**** *** ****!!

Is that better?

QPR v Chelsea
Tottenham v QPR
QPR v Man City
Stoke v QPR,
Norwich v QPR

That is one tough set of fixtures. The only "easy" one is Norwich, where we lost last year. I don't want to be negative but it is perfectly possible that we won't get anything out of those games. Will be a real test of our resolve.

Its definitely a step up on what we have faced so far, apart from Villa who i think will finish top 8, and remember the dreaded suspension and injuries that will pop up.

No still a daft thread

We'll get a max of 14 more points before end of December. 4 wins vs Blackburn, WBA, Sunderland and at Arsenal, and draw at Stoke and Liverpool. Thats it. But hey what a position to be in going into ther new year. Lets face it none of us thought we'd be in 10th place at this stage.

Just a piece of info - when NW was in the PL with Sheff Utd they only accummulated 8pts by Christmas!

See it is all about opinions. In my opinion we will have 40 points by the END of january.

Tottenham, who finished 5th last season had 38 points at the end of January.

Sheff Utd had 20 points at Xmas that season, and were in 16th place.

Wolves who finished with 40 points had 21 points at the end of January.

I hope not but there are five games in a row (that I highlighted earlier) where its quite possible we won't pick up a single point. Think so much of survival in this division is how the manager, players AND FANS respond to four or five defeats in a row which prob will happen at some stage or other: do fans start calling for the manager to be sacked, the owners out and start booing every misplaced pass, or do they say "welcome to the Premier League, we always knew there would be days like these" and get behind the team even more? Be a big test for our fans almost as much as the players imho.

Best post on the subject yet Stainrod

Here's how I see it...

Fulham v QPR (win)
QPR v Blackburn (win)
QPR v Chelsea (draw)
Tottenham v QPR (lose)
QPR v Man City (lose)
Stoke v QPR, (lose)
Norwich v QPR (win)
QPR v West Brom (win)
Liverpool v QPR (lose)
QPR v Man Utd (lose)
QPR v Sunderland (win)
Swansea v QPR (win)
Arsenal v QPR (draw)

From those game 20 points (AND I'VE BEEN A LITTLE HOPEFUL IN SOME GAMES) top wack putting us on 28 points. You've got to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic to think we'll have 40 points by then!
