Cliche time again but there are no easy games and anyone can beat anyone in this fantastic division!
Fixtures always look hard or easy a long time out but context can change
We are on a roll and although performances are scrappy we are becoming increasingly difficult to beat
Next 6 games who knows how many points we get but it will be more now we have Warnock
I think we can get something at Brighton and cause a bit of an upset ....after that who knows as I believe we will have two new first team players by then

On paper those fixtures look like very slim pickings to be had. That said I think that we often seem to perform better when are underdogs, and somehow I expect us to find a way to get 9-12 points starting with 3 tomorrow.
We could realistically lose all 6 here. I suspect we won't , but I wouldn't like to say with any confidence where we will pick up any.
Perhaps Norwich look the most likely?
Ambitious, I like it. Expect the unexpected.
In the 16 Championship games Warnock has been in charge we have only beaten ONE of the top 10 teams, these next six games are against teams in the top 10. Statistics are not in our favour.
If Russel "Pep" Slade was still here, we'd be looking at 18 nqat
I can see us beating Norwich who are awful away from home lately, but Preston have got something about them and, as we struggle so much to win consecutive home games when they are played within a few days of each other, I think I'll go for four points from the two games at Cardiff City Stadium.
I don't see us losing all of the away matches. Funnily enough, we've drawn all four game we've played at the AMEX, but I can see that run coming to an end if the game goes ahead tomorrow with a two goal defeat. It's also a long time since we were beaten at Reading and I can see us drawing there on Saturday. After all of those seasons where we had the Indian sign over Leeds, the roles have been reversed lately and I reckon they'll get their fourth straight win over us, but we might be able to get a point at Derby, who still look a bit frail at times to me - I'll be very happy with anything more than six points from these matches.
Warnock truly will be a miracle worker for all sorts of reasons if we end up with seventeen points.
8 Points for me.
2 wins and 2 draws, 2 defeats. Defeats to Leeds and Derby.
Optimistically 11 points.
Pessimistically 7 points.
So we'll probably get 9 points.
LDWDDL
6 points but still comfortably clear of the relegation zone.
Pessimistic 0. However we have improved greatly with Warnock and I fear so called big teams far less
Brighton 1
Reading 1
Preston 0
Norwich 3
Leeds. 3
Derby 0
Total 8
Less than 15 then!
Two good performances
Two narrow losses
No points
Less than 12 then!
Very pleased to be wrong
This reminds me somewhat of the prediction league* that used to be on here where you'd pick the winner of the 3 play-offs, the FA cup, the Champions League. As people became more and more wrong their choices would turn to red and they would drop down the league.
I cheated by given a range but am still reasonably confident whereas others are already knocked out. Norwich having a mini-resurgence has got me worried though.
*if you did run it then please can we have it returned. I think we missed this last year if not the last two years.
It's still on .....
Think my 9 points is looking more likely - and it's not likely at all really...
Correct
That was based purely on form i.e. 1.5 points per match. I think my next prediction of 16 straight wins including Leeds and Derby is much less likely mind...
Next six games sees four of them at home and I don't think we play anyone in the top six until Easter.
In fact from the 14 games remaining we only have three of the current top six to play.
Nine points from last six games very good.
I'd be disappointed if we only got nine from the next six matches. Every game is (on paper) easier that the last two that we won.
Rotherham H, Fulham H, QPR A, Blackburn A, Birmingham H, Ipswich H
18 points...
24 points from the remaining 14 games giving us a total of 66 for the season & finishing in 9th place
