We will have 5 of the next 7 at home.
Get something at the Den and we will have a really good chance to make sure we are in the mix for the end of season excitement
Next 8...
Millwall, Brentford and Ipswich away
Bolton, Boro, Bristol City, Birmingham and Barnsley at home.
All bees, where's Eric?Quote:

Aah.. .. Boro is only half a bee :biggrin:Quote:

Having said that we have a chance to reinforce our good home form. Very few teams will fancy playing us bullies at CCS, so yes, we have a great chance of reinforcing our playoff place. Auto is probably beyond us, IMO.
Millwall are a tough but to crack away from home (they played really well down here as well). But saying that I think we will beat them.
I think we’ve got over our blip and will go on a good run now.
Millwall away is going to be a big test. They’ve taken points off every team in the top ten, apart from Fulham. A point would be a good result but three points on Friday night would make the weekend much more enjoyable.Quote:

We have a record of 3 wins in 6 games against teams starting with a B (discounting Middlesbrough but including Brentford, not that it makes any difference). That's an average of 1.5 points a game.
I confidently predict this run will continue identically, so over these 5 games against the Bs, we'll win 7.5 points exactly.
There is a joke about playing B sides, or something, but I forget what it is now.
That joke is a classic.Quote:

Not such a good thing after recent Cottagers and Lilywhites’ debacles??
Just saying.
Funnily enough I think Villa are more vulnerable than Derby. I certainly wouldn't want to play Fulham in the play offs. Sessignon guaranteed at least 2 goals.Quote:

Imagine if Villa and Fulham had started just okay instead of badly.
I am the expert of European wasps and the sounds that they make
I'm sure the team know what they need to od, and the lure of Prem football will concetrate thier minds.
But for me, we have to beat derby and Vile away and obviously smash the wursels.
All the wins won't help if we dont beat the first two mentioned.
Beating wolves in April won't change the champions but it might keep us safe
I'm most amazed that out next 5 home games are all against 'B' teams
as long as they don`t bring their A game.
We have got to go for second place,playoffs are a lottery which we won’t win, 21 points from next 7 games will put us second!Millwall are also playing Rochdale in FACup tonight so great chance of 3 points!
They play one another next week so can't both keep their 100% records. Villa have the small matter of a Bluenose derby first though!Quote:
