Stranded Zip tidus_mi2 Not really 7pts clear, if we were to close that 6pt gap it would imply us winning 2 games and them losing 2 so the GD gap of 7 at a very minimum gets reduced to 3.
It’s still a huge ask.
Before the international break they play at Luton, then face Bournemouth and Cardiff.
We have Forest, Brum and QPR.
It is probably unlikely but with those fixtures by 5pm on the 20th, we could even be level with them with them still to visit the Mad Stad. Long way to go still.
Yeah, next three games are crucial for us
Forest have only scored 2 league goals in 12 games against the top eight in the championship, picking up 0 wins in the meantime. If you want to include a top 9 (with Boro) in, that’s 3 goals in 14 games and 0 wins so at the very least, you’d want a draw there, although it really should be a win
Birmingham have the worst home record in the league, with 3 wins, 3 draws and 11 losses (so a result percentage of just approximately 33% in their home games) - again, really got to be looking at a win here
QPR will be a bit more difficult, as they’re on decent form, they’ve had a very mixed run this season with a record of 12-10-12. Still, our record against them has improved in recent seasons as we never used to beat them!
Looking at the other teams games’ before the break, we arguably have the easiest run in as the other automatic chasing teams have at least one hard ish game before, so there’s the opportunity for us to close the gap here. What’s ironic is that we’ve all been cheering on for Swansea to lose recently, yet if we lose on Saturday, we’ll all be cheering them on to win again given they’re playing our playoff rivals
