Key games until the WC

Post by tiger76 » Tue Oct 04, 2022 3:07 pm

Yes I know all games matter, but these matches could really start to separate the contenders and the pretenders over the next couple of months.

4 October

Sheff Utd-QPR

Reading-Norwich

7 October

QPR-Reading

15 October

Watford-Norwich

22 October

Sheff Utd-Norwich

25 October

Burnley-Norwich

29 October

Burnley-Reading

2 November

Norwich-QPR

5 November

Sheff Utd-Burnley

8 November

Watford-Reading

13 November

Burnley-Blackburn

I think that's all the games between the current top 6, and after that batch when there's a few head-to-head meetings we might get more of an idea who's in the promotion race for the long haul.

Some interesting possibilities in there even though, as you say, nothing will be anywhere near being decided.

Some very winnable games for us, a run of 3 home games in a row, Norwich, Rovers and Sheff Utd - I think after the Rovers game where we are will be likely where we end up.

After the next say six games the top 6 then May not include many of the current top 6.
Too early to say who will be in top 6 at the end of the season as it appears to be a really wide open League

Many people saying it is a poor league due to it being close. I prefer to think it’s just extremely competitive. Pity the PL table doesn’t look more like it rather than the same old every season.

One game at a time ,Stoke will be tough as they have a point to prove after a mauling by bullyboys Watford We need to score early and pile on the goals.We don't want any more squandered points we've dropped 8 from games we led in.We need to hit first the time the WC comes around.
