Palace & Cardiff - what points total would you be happy with?

I haven't even thought about taking six points to be honest.

I'd be ecstatic with four points, delighted happy with three, very happy with two draws and satisfied (just about) with a draw and a narrow defeat. Two defeats would really put the pressure back on imo. If we get more than a point my confidence that we're staying up will grow considerably. If we lose both alarm bells will be ringing again and I'll be panicking again by 9.45pm next Tuesday.

First things first - a point or better at Palace would be great as it'd guarantee we couldn't drop back into the bottom three.

What points total would everyone else be happy with from these next two games?

 

Anything from two points upwards.

 

Win one and lose one, rather than 2 draws but beggars cant be choosers.

 

I'm not greedy, 5 points would do.

 

Dangling the bait there Mr C!

 

Even if we lose both I can't say as I'll be too pissed off. We're playing two of the best teams in the league away from home. They're not the type of games I expect us to win. Any result at all from either game will be a massive bonus.

 

Would I do that? Shame for suggesting it!! :biggrin:

 

Another two 2013 Flitcroft inspired performances is all I ask for. The results then will hopefully follow.
.
Palace and Cardiff were nothing special at Oakwell when we met them, and that was when we were nothing like the proposition we now are. Although, both these sides are pretty tough nuts to crack on their own turf.
.
Bring em on I say. They should be fearing us - the 2013 table tells you that.
.
You wonderful reds.

 

I will be happy with a point but I honestly think we are capable of a win from one of the games, probably the Palace game.

 

Woule agree with you on that.

 

I don't think two defeats would change things all that drastically.

I do think however we can beat Crystal Palace so would be disappointed if we didn't at least get a point there. Cardiff will be tough and I would be very happy with a point.

The two key fixtures for us are the Charlton and Derby games.

 

trouble could be that a loss at palace,and even worse by a few goals puts pressure on the cardiff game, 2 draws do me but if we sneak 3, be great, but got to keep the gd to a minimum,
talking to a wendy fan at work and they're hoping for 6pts in next 2, hoping willmall don't try to hard with their semi-final coming up.

 

86

No 4, err 99, 6.

**** it.

 

Re: 86

I think we'll get a win and think it will be Cardiff.

Palace have been best side I've seen at Oakwell this season and they'd didn't have Zaha playing that night......but they're on a bad run so you never know.

The way Flicker gets us set up / fired up..........we could win both.

 

Re: 86

Not fussed.

More bothered about getting the points from the home games, that should keep us up, points away from homes a bonus.

 

anything more than zero will be a bonus

hopefully no less than 2, but I reckon 4 is achievable.

 

Anything over 0 would make me happy

 

I'm actually less confident when we play the lower teams...for a few years now we've struggled to win against the teams around us yet pick up a lot of "surprise" wins

 

I'm still not completely confident we'll stay up.

The Charlton and Derby games aren't guaranteed home wins. They are crucial games, we're much improved but Charlton have a cracking away record and Derby are a strange side and blow hot and cold.

Having said that... the way we've been playing, we could easily get anything from the games at Palace and Cardiff. I personally think the best two teams in the division are Watford and Brighton and we've just beaten them at home so there is no reason why we can't get something from either game.

Maybe not a popular view, but if we get 0 points from the next two games, and even worse, our goal difference takes a bit of battering, I worry we may be in trouble and not be able to turn it round.

Christ I'll be glad when it's May!

 

4 points from next 2 away games, draw v Derby and lose to Charlton, all to play for at Huddersfield....
