Could set us up nicely to give us every chance of staying in the Championship.  We have some unbelievably tough fixtures coming up.  But if we can get 5 points out of these I think we will have done very well and any more will be a bonus.

Ipswich (H), Blackburn (A), Derby (H), Wolves (A), Watford (A), Millwall (H).  

Of our rivals at the bottom, I think Brighton will do OK and can pick up 8 points from;

Forest (H), Cardiff (A), Wednesday (A), Birmingham (H), Leeds (H), Bolton (A)

Millwall will struggle to get 5 maybe 6 points from their February fixtures;

Huddersfield (H), Birmingham (A), Leeds (A), Fulham (H), Wednesday (H), Rotherham (A)

I predict that Wigan will do the best of our relegation rivals and can get 9 points from;

Bournemouth (H), Forest (A), Reading (A), Charlton (H), Cardiff (H), Blackpool (A) 

Blackpool are doomed and will be lucky to get 3 points from;

Norwich (A), Middlesbrough (H), Forest (H), Blackburn (A), Brentford (A), Wigan (H)

Just above us Leeds are capable of 6 points from;

Brentford (H), Reading (A), Millwall (H), Middlesbrough (A), Brighton (A), Watford (H)

Charlton, who can't buy a win at the moment may get sucked deeper into trouble and may struggle to get 3 points from;

Middlesbrough (A), Norwich (H), Brentford (H), Wigan (A), Derby (A), Huddersfield (A)

So what does all this mean?  Despite the tough run of games we have coming up, if we can get the 5 points I think we will stay out of the bottom three which will set us up nicely for the run in and give us every chance of staying up.

Leeds 6 points 38

Brighton 8 points 37

Charlton 3 points 36

Rotherham 5 points 35

Millwall 6 points 34

Wigan 9 points 31

Blackpool 3 points 23
