Next 6 league games

[Berkshire Blue]

I believe that 5 of our next 6 league games are at home. Hopefully this should provide an excellent opportunity to get a good run going.

Have you seen who our remaining home games this year are against though?

I hope you are right, but don't think it will be plain sailing especially as playing all of the top five in that run.

Knowing us, we will beat or draw with everyone except Southend!

Not this season, we’ve tended to only win games against teams below us. Doncaster besides.

In think our next four games - Southend - Harrogate - Fleetwood - Rochdale - will determine the direction of our season.
I really don't buy the argument that KJ's style of football is all hoof-ball and boring to watch. We are much improved over the past three games and now need to convert more chances and concentrate until the final whistle. Other than that we are on the right track.
Southend are much more resilient under Campbell and I hope that we are not expecting a walk-over. We need to be patient. I will take a 1-0 there.
Harrogate are so up for this one and obviously the Beeb are hoping for an upset but if we keep the tempo up, they will wilt. Get an early goal and the opportunity is there for a good win and a boost for our finishing confidence.
Fleetwood are the toughest of that group. They enjoy coming to Fratton and playing in front of a (big) crowd and will be on the front foot but if things have gone well in the previous two games, we can show - as we did against Oxford - that we are at least as good as any of the teams currently in the play-off zone.
Finally, Rochdale are strong at home but from a good start seem to be on their usual downward path to the relegation zone.
I don't care about the FA Cup but a boost in confidence from that game coupled with nine points from the others should put us mid-table and within striking distance of the play-offs.
