January fixtures

[Shade]

Obviously we already have 1 defeat in January, but we have 3 of the top 4 coming up in the next 4 games... what are we thinking would be a good points total for the rest of this month?

Portsmouth (h) 1st
Bolton (a) 2nd
Carlisle (h) 23rd
Derby (a) 4th

Think we might have to be happy if we come out of it with 4? Portsmouth have had a few dodgy results over Christmas against teams they would have been expecting to beat so there's the hope of something there, and Carlisle are obviously a big target for 3 points. Bolton and Derby are capable of throwing the odd point away, but away from home I'm not counting on it.

Would love seven but four is more realistic.

[Ihearye]

I think we will take 5, not sure how that works out on RCS equations.
But will be happy with 7 and hope for 8

[WhaddonIrregular]

Burton away has also been rescheduled for 23rd Jan, that would be a nice 3pts if we could get manage it.

6 would be great, anything more would be an absolute bonus for me

[Robin]

Draw tomorrow, beat Carlisle and need to get something from Burton, can't see anything coming from the two away games.

[Shade]

Ah yes, Google hasn't updated the Burton fixture either yet. In which case, we've got to be eyeing 3 points from that too, so I'll hope for at least 7 points.

[Jim]

If we end January on 27 points I'll be happy.

I don’t disagree with RCS countdown or DC’s number of wins but the key stat is…are we within 3 points of safety when we play Stevenage?

If we stay within three points (after our dreadful start) that’s basically a miracle. Hang in there boys, we’ve had easy games in december and will have hard ones in January.

You can’t stay up in January…but you can confirm your relegation

Yes. Well said.
We'll almost certainly still be bottom four come end of Jan, but the important things are:
1) To keep within touch of safety.
2) Don't lose faith that we can do this.

Well there is 3 of my 8 taken care of, Just as I expected

[CTFC.Harry]

Bolton (a) L
Carlisle (h) Need a win. Be huge if we can get the 3 points
Burton (a) 1 point will do
Derby (a) 1 point will do

Beat Carlisle and beat either Derby or Burton and we’re looking good. 2 points from Derby and Burton wouldn’t be the end of the world. 4 points would be beautiful.

I really wouldn't want to go to Stevenage needing a result its horrible ground, horrible manager and could be another Notts County again, that was horrid taking 2500 fans feeling we would pull off the great escape only to narrowly go down. Do think it could go to the last game but equally on current form we could be safe before hand.

Whilst our fixtures this month are very tough a quick gland over February fixtures suggests they are pretty favourable.
