“ Games until next international break / where will we be? “

We have just four matches now until the final international break of the season, when the UEFA Nations League starts.

Where will we be by that point in your opinion, and how many points will we pick up?

After that, there will just be eight matches remaining in the regular season with no international breaks.

I have included all of the current top five’s fixtures during this period.

MATCHES BEFORE NEXT INTERNATIONAL BREAK IN MARCH 2018

Cardiff City

Brentford (a)
Barnsley (h)
Birmingham (h)
Derby (a)

Wolves

Reading (h)
Leeds (a)
Aston Villa (a)
Burton (h)

Aston Villa

QPR (h)
Sunderland (a)
Wolves (h)
Bolton (a)

Derby

Fulham (h)
QPR (a)
Nottingham Forest (a)
Cardiff City (h)

Fulham

Derby (a)
Sheffield United (h)
Preston (a)
QPR (h)

Given that we have Birmingham and Barnsley home, if we want automatic we need to still be in second place.

I can see us wolves and villa getting roughly about 7 points each so no charge there but a lot tougher for derby and Fulham so maybe gain a little.

Cardiff City - 10 points, honestly believe we can beat Derby on their turf.

Brentford (a) - Draw
Barnsley (h) - Win
Birmingham (h) - Win
Derby (a) - Win

Wolves - 7 points

Reading (h) - Win
Leeds (a) - Draw
Aston Villa (a) - Loss
Burton (h) - Win

Aston Villa - 10 points

QPR (h) - Win
Sunderland (a) - Draw
Wolves (h) - Win
Bolton (a) - Win

Derby - 4 points

Fulham (h) - Loss
QPR (a) - Win
Nottingham Forest (a) - Draw
Cardiff City (h) - Loss

Fulham - 8 points

Derby (a) Win
Sheffield United (h) Draw
Preston (a) Draw
QPR (h) Win

We will be right in the top 2 mix

Derby and Fulham will be out of reach if we pick up a decent amount of points could be a 2 team race for the run in unless wolves lose 2 of those 4

The weather might play it's part this weekend .
