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.

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.

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.

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.
