DennisNedry Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Well that has taken the shine off the weekends football and has put the pressure on us a bit now. Burnley only 2 wins behind and we have to play them at Turf Moor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterborofox Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Burnley have a very good run in of games IMO, we should be careful, they have very winnable games before playing us too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjslcfc Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Well that has taken the shine off the weekends football and has put the pressure on us a bit now. Burnley only 2 wins behind and we have to play them at Turf Moor. Burnley will not stop us from getting promoted. The only thing they can really do is beat us to the title, and while I am the first to want to win the title promotion is the ultimate aim. We win on Tuesday we are 8 points ahead of them with 12 games left. We would also be at least 13 points ahead of 3rd with a game in hand on Derby. That means they would have to gain just over 1 point per game on us. If we beat Barnsley, we then have blackpool followed by yeovil at home. I'd be very disappointed if we didn't brush them both aside, not that it might be tough but we are far too good to not take all 9 points in the next 3 games. That would mean we are still 13 points ahead of 3rd with 10 to play. That increases Derby's need to take 1.5 pts per game more than us. If we don't get promoted we have no one else to blame but ourselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluetintedspecs Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Fair play to Burnley they did a job today! Personally feel that Burnley winning is not a bad result for us as the gap widening to 3rd/4th will create further pressure on those chasing. Do a job on Barnsley tuesday night, as I expect us to, then all in all this will be viewed as a cracking weekend. COYB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox92 Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 I know we've got a game in hand, but looking at the gap of 5 points is scary. Could so easily turn yet, especially with us having to go to Turf Moor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could so easily turn yet, especially with us having to go to Turf Moor. Luckily that's the gap to second, though. Like I said in a different thread it would be a shame if we don't win the league because we're comfortably the best team in it and have been dominant all year, but that's all it will be, a shame, as long as we get second.

ScouseFox Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Twitchy arse syndrome? I know whose position I would rather be in! Nope, I fully expect us to still win the league with relative ease from this position. Merely stating that if we start slipping up a bit and Burnley storm on and do look like challenging us, in the scheme of things it's 2 into 2 so it wouldn't be too drastic.

Guest ttfn Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 Having done the hard work of Derby and Forest at home and Blackburn away, Burnley's next four games before us look great on paper: Birmingham (A) Leeds (H) Charlton (A) Doncaster (H) Then again I don't suppose Barnsley, Blackpool, Blackburn and Yeovil looks too bad on paper either. By 29 March, with us having played 37 and them 38 we could (and perhaps should) be into the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 9 March 2014 Share Posted 9 March 2014 We should be looking for 12 points from our next 4 games. Would be happy with 10. Avoid defeat at Burnley and the title is ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having only really being old enough to be a proper fan from about 2002, I've never seen us win anything (apart from the mickey mouse league 1). He's saying the most important thing is promotion. And it is. If someone said to you now you can have promotion in 2nd place or no promotion at all you'd take it right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
