How many points would you be happy with from the next four matches?

[ecc]

I'll be in a minority of one and get shot down in flames but I would take three points from the next four games PROVIDING they come from three away draws. They are mighty tough.

Yes, we'd probably fall out of the top three but I'm pretty confident we'd get back in the mix afterwards.

6. I’m not greedy.

Hi beddie,

I we get three away draws and beat Stoke I would be incredibly happy.

These games are going to be a mighty test.

[ElectroClaret]

I think 5 would be great and achievable.
We have to be confident of beating Stoke on the Turf.

As long as one of the other points comes at Deadwood.

Then, yes, we should get back in the mix as you say.
A run of winnable games coming up in the new year but it sometimes doesn't work out like that.

But if we shape ourselves, we can really make up
some ground.

[ecc]

Fully agree, ElectroClaret.

What I didn't expressly state is that I'd take the three away draws and lose to Stoke if that was the choice offered.

But you're right, we have to think we can beat Stoke. They weren't too good against us.

Cannon's got eight but four game in one match and he's dropped away of late.

[Woodleyclaret]

12 we are going up UTC

[AfloatinClaret]

12 we are going up UTC

I think we're going up too, but I'm also a realist; we'll only win three of the four, so ten points.

[hoosier-daddy]

The only team I'm nervous about playing against is Leeds. And we've already beaten them. All the others we can win.

However, I'd be happy with 8 points.

[CrosspoolClarets]

8 would be fantastic. Got to aim for that. Preserves the 2 points per game. Controversial but I'd prefer the away win out of that lot to be at Bramall Lane, and the draw being at Deadwood, if I had to choose.

[FCBurnley]

8 points

I agree with you, Crosspool.

[Stonehouse]

Beat Stoke and 3 draws would leave us in a good position or 2 other options 1.Beat Bastards and lose the other 3 or 2.lose to Bastards and win the other 3.

[boatshed bill]

I'd be delighted with 12.

[Rowls]

Happy - 4
Satisfied - 2
Delighted - 6

[Buxtonclaret]

D-W-W-W = 10

[Vintage Claret]

12 but 9 will do as long as 3 are against Rovers

[jdrobbo]

Fully agree, ElectroClaret.

But you're right, we have to think we can beat Stoke. They weren't too good against us.

Cannon's got eight but four game in one match and he's dropped away of late.

Would absolutely love us to go for Cannon.

[Claretmisterg]

Wins against Stoke and Rovers. Unbeaten against Sheffield U and Middlesbrough. Never happy with dropping points at home or against Rovers. Never happy with losing. So happy with 8 but hopeful for more.

[Quicknick]

12

[Wo Didi]

Draw at Sheffield United
Win at Middlesbrough
Beat Stoke
Win at deadwood

10 points from 12 including 3 from those wrong uns ba***rd rovers.

Just noticed it's gone 4am and I may have taken a drink or two. My nephew and his pals are going onto a club, I'm going onto my bed.

[Vegas Claret]

if we want promotion we will have to beat those around us, draws are no good.

[gtclaret]

It's funny how some look at the Stoke home game as a given.Its precisely the kind of game that we struggle in.Based on the season so far 0-0 is the most likely result

[morninbob]

I would sacrifice beating rovers if we could beat sheff utd.

[Graham17]

Any more than 6 points is a great return

[Dark Cloud]

Draws on the away games would be great actually, mainly because of the other points it denies our opponents.

[IanMcL]

12

[MT03ALG]

12, not easily satisfied

[Rowls]

Happy - 4
Satisfied - 2
Delighted - 6

Oh no. I'd misread as "next two matches"

Let's go again...

0 - mortified
1 - distraught
2 - very sad
3 - conflicted
4 - disappointed
5 - rueful
6 - approaching content
7 - happy
8 - very happy
9 - smug
10 - delighted
11 - puzzled
12 - ecstatic

8

[jurek]

THe next four games could well decide our season
and whether we can compete for a top 2 place.

So if we are be in the top two then
we need to win at Sheff. Utd
A draw at Middlesboro
Beat Stoke
And at least a draw at Rovers

That's 8 points and I'd be happy with that.
Any more and I'd be delighted.

[ElectroClaret]

Well, there's at least two I honestly didn't expect.

[ecc]

Well, the four games are over.

Yes, Stoke was dire. But delighted with eight points from four games.

[morninbob]

Well, the four games are over.

Yes, Stoke was dire. But delighted with eight points from four games.

And we won the best 2.

[jrgbfc]

8 from 12 with 3 tough away games is a great effort. Two massive home games against Leeds and Sunderland coming up now.

[ecc]

Turning into a boxing match. All contenders, down to four now for the automatic places, will rest, regroup and return to the ring in a fortnight.
