That game against us is simply huge. Difficult call to make, given teams - witness Doncaster this weekend past - pulling extraordinary results out of nowhere
Only a guess of course, but you would think Bristol have a good chance of wins against Watford, Derby and Barnsley at home. And they would obviously fancy their chances against us with our terrible away record.
Guess they will think they can get something at Forest and Pompey too.
Can see Bristol getting 3 wins and a couple of draws. that would give them 45 points.
Cannot see us getting near 45 points. That would mean 16 points from 10 games. Looking at those fixtures only convinces me further that we are doomed. You have to remember that away we have Southampton, Cardiff and Hull to come and Burnley too.
As others have said, theres a high chance that game is make or break for us. Not only is it a 6 pointer, but if we could scrape a win there to break our bad away spell, could pick up a couple of more away points that could just keep us up. Who knows. It will be such a tense game.
Forest and Bristol will amass more points than us for sure.
That means not only do we have Donny and Pompey to look out for but unless a club like Peterboro' free falls then there is little hope.
With the current coaching and management set up who I suspect will be gone next season (which beggars why we have not at least tried the new manager route at least for that 'honey period' affect Otis is so fond of) we stand little chance of gaining any improvement and certainly not enough to survive.
I'm studying my Sat Nav of league 1 destinations already!
