Next 7 games

[joellufcprice]

5 of them are against sides in bottom 6 (Hull x2, Birmingham, Burton, Millwall), other two are Nottingham Forest and Ipswich.

21 points up for grabs, absolutely crucial period for us and one in which we need to do incredibly well, I'd say 18 points is a must, because the run after that is:

Cardiff H
Sheff U A (even if they end up being rubbish, they will always raise their game against us)
Bristol H
Derby A
Brentford H
Boro A
Wolves H
Reading A
Sheff Wed H

An incredibly tough run, luckily some of the better teams in Cardiff, Wolves and Bristol are at Elland Road. Things are looking positive but we need that good momentum and a bit of strengthening in January upfront, at left back and in central midfield.

I was just looking at the fixtures, we need t see off these struggling teams right from the whistle, some of them will up their game and we need to just demoralise them them straight off and get some early goals

The way this league is I wouldn't be surprised to lose the next 7 then win every game till the end of season crazy as this league is .

No reason we shouldn't get a good return though .

One game at a time - and all eminently winnable - winning hopefully breeds confidence which hopefully helps us win which ...

I'm in the way of thinking that teams playing us will think they have hard games coming up.....

9 points from 9 games ... Not good enough...Be interesting to see just how many you get from some pretty tough games.On the other hand if you are going to achieve a top six Finish you would realistically be looking at obtaining at least 17 points from them..

Agree with Joel we need 18 or more points.

I'd put the number at 19 but think we should attack early and hard every game. at this point a draw is effectively a loss. we aren't going to break top 6 getting a point here or there. Go for the win and either win or lose. we aren't relegation material either so finishing 10-15th with a bunch of draws is no better than going for it and losing some.

the next 9 games after that are a bear. we better have some momentum and a whole lot of points going into them.

Take it one game at a time and winning becomes a habit .... look too far ahead and the wheels come off Ashes stylie!

[Rev72]

Wouldn't surprise me if we win the games we expect to lose and lose the games we expect to win

Its a fecking weird division.

[CLIVETHELEEDSFAN]

Wouldn't surprise me if we win them all
