Bannan and Bernard should be out which will help.
They're not great at all at home either.
Bernard being out will help with avoiding injuries. Mark Bannan out the game and we've got a real chance at picking up points. Would take a draw, and keep winning at home.
Bannan is injured

2 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. 11 points from their last 8 home games. Go back a couple more and they lost 2-6 to Watford.Not great? They have lost 1 in the last 8 at home.
Won 5 of 16 home games, with the players they've got missing you'd have to say it's a big opportunity for another win
They have lost once at home since 5th November.2 wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat. 11 points from their last 8 home games. Go back a couple more and they lost 2-6 to Watford.
You must admit only 2 wins out of their last 8 home games isn't great. Their last win at home was 1st January against Derby. The other one was against Stoke in December. They won at home once in October and no times in November.
If we win on Saturday we will have won as many games at their place this year as they have.
I think that depends on the fitness of Bidwell to start on the left; can't see us playing Da Silva in a back 4 away from home.I imagine we'll start in the same formation we finished with last night. Fancy a win to keep momentum going

2-1 win.
grimes to score, simms to be assisted by EMC

then hes overdue a goal!The guys got 16 goals in 359 appearances in the Premier League and Championship
Got draw written all over it this has. Which is take but we need a win to keep the playoff dream alive really.
How is the play off dream dead if we don't win an away game in February
Other teams will also have periods of hard games tooBecause we need to win the majority of this block of six. If we drop points here we need to pick them up in harder games like Sheff Utd and Sunderland. We can maybe afford to not win one of the six IMO.

We need to get another 26-27 points at least. As much as you might say the initial block of games present the easiest route to them they are not the only route.
I am just recalling going to watch us play and draw 0-0 at Wigan in March 2023, where Hamer missed a great chance in the last minute. As much as it might have felt like the dream was over at that point, it definitely wasn't.
This is way off the mark. Football never really works that way.
Looking at the form of teams around us and the general quality which we've come up against I suspect the No. of points to get into the POs this year is going to be lower than in years previous. No one us really running away with it apart from the top 4. The rest are in pretty indifferent form.
We'd probably need around 70 points rather than the 75+ which is often the case. Meaning we need to achieve a PPG of 1.8ish.
Other teams will also have periods of hard games too
70pts really means we need 12 from this block of 5 (9 from the next four), 7 from the block of Derby, 3 of the Top 4, Portsmouth, 12 from the last five.
Thats why I think we can only afford to not win one of the next four.
Well that’s the other side is you’re hoping no one else picks up form, which seems unlikely. Ultimately we have 4-6 points to make up once games in hand and goal difference is accounted for. So we need to be that much better than 5-10th. It’s a big ask.
