Two tough tough games with, I believe, Brighton offering the best opportunity of getting something as they are without Glenn Murray and possibly Sam Baldock; the latter through injury.
Positives, I guess are our current form and newly found self belief. Coupled with the fact we have never won at the AMEX (?), one would say we have to win sometime. Real tough ask though.
As for Reading, I think a good result at Brighton will be key. A loss at Brighton and I believe we will lose at Reading.
So a points haul? Fantastic 4 pts, really pleased 3 points, but I think we may have the strength to grind out 2 draws! Which will set us up for Preston home!
What do you guys think??

I said that yesterday's game was a must win and that last minute goal was massive with the games we have coming up.
Brighton and Reading's home form are both outstanding, Brighton have only lost once at home this season and Reading twice.
Brighton are in excellent form and whilst Reading have lost the last two games yesterday was away to Derby where if you look at the stat's they dominated the game and I think they will be looking to get back on track against us.
I am not knocking our achievement's in winning the last 3 games but 2 of them have been against teams which are in absolute meltdown, Bristol City having lost 8 in a row and Burton 7 of the last 8.
These two games will be a different kettle of fish, I would take any points as an absolute bonus but realistically can't see us getting anymore than 2 at best if we could somehow grind out 2 draws as you said.

I'd be happy with 2 or more. 2 tough games which make that late goal yesterday even more important

If we play ANYTHING like we did yesterday were going to get absolutely stuffed. It was so dire yesterday, league 1 stuff at best.
Last two games have been against Bristol who are in free fall and Burton who are shit. I'm by no means saying we can't get at least a point but we're going to need to up our game dramatically and learn how to string a few passes together asap.
What we have got with Warnock if not silky football, is the ability to never be counted out.

I agree with you nubbsy.
If we get two points or more from those two games I would be absolutely delighted!

A big fat zero. It's about keeping our goal difference down to as little as possible
Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:21 pm
I think we'll do well to get a point from these games. I would guess betting odds would point to us getting nothing, so any points gained would be an unexpected bonus for me.
Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:39 pm
I would be happy with one point.
Sun Jan 22, 2017 1:42 pm
2 draws would be good

I'll be happy when they are out of the way.

Agree with those who said any points would be good as 2 tough away games on the head and we haven't been brilliant although 3 from 3 wins must be good for confidence going into the games.

This ^^^^^
2 loses won't be too bad providing those below us don't win.

Two away games and two points would be great. (baring in mind one if them is a game in hand).
Sun Jan 22, 2017 4:48 pm
Two points would be great,especially with one game being our game in hand
Sun Jan 22, 2017 7:40 pm
I think we can pinch a win at reading, I can't see any hope against Brighton although stranger things have happened. But as pointed out earlier, Warnock has a nack of keeping teams in the match so we do have half a chance. Might have been awful Saturday but the best chance of points against either is to make it just that. Seen more goals and attacking play under Warnock than previous two managers so can forgive some ugly matches. He does the best with what's at his disposal. Tough week ahead.

I would be happy with one point to be honest and I think that could happen at Reading.
However, I think we have an outside chance of winning at Brighton which would make us really confident and could push us on to beat Reading and get the six points.
However, I am stupidly optimistic when it comes to football. That's why I am shit at betting.

We should not fear these teams but as Warnock says just "give them a game".
If we get 2 points thats 2 points more than most teams will pick up therefore 2 very valuable points! 4 would be amazing and 6 would be incredible but by no means impossible!
If we somehow ground out a win then we could go to Reading with a real sense of confidence. You have to take it a game at a time and go to Brighton hoping to nick something.
If you think of games in the league like shots in a Snooker game Brighton is like a shot to nothing, its worth just playing it safe and if it we lose just keep the score down. A win could end up leaving teams below us snookered!
