Our bench looked strong today. Now won 3 of the last 4...
Its definitely on.

if it carries on i suspect they would relish the chance of playing for us in the Premier LeagueWe need to keep the nucleus of this group together come summer. That is going to be tough and if it carries on pretty much impossible to keep Hamer, Vik or O hare, enjoy while we can still see them.
According to this, we have the toughest run in of anyone in the league...
What I do like about our run in, is the fact that we have Huddersfield and Blackburn at home. If we can do the business against them it will have the effect of pretty much bringing us level with them (potentially ahead of Huddersfield). A lot of tough games, but potentially also some like Fulham, Bournemouth, WBA, Stoke may have nothing to play for by then. It could be that Derby have effectively thrown the towel in by the time we play them. Last night's result for Reading was a killer for them imo.
This is a more relevant point than just looking at the fixtures and saying they're tough. How much does the importance of the games at the end of the season make? It can be huge. One big positive is we won't be playing any teams fighting for their lives against relegation in the run in, other teams will have to play them.
And by the time we play Stoke and Huddersfield, for example, they could already be out of it, or already guaranteed the playoffs by then so won't be fighting as much. Also by the time we play Fulham they may be already as good as up so may take their foot of the gas a little bit. And this logic can be applied to many other games, as there's bound they be other teams who drop into midtable obscurity by the time we play them, so won't be fighting as much.
So assuming we stay in the mix until towards the end, then the teams you want to avoid are the ones with something to play for in the last 6, rather than a on paper 'good' team. As many teams Peter out at the end of a season once there's nothing to play for.
City's last game in the1967 promotion season...Millwall and we won 3-1 (just sayin')
I looked at our ppg. we are talking 72 pts74 points is around the mark for 6th place. Could be less /more.
24 points from next 14 games. Is still a tough ask. It's about 7 wins..3 draws...4 defeats. Tough ask.
Start with a win against Preston. And it looks doable

I expect we'll get 70/71pts.
And expect 75-77 required for playoffs.
Had us 9th 7pts off playoffs.
I think Middlesborough will replace Huddersfield in that prediction. They are the form team and I think we will either scrape 6th orfinish just outside the top 6

What the hell are losns?A couple of losns or signings in January would have really helped even if it gave us a chance of resting some of the first 11. Very short sighted of sisu when a little bit of investment not breaking the bank could potentially see the promised land of £100 mil plus coming to the club and its investors. This is probably the best chance we have
