The Championship

[Paplane]

I keep reading that all we need to do is pick up 2 points per game from all of our last games. I think it's going to take more than that. The other teams around us just keep on getting decent results. For example, it wouldn't surprise me if Boro went to Millwall on Saturday and won. Luton got beaten at Boro on Saturday and then went to Coventry and won last night. Great win that was for them. Sheffield got schooled by us on Friday and then stuffed Boro.

It just seems that we're incapable of outscoring our rivals as a group. There's always a team on a run. We're going to need to be the next team going on a winning run.

You realise every one of those events described apart from Sheff U (as we didn't beat them) was a win and a lose? Ie 1.5 points a game! 

Teams repeatedly taking points off each other is better than 4 teams getting on a roll at the same time and pulling away.

Bournemouth look to be in trouble right now too, those games in hand aren't worth as much anymore. Frustrating we're not a little closer as top 2 would be on.

But despite other clubs dropping points we always seem to be 3 to 5 points away from 6th. We've hit some kind of glass ceiling. Only once have we managed to get into the top 6 and that was because we were playing games when others weren't. We need to string some wins together now. 6 points from the next 2 games is needed imo. Sounds do-able but always harder than you think. The players could be shattered by the time the QPR game comes around. 4 points wont cut it.
