Is it now Possible
Easter…two extremely tough games…possibly the toughest we had left…6 points. Looking at the fixtures now is it just conceivable that we could win all our games left and reach 108 points? A tall order? Maybe but do we dare to dream? We have the record for the fastest ever promotion in the Championship. People, professionals and managers, saying we are possibly the best Championship side ever, can we prove that by taking the points record? One thing is for sure I don’t think VK will let them go ‘on the beach’ till the last ball is kicked. He wants it. We all want it.
HERE’S HOPING!

Re: Is it now Possible
It’s a very big ask but I wouldn’t rule it out with this team.
I don’t know if we’ve ever been this much better than the rest of the league before.

I think we can remain unbeaten but max points will be tough.

Re: Is it now Possible
Possible yes, do I think it'll happen no, but with this team nothing can be ruled out, we'll certainly break the 100 point barrier, which is an achievement in itself.houseboy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 2:22 pmEaster…two extremely tough games…possibly the toughest we had left…6 points.

Vinny will certainly have them fighting for every point until the end of the season, it's the type of winning mentality he has.

Re: Is it now Possible
To be honest i didn't think we would beat the 100 point mark but we will but 108 is too far i would say .

Re: Is it now Possible
Obviously it's possible.
The question is, is it likely? Well, we'll be doubtless giving it our best shot, but my best guess is that we'll come up just short.
But let's hope the lads do it.

Re: Is it now Possible
We can do it.
Dream, believe, achieve - I know for a fact that VK will be desperate to achieve it.

Re: Is it now Possible
Put it this way, if you had a hundred quid and you were made to back it one way or the other, which way would you put your cash?
I think I'd back us to do it

Re: Is it now Possible
I'm trying to find the toughest game we have left, but I can't see one. Not one of the teams left much about them, I suppose the most challenging has to be Rovers!

Re: Is it now Possible
Really think we need the full version.......
.....Come to Ewood, come to Ewood, it's a place of misery,
there's a notice on the doorstep saying welcome here to thee,
Don't believe it, don't believe it, 'cause it's all a pack of lies,
If it weren't for ******* Rovers we would be in paradise.

Re: Is it now Possible
Toughest match remaining is Bristol C away. Next to last game with every likelihood that we’ll have something to play for and they won’t.
It is definitely doable.

Re: Is it now Possible
I read earlier, in an article about Wrexham, that 107 points would actually be an English professional football record. It's a shame they're already on 103 and likely to beat 107 or we could have achieved the all-time record, not just for the Championship.

Re: Is it now Possible
At the end of the day, I would be ecstatic for us to reach 100 points, what a season.

Would leave 93 points way behind, but still, it's a tall order....Was it 26-15-5 ?durhamclaret wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 5:08 pmAt the end of the day, I would be ecstatic for us to reach 100 points, what a season.

Re: Is it now Possible
I doubted we would do it, that said after last night's second half I think we will.

Re: Is it now Possible
Kompany suggested last night that he’d be using the squad over the remaining games.
As much as I rate several of our bench players, it’ll be real test to pick up 6 more wins using several players who haven’t played much recently.

Re: Is it now Possible
Also the Rovers game will make it 24 unbeaten if we win our next 4 games

You say this. But as good as we were under Dyche if we lost a key player it completely changes the team.agreenwood wrote: ↑Tue Apr 11, 2023 8:46 pmKompany suggested last night that he’d be using the squad over the remaining games.

Now, we arguably have more talent on the bench than in the eleven at times. Benson on the bench last night to come on for foster. Zaroury not even in the squad. JBG and Obafemi to bring on.
