    I posted Millerstime, 8 games for the Millers in January,
    Bolton home won in league
    Crewe away won in EFL Trophy
    QPR away lost on penalties, in FA Cup
    Fleetwood away - league
    Lincoln home - league
    Cheltenham home - league
    ??????????? home - EFL Trophy
    Crewe away - league

    So we need a fit squad to cope with all the games, & don't need disruption in the ranks.

    What haul of points from those 5 would you class as necessary given the opposition and our aim for promotion?

    13 points, fewer than that would be far from ideal for a team aspiring to win the league. A nice stretch for us if we are 'at it'.

    Small sidenote, I know many were asking when we are playing Shrewsbury in the rescheduled fixture. Not sure if people have seen and it's been discussed somewhere (apologies and ignore if so) but when looking through our fixtures it is on the 1st March 7.45pm kickoff. With the home game on the 19th.
    10 would be a good haul to keep us on track. 3 wins, 1 draw (Lincoln), 1 loss (Fleetwood)

    We better not lose to them again, that would be poor.

    In every good season we have there always seems to be one outlier team that puts a spanner in our works and I've a feeling it's them this season. So much so in fact I might even try to persuade Brin to put a fiver on them

    But surely our management team will have worked out where our weaknesses and their weaknesses are, and will pick a team and tactic accordingly?

    We could be off top come tomorrow (let’s hope them games go our way), we need to concentrate on winning ours games and hope others slip up but we still need to stay calm and not panic AND go into every game like we did QPR ffs (really grates me that)

    I think in the reverse fixture we were just terrible. One of those days where everyone looked in the mirror, including coaching staff, and realised that if we resort to hoofing aimlessly we wouldn't be going anywhere. Largely kept away from that style since, mercifully. Odd blip.

    Can't see us letting that happen again. Fingers crossed.

    Can’t see way we can’t get 15 points from them five games but I’m not greedy I’ll take 13

    The pressure is so tight in the top four so, if we want to go up it has to be the full 15 for me.

    Put it this way, Wigan/Sunderland would be looking for and may well get 15 from that lot going on their current form so we have to push for the same.

    Hardest team I see being Cheltenham.
