I can't see us getting anything from these games, we don't fare well against these sorts of teams.

Definitely lose against Hull, Luton, Sheffield Wednesday and Millwall.

Aging like milk thus far. Eustace continues to defy our recent history.

A reverse Merce?

We'll lose every game for the next two years.

In typical football fan fashion, the longer our run goes on the more nervous I'm getting, it's the hope that kills you, plus the impending January transfer meltdown over the horizon that I can't seem to get out of my mind. Trying to be realistic and not get carried away.

It feels different with JE at the helm though, Trav, Hyam and Batth and McFadz being leaders on the pitch, scoring all kinds of goals, defending like lions and blocking shots like the Hughes days. 

Almost want a hard fought defeat soon then we can regroup for them lot at home - anyone else feel that way?

14 points from those eight games would be a nice haul.

Win and a draw from Hull/Sheff Wed

Win and a draw from Luton/Millwall

Win and a draw Sunderland/Hull

2 draws Leeds/Burnley.

Would keep us nicely in contention moving into the New Year.

 

2 points ahead of schedule.

16 points would be even nicer than 14.

And 17 would be even better than 16. Id tolerate a defeat at Leeds if we could beat our 6 fingered neighbours.

Probably put the kiss of death on it now.

To be honest I'd suffer losing 3 or 4 to guarantee beating the Dingles.

Have to disagree on that!

I look at it the other way round. If you could guarantee automatic promotion now but had to swallow a 0-9  home defeat by the Dingles I'd take it.

That's a tough conundrum

You are right in every sense of the imagination......but 9-0 to that lot isnt even worth thinking about

It was in the context of 'the next 6 games'. Promotion wouldn't be guaranteed within those parameters. Regardless, I'm not sure I'd like that lot to inflict our record home defeat on us...

I'd rather we got relegated than that.

I was exaggerating somewhat to illustrate the point.

But in all seriousness if they absolutely thumped us at home but we went up ** - who cares? I certainly wouldn't.

** Especially if they didn't.

I think you're on your own with that one son.

I’m loving how wrong this is becoming 😁😁

[Aqualung]

Safely navigated game 3 of the 6.

Great performance today. Well done to all.

Shut up, you'll jinx it.

[Aqualung]

Ah! Well. 

All good things come to an end I suppose. But surprised it came at the Den where we've done rather well in the past. 

Move on to Sunderland at home and hopefully a better performance than today's.

If we come out in a good position after these six games I will start to believe......

But also it's worth saying at the same point in JDTs first season (i.e. 24 games in) we were 3rd so it's hard to really feel that certain about anything. In the Championship you are always only one death spiral away...

This shows just how much stronger the league is this season, and just what a great job Eustace is doing. There are 4 teams this season already on 43 points or more points having played 2 games less.
