Hears a novel thought. Those other 5 bottom teams will be targeting Rotherham as 3 points. Plus how do you know it won't be Coventry and Norwich which are in the bottom 6?.
I don’t and neither do you. What we do all know is that most football commentators and pundits will say beating teams around you is important. We also know who is predicted to be in the bottom group so it makes sense to see those games as more likely to be games you would target to get points from. We also know that we are nearly a third of the way through the season, probability tells you which teams are likely to be in the group we are in. Lastly I never said we only have to win those games, I am saying that those are the games that at the end of the season will have a big say in where we finish. If you think not getting points against teams like Wednesday, qpr, Huddersfield and Bristol won’t impact us so much, that is fine, it is your view, I do not share that view.
