    The run in(current top 3)

    Sorry, tried to post fixtures here with copy/paste, but failed.

    If you can figure a way of doing it, then please do.

    The point highlighted though, is on paper, unfortunately, Rovers have a significantly tougher run in than the other 2..

    I've had a proper look myself now and disagree our run in is any harder than there's.

    We have to aim to win every game. Simple as that.

    It is what it is. Who is the worst kind of side to be playing? A side scrapping at the bottom? Or a mid-table side with nothing to play for? an inform side, of which there are a few? Or a promotion rival?
    Other than Plymouth we have beaten all the sides in the top 10, apart from Wigan. That game is going to be crucial.
    I fancy us vrs our rivals, and I am aware we have dropped some silly points against sides we shouldn't be doing.

    BUT ....we want to go up, so have to try win a majority of the remaining games. I do think we may lose one, but equally I think we will get enough points. Not every other of our rivals will simply keep winning.
    For all the form etc one thing that doesn't get factored in, we are in great form, we are top, and I don't think anyone wants to play us. And unlike 2 of our direct rivals, we only have league games to concentrate on. To stay unbeaten for the final 12 games will be some ask, even with a huge squad, with the quality we have. All the others will have to match this form, keep winning every week, and play extra games. I would much rather be in our position, in form, winning game after game. If we keep doing that, it doesn't matter what all the others do, they wont all catch us.

    In a way, it's quite good that a number of teams have struck form. It increases the possibility of "surprise" results. As long as that doesn't include us, of course!

    Sadly for us, Shrewsbury winning was one of those surprises last weekend!

    Think of the odds you'd have got on Plymouth going up in Oct? When we first played them they where 2nd bottom, now they are in the play offs. Rotherham have made up so many points in a relatively short space of time.

    This is worth a bump.

    Since your nugget, we HAVE won VERY week, other than a draw with Wigan, which kept them behind us.
    So you set this challenge of us 'winning' every week.
    We do that .......and its still not good enough!


    **** me
    well worth a bump

    The ONLY one telling you in all these posts the reason why you are wrong, and we will win, is Mr Emotional himself.

    Mr Consistent
