Remaining fixtures.....

[costa_blanca_white]

These are our remaining 15 fixtures, I reckon that we need 9 wins & a few draws to have a decent chance of automatic promotion but where are we getting them from:

Brentford (A)
Bristol City (H)
Reading (H)
Boro (A)
Hull (A)
Huddersfield (H)
Cardiff (A)
Fulham (H)
Luton (H)
Blackburn (A)
Stoke (H)
Swansea (A)
Barnsley (H)
Derby (A)
Charlton (H)

10 of those teams teams are currently outside of the top 10 & I see no reason why we can't win at least 9 of the 15 matches B)

[Ozwhites]

So were Wigan ! :D

[WTF11]

Prediction :-

Brentford (A) - Loss
Bristol City (H) - Draw
Reading (H) - Win
Boro (A) - Draw
Hull (A) - Draw
Huddersfield (H) - Win
Cardiff (A) - Loss
Fulham (H) - Loss
Luton (H) - Win
Blackburn (A) - Draw
Stoke (H) - Draw
Swansea (A) - Draw
Barnsley (H) - Win
Derby (A) - Loss
Charlton (H) - Win

21 points, 76 for the season, scraping into the play-offs, and we all know what happens then.

And I think I'm being a tad optimistic about some of the draws. You have to go down as far as 14th in the table to find a team performing as we are at the moment over the last 5 games, those down to 8th much better.

[Rev72]

Current form suggests we will do well to win half of them fixtures which would give us 76 points-ish.

So that would see us in the play-offs.

Great.

[norfolk white]

Shoot me now

[Rev72]

Yeah..thinking about again..it looks like iv'e picked the wrong week to quit crystal meth.

A good day out is Wembley 😜

Really good set of fixtures to finish with. I would only expect us to come up short against Cardiff or Fulham. I think we will beat Brentford & Bristol. Don't see any other matches where we would expect to be beaten.

If we beat Brentford and Bristol i think you're right.

[norfolk white]

Someone needs to shut the Brentford managers bug mouth, shouting the odds about tomorrow night, hope it's us.

Just watched him on Sky sports, very full of his squad ( Maybe rightly so at present), We should be afraid says he, well Boro were very unlucky Saturday, we will see.

[costa_blanca_white]

So far so good !!!

[Pacaman]

Said on another post that our remaining fixtures stack up well compared to our competitors. Can’t be underestimated and I just hope we are promoted before the Derby away fixture. If we are, what a celebration there will be at theirs

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Will win 10 of those remaining. That should be enough for 2nd at least

[Jezleeds]

[QUOTE=costa_blanca_white;39431305]These are our remaining 15 fixtures, I reckon that we need 9 wins & a few draws to have a decent chance of automatic promotion but where are we getting them from:




So we need 28 points to get the average for 2nd place, or 31 for a much better finish that will be a guarantee. Where will we get them?

Conservative reckoning below on these - gives 27. One draw turned to a win and we get 29 points. Beat Fulham at home and one other away that i've gone with a draw and we're there with something to spare.


Reading (H) 3
Boro (A) 1
Hull (A) 3
Huddersfield (H) 3
Cardiff (A) 1
Fulham (H) 1
Luton (H) 3
Blackburn (A) 1
Stoke (H) 3
Swansea (A) 1
Barnsley (H) 3
Derby (A) 1
Charlton (H) 3

I think 26 points will do it so 8 wins & 2 draws !!!!

[Rev72]

10 wins..that would do it.

[costa_blanca_white]

10 wins..that would do it.
Correct Rev B)

[norfolk white]

Cardiff away difficult, plus many banana skins in that lot, but then other competitors have iffy run ins, many against each other.

[george_kaplan]

Every other team looking at the remaining fixtures will pencil us in as a difficult game and play out of there skins. Every game is going to be a battle. We get our confidence back and remain focused on each game as it comes along. Hard to put one team above the other.
Let’s get it done. :)

[WTF11]

[QUOTE=Jezleeds;39436213]

Ok first one down!

I'd like to think we get points from every match, just cant see it (not against Derby, Fulham (even at home), Hull (maybe a draw, but a win?))

[george_kaplan]

Durty durby away.....agree with pacaman seal our promotion down there, sweet justice/revenge :) who knows.

Like to see us getting back to clean sheets once more. Playing clubs towards the relegation zone with few games to left, always difficult and I see teams in trouble resorting to.....desperate times desperate measures always the battle.
Next four teams will play there guts out and more, Fulham depending how it stands will be up for it, interesting to see how we look after that lot.

[spaldy]

I think we must take 3 at boro. I think Blackburn will be a loss so we need the 3 at boro

[YEBOAH01]

We're going up, it's our time!! MOT!!

[spaldy]

Rev,

next monday. That should be right at 10 games and they'll give him 10 games. Either that or they'll delay it another couple of weeks and then non ban him.

whatever can do the maximum damage to us.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

6 points from the next two games and if other results go for us and we should have an 8 to 10 point gap

Time to go on another run.

I felt for Bamford at the weekend - he seems to want to avoid being in a position to miss.

Good as his build up play is surely time to give a natural striker a go!

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Ps we are going up

[CromerWhite]

Ps we are going up

Amen

[spaldy]

Conspiracy theory time.

