I am going for a big hawl of 13 points out of 15, 4 wins and a draw (one of the long away trips to Stoke or Boro).
And I believe we will be back in the top 6 at the end of the month.
I'm going 6. 3 draws, 1 win and 1 loss.
Reading - Draw
Charlton - Win
Stoke - Draw (inevitable)
Luton - win
Middlesbrough - loss
8 points total. Really want to believe we take the 15 but I don't think we're quite there yet. Expect a much better return from the reverse fixtures.
9 minnimum, anything above that is good.
Wants to be 12 really
6 at home and 4 away
27 points after 14 games is on track for automatic promotion, that's 12 points out of 15 next month. We need to catch up a little as December will be a tough month especially if we pick up an injury or two.
For me
Reading 1-2 Fulham
Fulham 2-0 Charlton
Stoke 1-1 Fulham
Fulham 3-0 Luton
Middlesbrough 0-2 Fulham
Quite positive about these fixtures. 13 from 15 throwing us right in the mix.
1 game at a time though. Big game tomorrow
Fifteen points are up for grabs and should be the target we are aiming for. I am hoping the lads turn up in force tomorrow at the Madejski Stadium and give us a welcome to October win. I'd expect SP to be looking to extend the unbeaten run one game at a time rather than set his sights too far ahead of himself. All the teams we face this month can be awkward customers and so we need to be at our best to deal with them one at a time. This week's results should set the tone. No predictions from me.
One game at a time for me, but looking at Octobers fixtures we need to turn draws into wins and hopefully keep the unbeaten run going. Always think an away point is a good one generally as long as you win the home games!
I'll go 8.
Same results as The sargeant
I reckon 10 which is on par for the moment.
I think we're still performing better than most are making out, there seems huge negativity amongst the fans at the moment considering our results. Ive seen nothing, including West Brom, that we need be in any way concerned about this season.
If we are going to look like promotion candidates then we need two home wins and three draws away from home as a minimum.
I am not comfortable looking ahead like this, predictions rarely prove correct and we all know all kinds of things can happen to upset our expectations.
Right now we need full concentration on tomorrow night and think of how and who can score the couple of goals we need to bring home 3 points from Reading.
11.
I'll go for 10 points.
A draw against Reading, wins against Charlton, Stoke and Luton and finally a loss to Boro
Not that many optimistic people on here, many naturally cautious at their guessing. So I shall raise the bar and guess myself, how about a maximum of 15 juicy points in October.
I'm with Keith on 11.
Lose 1-0 to Stoke away.

:plus one:
I agree with the giant.
No reason to not feel optimistic at this point.

If we cannot get two goals past Reading, Luton and Middlesbrough, then we are probably not good enough for promotion. As for Charlton, they have played badly and won so hope they don't do the same. As for Stoke, they seemed to have improved last couple of game and still lost, hope they do the same.
Think 12 pionts
This is our chance to make up some ground. If we're serious about the automatics, it needs to be 10 points minimum.
Reading 1-1 Fulham
Fulham 2-0 Charlton
Stoke 1-2 Fulham
Fulham 3-0 Luton
Boro 1-0 Fulham
Many seem to be banking on us winning at Stoke.
They're very decent. Couldn't make game on Friday so listened to commentary whilst watching Stoke v Forest. Stoke battered them. Forest had 3 shots on target, 3 goals (one horrific GK error).
I think they're probably the hardest game out of all of those this month.
50% of the shots on target against them, have ended up in a goal, which is v high (37% of Fulham's have, which is pretty high too).
Forest seem to be the luckiest thus far, just 21% of their shots on target against them have resulted in a goal. Amazingly they're also top of goals per shots on target (despite having the least shots on target) in the whole division- 56% (FFC at 31%). Unsustainable luck I'd say.
Reading 1-4 Fulham
Fulham 5-2 Charlton
Stoke 1-0 Fulham
Fulham 1-0 Luton
Boro 0-7 Fulham

I agree with all your results apart from the Reading match.

Wooly I love your surreal Fulham humour 👏 049:gif
We are going to take all the points!
And that's a somewhat disappointing 8 points in October but other teams at the top have also pretty much underperformed so not so bad.
The loss to Stoke being the big mess up really, and playing with ten men for most of the Boro game I guess could be seen as a missed opportunity for two more points, but also as a point gained.
If it was not for those 5 points 'dropped' as I see it, Fulham would be top of the league right now.

I don't mean to put a downer on it but from the fixtures, I'm mildly disappointed about it. We'll have much tougher months where we need to perform I guess.
