9 points from the next 3 games, and we'll all be feeling a lot cheerier about our lot.
All tough games against teams in half-decent form, but ultimately all winnable games.
Will be a good marker for the play-offs.
That's two consecutive days of me starting a thread with a positive outlook. Time for a lie down.... |  |

You need your Weetabix Pat.
I can think of a few supposed winnable games this season that we have failed to win and arguably easier than the ones we face in the next 3 games. Saturday looked like they had finished the season and were just going through the motions. Still, I like your positivity and belief in our manager and players to lift themselves. |  | | |

Coventry will be a big test.
They are a team that have proven themselves in the Cup and are on fine form.
I suppose we have to be solid and not give away a stupid early goal. They may have skilled players but if our team gives 100% and holds and frustrates them, then we can perhaps pinch a goal on the break. For sure the longer it goes without them making a break through the better the chance we have of gaining a much needed point and with a slice of luck even 3.
Coventry are not unbeatable and Saints need to approach the game with a positive attitude. We are at home and we need the crowd roaring us on for this fixture.
A win and we can really believe in not only reaching the play off semis but even going to Wembley.
Coventry is the first big game of many in the coming weeks.
There will be ups and downs but lets try and enjoy it. | | | |

Given the present form of the teams in the Champ, RM's delusional tactical set ups, the sudden (but entirely expected) shortage of players willing to make an attempt on goal is SA is not in the side, are we really expecting three wins - and will it make any difference if we get them?
Playing teams with something to play for at this time of the season is always bad news. If our players accept that playoffs are inevitable, does that reduce their effort by a small amount?
Two of the three teams probably still think they can make the playoffs. Coventry in particular seem to be playing well. If we come out of this with 6 points, I'd be happy because then we are pretty much guaranteed a play off place.
I'm done with feeling "cheerier".
The team is not good enough to play as RM thinks they should but he's too stubborn to make alterations to allow for that.
Now that we are pretty much play off bound regardless how about we use these three games to convert possession into shots and see what happens? | | | |

I'd be shocked if we got six points from the next three let alone nine. In fact i'm expecting four as I think Cov will beat us. |  | | |

At this moment in time 4 points from 3 games seems a good return |  |

Blimey.
And people accuse me of pessimism.
Still, with our points total, I think we should manage to finish above 17th fairly comfortably. | |

Alas, I conceded defeat on that a little while back.
Middlesbrough and Watford also appear to be struggling a little to get the two automatic spots as well.
I did say Ipswich were dark horses to go up, mind….. | |

It is good when you get proven wrong in a positive way. | | | |

Well, shows how much I know about football!
Humble pie at Chez 901.
I've said elsewhere that the team (certainly v PNE) was forced upon RM but nonetheless a few wins and a stumble elsewhere and we're a lot closer to the top two than I expected. | | | |
