Decisive December?

Tomorrow sees the start of a very challenging month that could make or break our quest for the top 2. 4 home games though so realistically how many points are we looking at? As a pessimist ill say:

December 2012

Cardiff v Sheff Wed - Sun 2 Dec (W)
Blackburn v Cardiff - Fri 7 Dec (D)
Cardiff v Peterborough - Sat 15 Dec (W)
Leicester v Cardiff - Sat 22 Dec (L)
Cardiff v Crystal Palace - Wed 26 Dec (D)
Cardiff v Millwall - Sat 29 Dec (W)

= 11 points.

Any views?

it wont make or break our aim of a top two


december is important, as is january feburary march and april

Yep!!!

Jumping January, fab February, must win march, advantage April

We play 3 teams in the top group i.e. Leicester Palace and Blackburn.
The way I see it is that on balance the top teams should gain about equal points from the mid table/also rans/bottom clubs. The key to the end season posititioning is therefore how you do against your immediate competitors i.e. how many wins you can pick up against them.
A big month.

the key is getting more points than everyone else

Ok what if we hit January 10 points behind 2nd place? I'd say automatic was beyond us, so can't see how you can dismiss 6 key games as lightly as you have. Lets hope we are 10 points clear of 3rd though

Quite.
Unfortunately you missed the logic of my post.

im not dismissing any games, they are all as important as each other. cant keeping saying each month is the make or break one.

If we are 10 points off top 2 in jan (which we almost certainly wont even if we lose all 6) its still not over, same as if we were 10 points clear.

If we lose all 6 I'd be amazed if we weren't more than 10 points off 2nd. Perish the thought.

well think about it, third are 2 points behind us so would need 12 points from 5 games for us to be 10 behind them

Leicester are well capable of going on a run and wouldn't put it past them, whilst Boro have 3 out of the next 5 at home plus P'boro and Leeds away. All winnable.

Anyway if we get 3 tomorrow hopefully it will set us up for a big month and then we can push on in January still top of the league
