stoke - cup - 20th - DLWLD
blackburn - 13th - WDWLD
millwall - 19th - WLLLD
Those first 5 in particular are perfect for resurrecting a football season
4 of them at home & at least 3 of those teams expected to finish the season struggling in the bottom half.
We won't get many better runs of fixtures in a football season
We have a great chance now to really push on and get ourselves right up in amongst them before the next International break.

Rotherham is a massive opportunity I hope we take it.

Looking at the next 5 games we really have no excuse not to be sitting in a play off position by the time the next International break comes around. COYR.

But who have the other teams got who are in the play off spots right now. As if they have games similar to us then they will be thinking the same. We need to keep the pressure on by winning the games dare i say it easier on paper but just as important if not more so beat the teams above to close the points gap. It's a long hard season and we can't allow ourselves to be on hoping other teams throw points away like we did at the start.

Duncan is right ...we should finish this run of games in a play off spot...the third team is just 4 points away the 4th 3 points away and the following two at two points away...winning two and drawing another (at leadt) will surely put us at least in 6th spot...then the hard job will be to remain there...

wigan villa hull and leeds have all beaten Rotherham this season.
Brentford smashed them 5-1.
they have also recently lost a promising centre half through injury.
we need to win this if we have aspirations.
RE: The Next 6 Games - Mcforest - 21-09-2018
So lets look at the next 4 fixtures for 3rd to 7 and compare to our own and see if we really can make the top 6 by the end of it
Nottingham Forest next 4 fixtures
Rotherham (h) win
Blackburn (a) win
Millwall (h) win
Middlesbrough (a) loss
Possible 9 points
Aston Villa (7th)
Sheff Weds (h) win
Bristol city (a) draw
Preston (h) win
Millwall (a) win
10 points
Sheffield Utd (6th)
Preston (h) draw
Millwall (a) win
Blackburn (a) win
Hull (h) win
10 points
Bristol City (5th)
Wigan (a) Draw
Aston Villa (h) Draw
Rotherham (a) Win
Sheff Weds (h) Win
8 points
WBA (4th)
Millwall (h) win
Preston (a) Win
Sheff Weds (a) Win
Reading (h) Win
Points 12
Brentford (3rd)
Derby (a) win
Reading (h) Win
Birmingham (h) Draw
Leeds (a) Loss
7 points
So the only teams I see us catching up on is Bristol city (1 points closer) and Brentford (2 points closer)but not enough to get top 6 but again it’s about putting pressure on them and then win the games against the higher ranked sides.
Our run of games we should win on paper is very much inline with the others teams should win on paper games as well.
RE: The Next 6 Games - Maltared - 21-09-2018
Mc Forest if your results will become reality, then it means that we are not even play off material. Are blackburn and Millwall going to loose all their games against such opponents? From the listed teams only us and Brentford will loose a game, are you that convinced of that?
Anyway, if your prediction comes through, still I would consider the period (number of games) if we total 12 points from the 18 available (considering that we have 4 in the bag already).
RE: The Next 6 Games - Mcforest - 21-09-2018
I think you might be missing my point. What I'm saying is that we shouldn't be expecting to be top six just because we have a good run of very winnable fixtures because the club's above us also have fixtures in which they should be winning.
