From winning. And because it's impossible to get -1 or 8 points from the remaining 3 games.

We can still get 0 or 9 from these 4 matches though?

I think your illness affected your concentration too!
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

Apology accepted.
“Winning”? “Excluded”? This all sounds too serious for me. Please cancel my vote.
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

Up to 3 points, so those on 0, 1, 2, 8, 10 and 12 are among the losers in this round.

To get 4 points after the Brighton loss has been impressive. I have belated voted for 7. Confident we can win next Sunday.

I think we need six points ideally. Simplest way;

- a win at home vs Brighton
- a win in either away game, vs Wolves or vs West Ham

Liverpool game is the “biggest” game in terms of occasion on the list but it’s Also the one we can’t really expect anything from, so the most important fixtures are the others.

Just shows the task that is at hand, I don’t have us favourites for any of these matches but we have to find a way.

The Brighton defeat is such a shame given how close we came to a result.

The results we’ve got from Wolves and Liverpool is a phenomenal effort. But logically you’d rather win the Brighton game and lose to Liverpool, because we’d be two points better off and right on track.

A result vs West Ham (A) is now more important and would take us to 5-7 points for this period of games, which would make up for the Brighton defeat. But a very tough ask again. Just shows how relentless this league is and how we must not get carried away.

We've just taken a point off of Liverpool, the league leaders, we should fear no one.

Last season they had such a bad injury crisis they bought some clogger CB from Preston in a January panic.

Hear what you say but there is nothing logical about football. Also you should not underestimate Brighton or anyone else in this league. Brighton could be the surprise team (as well as us) this season. We have just taken a point from a very good Liverpool team, nothing to fear from anyone else.

You are right, I don’t underestimate anyone. In my original post I mention that we were not favourites to win any of the games in this run.

Just wanted to highlight how the mood is very high after the Liverpool draw but that we mustn’t get carried away or complacent, it’s just one point and if at any point we think “we’ve made it” and lower our intensity we could end up in trouble.

We shouldn’t go to West Ham expecting a defeat but we can’t ignore their threat either, will be the toughest game yet I reckon. Another cup final, as they all are.

I get what you mean, but I’m sure Thomas would argue that the belief the players will draw from the Liverpool game will be much more important over the season than 2 extra points now. (Not that both wouldn’t have been ideal!)

I think psychologically the draw might have been better than a win. If we’d won there’d be a risk of getting overconfident whereas the draw was proof we could compete but tempered with the knowledge that we could still have easily lost despite an excellent 95 minute performance.

Brighton could go top tonight. While they’re unlikely to end there that 0-1 might end up being like the 1-0 away at Bournemouth in 2014 where despite defeat we could see we were up to being competitive against a good team with experience of the division and the cannyness needed without being based on adrenaline, the roar of a home crowd or the momentum of promotion.

Fearless but humble. 32 games to go and the aim should be not only to keep going this season but also not to believe too much in the plaudits so we don’t end up like Sheff U, Huddersfield, maybe Leeds and have a poor second season with no new answers.

Could be, but that’s proving my point, it places greater importance on future games.

This.

The physical and mental effort against L'pool was phenomenal and it doesn't matter how fit and motivated a team is, it is hugely difficult to maintain that sort of effort week-in, week-out over a run of even a dozen games, never mind a whole season..

It's why you saw a really good Liverpool(!) still only finish 4th, 4th and 2nd under Klopp, before they were finally sufficiently "battle-hardened" to win the title with 32 victories/99 points in 2019/20.

All that said, I'm sure Thomas and his team are already planning for this and will have a plan to cope etc.
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

Thought 5 with a win and two draws.
7 points is beyond fantastic.
I need to be more bold with my points predictions in the next phase of games
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

Hats off to anyone going 7 pts from those matches.

12 points from our first 7, and we've yet to even play anyone in the current bottom 6!!

I'm still going in to games fearing that our trashing is coming soon. :) Was this with Wolves away, Liverpool at home and Wet Spam away.

Obviously I need to develop a backbone. :)

I was the same when we first went up from L1 to the championship.
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

As stated above, there needs to be a full inquiry into this. Plus some tightening up of the entry requirements because it seems some GPGers just cannot be trusted. Very sad ?
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

I felt we needed to aim for 6 points from these fixtures. That was my bullish prediction.

I knew we were not favourites for any of the games but these are all cup finals for us and this Brentford side tends to “find a way”.

Others would have had lower targets based on the difficulty of the fixtures but the mindset at this club (internally and from fans) should not be one that sets limits on what we these players can achieve, especially given they’ve never played at this level before.

To have exceeded the 6 point target is fantastic and to have done so after losing the Brighton (H) is massive.
 

Phase 2 Points Predictions

I believe the legitimate winners of this phase with 7 points each are

W13 Bee, Nickabee, AB, aslan, GBEE, Idaho Bee, t1003, Byond, psg150, DavidBee, 'Ayes B, SydneySwansBee, BS7Bee grepo , gbems92, Jtlrocketman, StevieSteve , WD19 BEE ,Porgey , olliebfc, BEEWILD , TheHairdresser
