that we are expected to beat and avoid defeat against the tougher sides


07/3 Watford (h)3 pts
10/3 Doncaster (h)3 pts
17/3 Leeds (a)1 point
20/3 Middlesbrough (h) 3pts
24/3 Burnley (a) 3pts
27/3 Peterborough (a) 3pts
31/3 Reading (h)1 point
06/4 Barnsley (a) 3pts
09/4 Birmingham (h)1 point
14/4 Brighton (h) 3pts
17/4 Bristol City (a) 3pts
21/4 Leicester (a)1 point
28/4 Hull (h)3pts


Nothing less will do if we want to go up automatically
