The Next 6 Weeks Or So

Cardiff are terrible

Cardiff are terrible

Mick'll sort 'em though

Mick will.

Forest need that win over Wycome. Psychologically, it puts Forest mid table amongst a very under performing pack.

From there it can change the out look of the season from relegation dog fight to consolidation.

A massive confidence boost.

To me that run of four games at end of feb is critical to our chances. Blackburn, Rotherham, Derby, Luton - if we can take 9 or 10 points from that then it would relieve a lot of pressure as we face the top sides.

I think anything less than 6 would be a disaster.

Wycombe - must win
Bournemouth - a draw would be fine
Swansea - just a more competitive performance than last time.
Blackburn - a draw
Rotherham - must win
Derby - draw
Luton - must win

Those last four games are all tricky - but hopefully we will be a better side by then and more consistent - I think we should be aiming for 4 points from them - 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That takes us to 16 which would leave on 46 points - tantalisingly close to the golden 50.

This is obviously forest though so I reckon around 9 or 10 with a lot of draws

Swansea is the toughest one - a point would be a good result.

All the others are winnable, although there could be a turnaround at Bournemouth given the strength of their squad. I’m going for 19 points.

That sounds reasonable.

It’s very difficult / impossible to predict results on a game by game basis.

For context though -

Last 10 games  - 16 points @ 1.6 ppg
Last 15 games - 17 points @ 1.13 ppg

I will go in the middle of that given that it is a tougher run of fixtures than last 10, but countered by hopefully a stronger midfield.

So 11 games x 1.3 Ppg = 14 points.

That would put us on 43 points with 8 games left.

Sounds about right to me.

If we add average for the last 5 we get 10 points @ 2.0 ppg.

It's a good trend and maybe 1.3 is a bit on the conservative side  :cool:

Could lose all of them, but this is my problem, they all look winnable to me for 1 reason or another, prefer a strong finish to the season, i think cautious Chris will probably end up picking up, playing for, holding for draws, though a few consecutive wins could really make the season interesting and well worth the gamble

Yeah but it’s pretty obvious the kind of teams we get points from so applying what you suggest is just some form confirmation basis to support a rose tinted optimism.

After last season’s collapse I’d feel worried even if we need 4 points from the final 6 games to be safe.
