Up to Fifth 5 points behind QPR and Derby with two games in hand :)
Only downer today … Burnley 2-1 winners versus Leeds (0-1 down in last 2, came back to win both).
My message (UR) to the players : lets go win MIN 11 out the last 12 … would put us there or there abouts for top 2. Why Not ? This team is on fire (injuries permitting ….) Naturally, he’ll only talk publicly about the play-offs.
Powell, Maloney etc. back in the fold …… quality midfield reinforcement would be welcome (Watson, McCann).
Another outstanding result today, lads :cheer:
Barnett went off with a knock today :( Ramis took a swinging arm in his eye but only plays weekends anyhow
Given we are only just in the play offs i think talk of us catching Burnley is rather premature. 15 points (or 9 if we win games in hand) is pretty substantial with 11 games to go given Burnley are in even better form than us in the league over the last ten games. They actually have a similar run in to us on paper so would take us to win pretty much every game from the last 13 to go past them which is unlikely. Best to take it a game at a time!

Another outstanding result today, lads :cheer:[/quote]We’re also have a media blackout it seems ,no mention of us on talksh@te tonight but plenty mentions for QPR and Brighton and drone Albion despite the fact we are now in the top six and on the up.
That will suit nicely although if they win 11 out of 12 I will gladly put a bolton top on and parade through wigan town centre after chucking out time.
Burnley do not seem to have had a wobble and just seem to be cruising towards 90 points while Leicester are heading towards the 100 mark so 11 out of 12 wins would be the minimum needed anyway!
A pity Uwe didn’t get down here sooner but I think he is going to be paid back for his dreadful luck with Brentford last year -it just seems meant to be and nothing is going to stop it!
Wonderful times to be a tics fan !We’re also have a media blackout it seems ,no mention of us on talksh@te tonight but plenty mentions for QPR and Brighton and drone AlbionActually I don’t think QPR had a game today. I put Sky Sports on to watch them play but they weren’t on Sky Sports 1,2,3 or 4.
Must be playing tomorrow.
With our current form we are more than capable of catching Burnley. We just need them to drop points. They are also in good form and have an easier run in than us, so we could end up third?
You never know, come mid April they could be looking over their shoulders and if the pressure takes hold…. Anything could happen?Given we are only just in the play offs i think talk of us catching Burnley is rather premature. 15 points (or 9 if we win games in hand) is pretty substantial with 11 games to go given Burnley are in even better form than us in the league over the last ten games. They actually have a similar run in to us on paper so would take us to win pretty much every game from the last 13 to go past them which is unlikely. Best to take it a game at a time!we’ve just won EIGHT on the bounce …premature ?
Include in that list 6 away .. the likes of City, Forest, BHA etc. Hardly ‘scrubbers’
Nothing wrong in having HIGH expectations (you wouldn’t say we’d failed to deliver in the last 2 months or so….would you ?)
15 CAN become 9 (2 wins) become 6 (Burnley AWAY win – the pressure on them
NOT saying we will, merely that its something we should SHOOT for
Or don’t you think UR sends his boys out with the intention of winning every game
On current form, injuries permitting, and in the unfortunate scenario Burnley lose one or the other key player (smaller squad), … why not ?
Game at a time indeed B) ….12 cup finals (assuming no more injuries, WE have the squad, and NOW the FORM, and MANAGER to help us do it
Goes without saying no margin for error (Hudders, Dony etc.)
IF the unthinkable did happen, then UR’s stock would clearly go through the roof ..