Some added pressure for the last fixtures.

If the Covid-19 virus breaks out and they declare is a public emergency they probably shut down the season. The kill rate in Iran is now over 10% and some concern on mutation. who knows how many have died in China. The FA could lock up the table as it stands at that time.

even if it isn't declared an emergency but it breaks out in a teams locker room you could end up with a vastly depleted team. A big deal if the other team has not been hit.

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Three wins on the bounce.

[Jezleeds]

Reading (H) 3
Boro (A) 1 x 3!

Hull (A) 3
Huddersfield (H) 3
Cardiff (A) 1
Fulham (H) 1
Luton (H) 3
Blackburn (A) 1
Stoke (H) 3
Swansea (A) 1
Barnsley (H) 3
Derby (A) 1
Charlton (H) 3

What do others think?[/QUOTE]

Ok so we're ahead of my predictions i'm delighted to say. If we can win the next three (if!) before the Fulham game, that is huge - get a draw at least in that one. That would, by my reckoning, put us 10 or 11 points from promotion with 7 games to play....

[Billyni]

Not even a problem mate, not even a problem.:cool::cool:

[costa_blanca_white]

Not even a problem mate, not even a problem.:cool::cool:

Problem is Hull are without a win in 10 matches & we have tended to give " struggling teams " gifts on a pretty regular basis - hopefully we can stop that trend & come away with 3 points Today.

Let's break that habit then!

[spaldy]

Sounds petty but....

nothing better than to gain automatic and to relegate Charlton the last game.

The smug lying bastaard gets the experience the thrill of relegation.

would be the ultimate karma.

Prediction :-

Brentford (A) - Loss

Care to have a rethink old luv?

S,pose you DID get the Reading result right lol

[Pacaman]

Lol

[LeedsFTW]

The more games we win in this sequence, the more pressure will be on the chasing pack as they run out of matches to catch us.

[WTF11]

Care to have a rethink old luv?

S,pose you DID get the Reading result right lol

Happy to (and less of the "old luv!!). Would like to be wrong on every result I forecast we drop points! (I did get today's result right in the prediction league, just not the scoreline (left that to Andy!)).

[Tichi1]

Rev has a "re-think" every bloody week about his predictions - and is currently top of the leaderboard for Leeds scores this season... nothing wrong with changing your mind.

[Jezleeds]

Reading (H) 3
Boro (A) 1 x 3!
Hull (A) 3

Huddersfield (H) 3
Cardiff (A) 1
Fulham (H) 1
Luton (H) 3
Blackburn (A) 1
Stoke (H) 3
Swansea (A) 1
Barnsley (H) 3
Derby (A) 1
Charlton (H) 3

What do others think?[/QUOTE]

Anyone mind that i keep doing this? I really like it.

[spaldy]

Bad feel on blackburn . Think that may be a loss

Think that striker at fulham could have a big day and we lose

Think we win the rest

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Think we will win at least 7 of the remaining fixtures - though if we play like 2nd half at Hull we could win them all.

[george_kaplan]

I’m in the camp ... as they come (head)

We will win every game (heart)

Last two games, pure revenge sickness ... WINS.

[spaldy]

So true on the revenge factor!

would be so sweet to go up on the last day and relegate Charlton.

just wish that Derby were in the relegation mix.

[Tichi1]

Don't want Charlton to go down myself, Love Lee Bowyer - The Racism thing was from one of his players who reported it to the ref during the game. so nothing Lee Bowyer or the club could do to prevent it. - Lenko is also a West Brom player so do we all hate them to?

Nah, Beat Derby to gain promotion will suit me for the season.

[george_kaplan]

Keep doing it Jez, I like it. :)

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

The Wendies are yet to get their points deduction which will plummet them down there too.

We should win the next two games and if we do we may be top

[whitestomper45]

Keep at it Jez, yes beating Melvyn and His Morris Minors for automatic promotion, ideally Dull get relegated too after their self righteous pre match tweet of last week....Partytime

[Billyni]

Relegation for Villa could mean a spot of bother for them too.

.......XD XD I hear you and feel the knots!! Our hardest opponent’s are ourselves ;D

[LeedsFTW]

9 games left and 3rd place are effectively 3 games behind us points wise.

Said it before, pressure is on the chasing pack as the number of remaining games run out.

[Billyni]

It’s heading towards a special time folks.
Must admit I couldn’t see it a month ago, but sure what the fu ck do I know.
I’m up for a meet when the trophy is paraded .
Maybe Andy will hold my hand in the big city. Kind of scared that the Rev will offer >:)>:)

[asturianblanco]

yeah, time we all started looking at travel arrangements!

[WTF11]

Stop it, stop it, STOP IT! Just think good thoughts, at least until after Fulham, 'k?👍

[coeman]

Also to note West Brom, Fulham & Brentford have all got to play each other again plus Fulham are coming to ours next week. That decreases the points potential for all 3 as only 9 points available from those 3 games in which they play each other as opposed to 18 available had they been playing someone else! If you get me drift? :)

I think they might do that in the Armley venue as standard. :O

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

Beat Cardiff then Fulham and things look rosier.

Government seems to prefer playing games behind closed doors if needed rather than cancelling them but suspect TV companies will have a say too.
