Massive week ahead for Town on 08:25 - Mar 27 with 2031 views | christiand | MM seems to be retreating back in his shell, so is more keen not to lose than actually go for 3 points. Imagine both games will be dreadful to watch, with poor quality on show. I think each match will end in a draw and we're still very much in the mire. | |

Massive week ahead for Town on 08:26 - Mar 27 with 2021 views | Dennyx4 | Think we need to win at least one of them - 3 points minimum for me, would want 4 though. | | | |
Massive week ahead for Town on 08:29 - Mar 27 with 2008 views | The_Romford_Blue | I have a terrible feeling about the Brum game but a good feeling about the Wigan game So I'll go 3 | |

Massive week ahead for Town on 08:34 - Mar 27 with 1993 views | Bluebell | I think a lot depends on who is fit. If Didzy and Lawrence are actually injured and not just withdrawn from International games, we will struggle. With just Pitman, Sears and Moore as our striking force, where are the goals coming from? Are there any lads from the academy who can step up? I would like to say we can get 4 points from the two games but I think that is my heart speaking and not my brain! | | | |
Massive week ahead for Town on 08:40 - Mar 27 with 1973 views | Kieran_Knows | 2 points. 1-1 draw in both games. | |

Massive week ahead for Town on 08:47 - Mar 27 with 1943 views | Steve_M | Four. Two or three and we'll just prolong the agony, whereas four - or even six - lift us far enough away from that remaining relegation place. | |

MM has made the point numerous times that it is better not to lose points than to go out to win and actually lose the game. Hence I anticipate the next two home games will be a matter of not loosing no matter how ugly the football is | | | | Login to get fewer ads

Issue is that when we go behind we don;t have the set up to take the game to the other team. Playing for a draw at home against a relegation rival pretty much sums it all up. | | | |
Massive week ahead for Town on 10:30 - Mar 27 with 1780 views | LimitlessBlue | 1 point for me - nowt against brum, a bore draw against Wigan. | |

You realise Hoppy is the TWTD comedian. He won't like it. | | | |
Massive week ahead for Town on 11:10 - Mar 27 with 1650 views | Moisha | If we win Saturday we will take 6 points, we will beat Wigan. First back to back wins of the season. We will then be safe and start planning for next season, MM will confirm he is leaving!!! | | | |
6 points, goals galore.... on 11:11 - Mar 27 with 1645 views | Bloots | ....and free flowing attacking football. There'll be songs constantly ringing from the newly energised fans, season ticket renewals will see a massive upsurge and the world will be a truly wonderful place to be. Sweardown. | |

Sorry that was a bit of an exaggeration. When I say 'bit' I am telling a huge porkie! [Post edited 27 Mar 2017 11:39]

Massive week ahead for Town on 11:31 - Mar 27 with 1575 views | IpswichKnight | I'm hoping for 6 but fully admit I'm being very over confident especially as Mick will grind out draws at every opportunity now. It will be a terrible game on Saturday two teams with zero confidence and form battling it out. If we go a goal behind were stuffed! | | | |
Massive week ahead for Town on 12:27 - Mar 27 with 1480 views | Mach_foreignBlue | 2 draws. Little chance to win these matches when playing with 7 defenders. [Post edited 27 Mar 2017 12:28]

Massive week ahead for Town on 13:51 - Mar 27 with 1333 views | J2BLUE | Six or two. Win the first game and McCarthy will surely see a decent opportunity to put it to bed. Draw and he will go into the Wigan game nervous and set up to defend. Lose...well...I don't know. These two games really are massive. It looks extremely tricky if we only take 1-2 points from them. The ideal scenario is to score an early goal against Birmingham, settle the nerves and MM to understand we can't then shut up shop. | |

Massive week ahead for Town on 14:22 - Mar 27 with 1289 views | King_of_Portman_Rd | 6 Points.. Home matches against sides lower than us have never been our strong suit but think we'll do enough to edge out a pretty comically poor Birmingham side 2-1 and then go into the Wigan game and repeat the same trick | | | |

Although, it's worth noting that against Cardiff he did try to be more positive - he swapped the back 5 for a back 4 and brought an extra striker on at half time. And we got hammered at the back as a result. I suspect he'll revert to a more defensive approach again - it seems to be the only way we can stay in games. Then rely on Lawrence to do something with the scraps he gets. | |

And the season before, swap Murph for Fraser. Bit of a pattern emerging! | |
