And it's the perfect week to get our first win. A winnable game, gets some renewed belief back and confidence in the fans, manager and squad.
Not only that, looking at the fixtures of other teams in the bottom 10.
Preston (24th) v West Brom (3rd)
Millwall (22nd) v Sheffield United (4th)
Hull City (21st) v Middlesbrough (2nd)
Brentford (7th) v Reading (20th)
Rotherham (19th) v Stoke City (18th)
Bolton (15th) v Derby County (6th)
If we do our job, you'd expect at least 2 of those results to go our way, if not 3 or 4. Potentially moves us up to 21st (unless Reading take a hammering and we leapfrog them on GD).
I think we'd then all be a lot happier.
Then up to the international break, the bottom 6 teams have the remaining 2 games:
Preston: Aston Villa (A) & Wigan (H)
Ipswich Town: Middlesbrough (H) & Swansea (A)
Millwall: Forest (A) & Aston Villa (H)
Hull City: Leeds (H) & Sheffield United (H)
Reading: QPR (H) & West Brom (A)
Rotherham: Bristol City (H) & Birmingham (A)
Stoke City: Bolton (H) & Norwich (A)
Birmingham: Brentford (A) & Rotherham (H)
QPR: Reading (A) & Derby (H)
Bolton: Stoke (A) & Blackburn (H)
Lots of opportunities in there for us to climb the table. Win at Birmingham tomorrow is vital, I don't think 2 points from Boro and Swansea is unrealistic either. But all the teams around us have 1 tough game and lots of them also play each other, so points will be dropped at the bottom end. Big 5 or so games coming up for Town, you feel. |  |
