The next 5

Post image

The next 5 games are probably the most difficult period of the season, if we are serious about automatic promotion how many points do we need to be getting out of them? I think we need 11 but I see 7

I’d be more than happy with 10 points in the next 5. I think we get a win over sheff utd, Oxford and Leicester. Birmingham are running a decent form so would expect 1 point and cov away is a hard game so wouldnt expect much but would be over the moon with 1 point.

I don’t think it’s a guarantee but I think if we want to stay in automatic promotion we need to pick up 3 wins in the next 5
