Don, Torquay, Plymouth- realistically

[BaileytheQuitter]

A lot of chatter about how we need 3 wins out of 3 over the next 3 fixtures but realistically, with this being Southend, I just can't see it happening.

What is the general consensus on how many points we are going to pick up?

 

[CC51DAS]

9 out of 9.

The Blues are going up !

 

[davewebbsbrain]

We always tend to struggle against the lower teams, I'd like 9 points but won't hold my breath

 

[southend-mad.94]

I'd like 9 but I know against a lower team at home we will concede a sloppy goal and draw so I reckon in the Plymouth game we will draw 1-1 again. However I may be pursuaded differently if we have certain injuries and loanees back in the team !

 

[bazzashrimper]

7 points would be an excellent return. It would probably put us back in a play off spot

 

[BrettieAngell]

All three teams fighting for their lives, it wont be easy. I've gone for 6.

 

[MK Shrimper]

A win, a loss, a draw.

 

[QPR Shrimper]

I'd take 7 points right now! Who's with me?

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Anything less than 12 points from the next 3 games and I'll be disappointed (its all about creative accounting - Ron should know all about that)

9 out of 9 and if we score first in the first half, that is easily doable

Ive gone for 7

Our difficulty at RH is being unable to break teams down, them all needing points may suit us I think as they may not come to 'park the bus'.

 

[mattytheshrimper]

I think we have to be aiming for 7 if we want to get in the play-offs

 

[Bolton Shrimper]

I'd take 7 points right now! Who's with me?

I'm with you but only because there was no 8 to select.

 

[Tinks]

Knowing the win yesterday will be a boost - I think this will take the momentum forward.
Had we lost yesterday then I believe the mentality of the team would have been completley different.

The problem we always seem to have is that when we play teams lower than us we always seem to play to their level and hence why I have only gone for 4 points.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

Needs to be 9 out of 9.

 

[Danshrimper]

We need either 7 or 9 points from these 3 games if we are to go up

 

[the_forgotten_man]

All this 'needs to be 9'/'must win all 3' is a load of cobblers. If we did win all 3 I imagine - what with one of the games being our game in hand, and other teams playing against each other - that we'd be either 4th or 5th. That would put us in with a fantastic chance of automatic promotion, and in the very heart of the play-off places.

If we could pick up between 5 and 7, remaining unbeaten, I would fancy our chances of taking a play-off place.

 

[slapheadsteve]

7 points out of a possible 9. Would do me

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

I reckon 6. Think we will get mugged off by one of the three teams. I think its the game in hand against Plymouth that is vital for the 3 points.

9 points would put us back in with a shout of automatics.
