Mantra Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Last year I made a "Last 7 Games" topic, for our final run-in of the League Two campaign, as they were our most important fixtures of the season. This time round, I'd argue that these next 7 games are our most important. We really need to climb the table this month if we have any hopes of achieving something meaningful this season (i.e. play-offs). I know a lot of people won't even want to consider play-offs right now. But humour me in giving your predictions in what is going to be a season-defining month. Morecambe (A) 21st Place Charlton (H) 15th Place Oxford (A) 6th Place Burton (A) 10th Place Wimbledon (H) 20th Place Lincoln (H) 18th Place MK Dons (A) 4th Place I'll go first: Morecambe 1 - 3 Bolton Bolton 3 - 0 Charlton Oxford 2 - 2 Bolton Burton 1 - 1 Bolton Bolton 4 - 1 Wimbledon Bolton 2 - 0 Lincoln MK Dons 2 - 1 Bolton Feel like I'm being way too positive predicting only one loss from 7 games. But that's what I've come to... 14 points from 21. Guessing that will put us in somewhere like 8th. Feel like there'll be some massive bullshit go against us as there always is, either a bullshit penalty, or bullshit offside and Burton and MK Dons to me seem like the most likely ones to throw that sort of thing up, not sure why.

Good target to aim for. 2 points per game is generally promotion form but probably not if we've left it this late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variations are: 12 wins and 6 losses 11 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses 10 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses. 9 wins, 8 draws and 1 loss. Can't see the first/last scenarios playing out. 11 wins and 2 draws seems most likely out of those. Still allows us 5 losses which seems realistic. I know I'm dreaming here, but imagine Wigan dropped off in form and we ended up facing them home and away in the play-offs. There's usually always a team that drops out of the top 2 having been there most of the season and a team that rises into the playoffs in the last few games.

The top 2 are head and shoulders better than anything else in this league over a full season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
