    What are our realistic hopes for these three games?

    Personally I would be delighted with 6 points but perhaps equally delighted with 5 as it would mean we haven't lost.

    Expecting seven points. Two home games on the bounce after we've played a struggling Cardiff side. Can't see us losing until we play Fulham on the 14th.

    Happy with 6 points, preferably in our next 2 games as they're potentially 6 pointers.

    Would take 4 - we're then 18 points from safety.

    4 points minimum would like 6 (or 7 or 9!)
    less than 4 and I will be disappointed

    1-1 Draw vs Cardiff
    2-0 Win vs Blackburn
    3-2 Win vs Brum

    Would take 4 if we didn't lose at home as that will be key to us remaining mid table this season, doubt the solid away form of the last few months will carry on as we have more of the better teams away

    Would be chuffed with 4. We've just had a nice little run and last night was a proper kick in the teeth.

    We've also lost Hammill for these games so there's a bit less competition for places, which adds to our general hot and cold season.

    Realistically though, taking 4, the position that'd leave us in on New Year's Day, I'd have bitten your hand off for at the start of the season.

    We've done fantastically so far. 1 or 2 astute signings maybe, plus Payne and Williams coming into the squad more regularly and I think this is going to be a very successful season, in terms of consolidating us as a Championship side.

    Just hope we don't lose too many in Jan or in the summer to have to keep rebuilding, but I've trust in Hecky and the board to do so if need be.

    Happy clapper as you can be.

    4 would be absolutely fine. We seem to sometimes be a bit frustrating when playing teams who we feel we should beat such as Wigan. However if we apply ourselves, cut out little errors, and get a bit of luck we have the quality in our side to get 9 points no doubt

    I reckon 9 points are very achievable.

    4 would be a good haul to keep us ticking over.

    5/6 would be great.

    7/9 would be brilliant.

    I think Hammill is a great player, but Marley back and possibly Aidy White for a game or two we should do ok.

    We were gang raped by the officials on tuesday & I think that may get a reaction too.
