So our next five games are:

Blackburn (away)
Peterborough (home)
Leciester (away)
Crystal Palace (home)
Millwall (home)

With the exception of posh, this surely will be our toughest set of games this season and will help decide our standing going into Christmas and the Transfer window.

Millwall are one of the form teams at the moment and the rest speak for themselves.
So what does everyone seriously think our haul will be?

For me, realistically we are looking 9 points. I would be v happy with 12.

I looked at the fixtures and came up with 9 points myself. To be honest even 9 might be tough looking at that run of games but the simple fact is that if we want to keep ourselves at the top of the pile then we have to keep picking up points regularly even during difficult runs like this.

9 points will keep is sitting pretty. I'd settle for that, but 7 might be closer to the Mark. But what is equally important is where we pick those points up. I mean, 3 points against Palace and or Leicester would technically be a bonus. This makes sense in my head anyway.

Yes, I know what you mean.
I would settle for 6 points if they were against Leicester and CP.

Any more than 7 will be a fair return, but 9+ is what we need to see to endorse our "auto-prom" credentials. By way of comparison, this is what Leicester & Palace face.......

Leicester
Barnsley H
Millwall A
Cardiff H
Hull A
Burnley A

Palace
Blackpool H
Birmingham A
Huddersfield H
Cardiff A
Forest A

Tricky fixtures for everyone at this time of year. The table may not look very different come the beginning of 2013.

Yes interesting - I think we've probably got the toughest festive period.

If we are still top come the new year, I will be very happy indeed.

I'd be happy with 8 but Palarse and Leicester are BIG games... So I'd like a minimum of two draws from these! I'm with the Welshfella Cardiff are topping the league but still not firing on all cylinders.... I hope Cardiff will click in the run up to Christmas and then go on a Reading style rampage How many points should we pick up over the next 5 games? 1525230823

Whitts and Bellamy are due big games. Mutch is back, Smith's coming back. Noone, Kimbo and Conway are fighting for games. McNaughton, Lappin and Nugent all want in. It's time for them to prove thier worth.
