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.
So how are we suppose to target the bottom teams. Wouldn't this mean resting our best players in the harder games? Not sure that would go down well.
Plus if we target the bottom teams and like last 2 games we only get 1 point from them. Where does that leave us?. Easy to say target those games but there's no guarantee of winning them, don't forget even those other 5 teams in the bottom 6 have better squads than us.
We have to play the strongest team in every game. The championship is all about playing 6-7 games then getting 10 days rest.
