West Brom (current leaders) aren't going to get automatic promotion... Whilst in catch up mode, we just need to keep auto-promotion rivals West Ham, Wolves and Middlesbrough within striking distance, which we are.

If we carry on our form over the next 40 games, would put us on about 80 points with the deduction. Should be enough this season I feel. Whether we can keep this form up is another question...but hey ho.

We're getting points, we're unbeaten since the opening day in the League but we lack a little consistency still. Another win against Brizzle and maybe we go into our away fixture with Wrexham full of confidence to try to get that ellusive away win we need to kick start that side of our campaign.

Of course, if we then beat Wrexham, we go into an important game full of confidence when we play the Skates.

But it all starts  with a win against Brizzle.

Assume you mean for a play-off spot because 80 points will be nowhere near enough for top 2.

Gotta be same team I think assuming all are fit.

Bit of a bogey team for us, so wouldn't surprise me if they frustrated us, but should get atleast a draw. 

What we do know is that we will concede...lets hope we have 2 or 3 in their net.

A few of the City fans i know reckon they can't defend either. I reckon this will be something like 2-2 (given they are a bogey side for us). The -4points remains an issue for us i think as we're constantly playing a game of catch up (and when we're not winning it adds pressure mentally).

IMO there are at least 2 teams in this league capable of 90+ points so I think 2 per game (92 over the season) would put us in the final mix.

We need to make SMS a fortress, starting on Saturday.
