The next four:

Reading (H), Brentford (A), Birmingham (A), Leeds (H).

Bring it on...

Much tougher run now. 6 points is probably good from those 4. Stopping Brentford and Leeds winning very important.

I agree 6 points would be good. See a draw against Reading (again) Brentford and Leeds and then a win at Brum. The race for top 6 is in our own hands but it would be nice if those chasing falter a bit so we have some breathing space. At the moment it is so tight and all the presure is on the top teams. Lose and your out of it while those chasing have nothing to fear.

As it stands i think both leeds and brentford would take a point now if offered.

I think at this stage of the season the value of any result depends upon how you follow it up in the next one and who you are playing.

We could take six points from the four fixtures by beating Reading and Birmingham or even Brentford and Leeds.

For me we need to go through the next four / five games unbeaten and average a minimum of two points a game.

 need to do that all season to go up  ;)

We have had a good run, I'd be happy if we are still in top 6 after these games.

8 points ahead of our total after the same number of games last season. 2 points over the required average points for the play offs and 6 off the predicted required auto total (45 and 53 respectively).

Lots to play for now a little bit of consistency and steel to see games out would be very welcome over the next few weeks.

What a shame we let Reading equalize last weekend.
Here we go.....

Forest did well against the top teams in the first half of the season.
Hoping that they can continue with that kind of form in the second.

More worried about QPR, huddersfield and Millwall on current form. We just seem to get too nervous in these home games against weaker teams

So this is where the season will get decided then, we need to win some more games if we're going to hold on to the playoff places. 

QPR win
Cardiff Loss
Boro win
Millwall draw
Sheff Wed win 
Hudds draw
Bristol draw

Think that'd be fine, a number of close games coming up though. At least Warbs will play to our strengths next Saturday. Need boro/Sheff Wed not to sack managers before we play them!

This is The Championship, it's impossible to predict.

Honestly, it really doesn't matter who you play, anything can happen.

Just look at Fulham yesterday.
