Birmingham (a) - draw, it's the sort of game we've been winning but Birmingham's need is greater than ours
Southampton (h) - lose, we don't cope too well with teams that play quick football
Rotherham (a) - win, surely?
Millwall (a) - draw - all the makings of another classic....
Middlesbrough (h) - lose - another home defeat to another side who'll just need to turn up.
Difficult to disagree with your assessment. 4 pts would take us to the heady heights of 60 pts.Quote:

Incidentally it is likely that by 9.40pm Weds we officially cannot be relegated.
If he knows he is staying who knows? I think the only way we play his way with the core we have is 3 center halfs and wingbacks so maybe it is time to experiment. If he is going the players will relax, so we may lose every game.
Wintle and Bowler have been relaxed all seasonQuote:

Can see us winning 2 of Brum, Millwall and Rotherham. Maybe a draw in the other fixture.
Middlesbrough and Southampton will probably beat us so I’m saying 6 or 7 points.
Win 1, draw 2, lose 2. Can’t predict which games, we’re too random for that, probably beat Southampton & lose to Rotherham
Win three may draw one, nine or ten points.Quote:

That's a terrible post.Quote:

My prediction - it'll be underwhelming.
We would win all 5 or lose all 5 that seems to be the usual this season.
Ideally we win all of them but I would rather see at least an attempt of playing some attacking football and the likes of Ashford, J Colwill more involved.
I wouldn't be bothered if we lost every game for the rest of this season but gave the kids some game time and we saw some sort of attacking football. I remember how bad Wales were for years when we had to rely on mainly kids playing for us, but the experience was absolutely invaluable.Quote:

I'd like to see him try something different, if he really does feel that the play-offs are out of reach (well, technically, etc). Why not try out some youngsters, change the midfield around, go all out attack, even? It has to be better than the dross being served up at present. But while the play-offs are still a mathematical possibility, not only does he have an excuse to stick to his guns, but he also has some vindication for it, as he can claim his tactics kept us in touch right till the end.
I'm not sure what his tactics are. At times I can see a game plan and a style - but then it vanishes next match. It has become (after the first two months) very negative/conservative/defensive, with little or no counter attacking.Quote:

If I had confidence Bulut would learn from this season and be a better Championship manager next time around I would be more relaxed about him carrying on - but I don't see it now.
Hopefully we do get to see a more positive approach and some of the younger players involved in the last five games.
