    18 or 19 points should see us safe. Six wins or five wins and a few draws. Problem is I can't see where five wins will come from. Burton and Bolton at home but beyond that?

    Problem is, apart from being goal shy, we don't seem to be able to pox a win. I remember in Simon Davey's first season we got hammered by Ipswich on Good Friday then played Birmingham at home on Easter Monday. They hammered us but we somehow managed to win 1-0. I don't see this team doing that.

    Where are the wins coming from??

    I can see it being a dour draw. Their current form is very similar to us.

    We will beat Wednesday. Other than that don’t find much to disagree with from the OP.

    I think you're right. 50 points won't be needed this year - probably mid 40s because there are 5 or 6 teams in the division who are poor.

    Hopefully we can slime a few wins on the run in too, if we end up playing mid table sides with nowt to play for.

    Imagine the lift it would give everyone if we could beat our deluded south yorkshire neighbours.

    I’m rarely confident of victory especially against Wednesday but I have a feeling on this one.

    Hopefully:

    Wednesday 1pt
    Burton 3pts
    Birmingham 0pts
    Norwich 3pts
    Cardiff 0pts
    Middlesbrough 0pts
    Millwall 3pts
    Bristol City 1pt
    Forest 1pt
    Sheff U 1pt
    Ipswich 0pts
    Bolton 3pts
    Leeds 0pts
    Brentford 3pts
    Derby 0pts

    19pts. Optimistic in spots (Brentford/Norwich), Negative in others (Wednesday/Birmingham)

    Tough ask, but not impossible or completely out of the realms of possibility.

    I agree with you on Forest or Ipswich but I would like to think as well the original two you mentioned , I always fancy us to beat Millwall ( except in FA Cup , lol ) & I would not rule us out at Birmingham , its usually a happy hunting ground but our current form suggests that getting five or six wins is a tall order but we live in hope

    We desperately need a spark to build confidence and get some sort of run together. We've got a few new players in and I think we need that fresh impetus that new players bring.

    I think Saturday is huge, because win that and we've a little run of games that with confidence in us could produce a decent return of points. Win 2 or 3 pretty close together and I think we could open up a gap quite quickly seeing how poor so many of the teams are down there. fail to win Saturday and I could really see heads drop.

    It's all about confidence, OK with perhaps a bit of luck to kick it off!
    But if/once Hecky raises the confidence levels again I think we'll be able to turn out a decent set of results with this squad.

    I hate to say it and never thought I would but I'm torn between wanting us to win the owls and loosing to hope that hecky goes because if we loose again and we don't put over a performance then surely this has gone on long enough

    It’s looking like you might get one wish granted without the embarrassment of that defeat.
