    Starting with Saturday December 21st we have four games in twelve days over the late December/New Year period the fixtures are as follows-

    Saturday 21st December-Salford City (Home)
    Thursday 26th December-Carlisle United (Away)
    Sunday 29th December-Mansfield Town (Home)
    Wednesday 1st January-Morecambe (Home)

    Without wishing to get ahead of ourselves the question is can BCFC accumulate enough points from those fixtures above and reach the top 3 of League2?

    Should they do so I suspect most on here would accept a top three spot which would also mean meeting the minimum requirements of @Fordy117@Fordy117 and hopefully bring a :thumbup: from him for the start of the New Year.

    7 points.
    I think we might lose to Mansfield.
    Looked at their highlights away at Crewe and they looked slick.
    Nicky Maynard up top.
    Coughlin should be in place by then as well for them and his Bristol Rovers side looked quality at ipswich at the weekend.

    These are crucial (@Wrose Bantam@Wrose Bantam ), and will map where we end.
    Make NO mistake ............ Any error will be down to GB, and his 'tactics'.

    We dropped 2 points by drawing against LO but we move on and we should still be top 3 by the 2nd of Jan at least.

    As to be our goal then we play Swindon on the 4th and it will be about cutting their leading or making sure we don't lose against them.

    Fans need to start building targets and having aims or this club will go backs and Rhodes & Rupp will think they have it easy.

    Lots to think about, there. Do City progress, or continue to perform poorly ?
    Only Rhodes and Rupp will know ............ 'Cos quite honestly, GB has no clue whatsoever, game to game to play.

    All winnable games, and all games you would expect a top 3 side to win. Should be 12 points but will probably be 7/8

    I'm going 8 points.

    We are strong(ish) at the back but we just don't create enough.

    Do we get promoted if we're top three on January 1st? If all we get is a thumbs up from Fordy I'm happy to bide some more time in the chasing pack tbh.

    If we get 10 points from next 4 games I think we’ll be able to overtake Swindon by beating them as looking at their fixtures I can’t see them getting more than 5 or 6 points from their next 4

    I can see us drawing against Salford, the poop hitting the fan with the supporters, before normality is restored with a win at Carlisle. We can beat Mansfield, who invested heavily in their forwards while neglecting their back line, and Morecambe should be a boring 1-0 home win.

    10 points.

    Could it be time for a winning run through Christmas..what a present that would be. But we need to be more convincing as individuals and as a team. Invincibility come the New Year would be the real thing.

    I think we'll lose against Salford. It's a chance for them to show someone "big" that they should be "big". They'll raise their game in front of the watching Beckham, Scholes, Butt and Neville.

    I think we'll get 12 points too. Come on Gazza lets be more attack minded and let other teams worry about us!!

    It's important to remain unbeaten, that's the key.

    A haul of 11 points would be magic. 9 points is a good effort. 7 points still better than nothing providing we remain unbeaten in all of these scenarios.

    More negatively, an unbeaten run yielding only 5 points from these 4 games would be disappointing overall.
