" 18 cup finals "

Sun Jan 28, 2018 11:09 pm

Now that the FA Cup is out of the way, all we have to focus on is the league.

It was a great occasion for the club today, and will have helped financially.

But now we have 18 cup finals, and hopefully we can get top two. I posted a while back that I don't think that will happen, but I hope I'm wrong :thumbright:

Transfer window closes on Wednesday, so here's hoping we can get a signing or two in to help :ayatollah:

The hard work starts now, starting with Leeds away next Saturday :ayatollah:

Spot on, Ned :thumbright:

I just hope the club manage to secure the one or two new players we all know would make a huge difference before the transfer window closes next Friday night

Still talk today of Grabban and/or McGoldrick coming in but again we all know about Neil Warnock and his surprises, so as they say, in the next 5 days anything can happen and we should expect the unexpected!

Hoping for a happy ending, as I really can't see the club (Tan and or Neil Warnock) missing the opportunity in which we currently find ourselves in The Championship :ayatollah: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

It closes Wednesday night, end of the month doesn't it ?

Fingers crossed we get Grabban or someone better, we need a Striker !!!

18 games , promotion form is 2 points a game , 36 points.
But I would take anything between 25 and 30 points . That will give us 76+points, more than good enough for the play offs .
Any more than 30 points I think that would be enough for second place.
It's a big ask.
But if we could get a decent striker and someone who can control the midfield, I think we could sneak second.

As I have said previously, April will be our defining month:

Sheff Utd (A) Need to take a big crowd away
Wolves (H) Need a packed CCS
Villa (A) Need to take a big crowd away
Norwich (A)
Forest (H)
Hull (A)

I personally believe we need to have secured at least a Ply off spot before Villa away otherwise we may not even make Play off on current form.
