Season Defining weekend?

Thu Jan 17, 2013 9:39 am

We've got a massive weekend ahead of us, the games that could affect us are;
Friday
Leicester City V Middlesbrough

Saturday
Crystal Palace V Bolton Wanderers
Peterborough United V Hull City
Blackpool V Cardiff City

If Leicester and Boro draw tomorrow we have the chance to pull 13 points clear of 3rd place, depending on how Palace do on Saturday then. That would all but secure automatic promotion even at this stage IMO :ayatollah:
For some reason I can't see Hull winning, Peterborough have been strange this year picking up a point or three against some big teams (Won't go into that one), giving us the chance to go at least 10 points clear if win against Blackpool.

Is there a statto out there who could tell me the last time a team in this league had a 10 point lead at this time of the year?

Hull losing 2 players and losing at home against Wednesday is a huge down fall for them at this moment,

I don't think it would "all but secure" anything to be honest.

na still a long long way to go.

We have 3 away games in a row coming up, going to be tough, and if we come out of it with a lead still around the 8 point mark, we will have done well.

I think we'll really know after our 3 home games in a week starting with Leicester on 12th Feb.

There is no 'season defining weekend'

We could go out and lose the next two games, then go on a winning run of 6 or 7.

All we need to do is press on, heads down, pile up the points when we can but not
fall apart when we lose the odd game or two

Good point, but I really don't think we could possibly f**k it up from at least 10 points clear, maybe 11 with 18 games to go
