Next 5 Games Will Define Our Season

15 points up for grabs.
4 games vs teams currently in top 7.
Depending on their results in the lead up to our game vs QPR, they could be in a legitimate position fighting for play-offs.

Very tough, but should we come through this with at least 4 wins, then the momentum in to the last 6 matches will be huge.

Saturday 29th Feb - Home vs Preston
Saturday 7th March - Away vs Bristol City
Friday 13th - March - Home vs Brentford
Wednesday 18th March - Away vs Leeds
Saturday 21st March - Away vs QPR

The next four are all six pointers, our recent form does not instill  confidence but we need to take it all match by match and hope that at last we find some form.

No doubt the next five games will go a long way to determine the second-best team in west London, if we win all five and playoffs it will be us.

To get autos we have to win them all and especially beat Leeds. Lose to Leeds and the other results become insignificant.
Leeds has their wobble and now are scrapping through games like champions and winners do, they need to be de railed to put the wobbles back on and then to start doubting themselves. The chants will come out of them falling apart, twitter meltdown and that is exactly what we need to do. They have more pressure on them than we do, let's continue the hunt, stalk them and take them down. Play offs and they choke, autos and I don't think they will see the championship again in a very very long time.

You have confused me, 2nd best team in West London, we are in South West London?? Please explain further.

We are not West London Sir, The last time I looked at my compass and my A-Z we are South West London. The clue is on the post code SW6.

Take any five games during a season, especially this time of the season and they could define it. But I never know which Fulham will turn up. Our good away form seems to hide the fact that we are not as adventurous this season. Our defence appears to have tightened up a little but causes problems with our lack of slow movement forward.

All in all it will be a frustrating and exciting and annoying few games. Whatever happens it proves that the Championship is still the most exciting of leagues. Where anybody can beat anybody. 
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

Very true. Due to past poor results, draws to the likes of Leeds probably won't cut it so we'll need to really take away 9 points from next 3 games and just hope Leeds don't...whereas on paper, they probably should so fingers crossed it finally goes our way and we actually take advantage of it.

I still think we'll end 5-6 so we'll see, hopefully I am very much pleasantly surprised!!! And humbly wrong!

But to be fair we are North of the river. WSW perhaps?

Only due to the way the river winds south massively just prior, leaving us technically north of the river but not really. South West all the way.

I was born in Hammersmith. I'm from West London.. my local team is Fulham. We're a West London club, not a South London club.
I was there, standing in the Putney end

Interestingly, Fulham was founded in Fulham Fields W14, which is in a West London postcode now considered West Kensington but use to be North Fulham when the club was founded. Fulham Reach and Fulham Fields are in West London W6, while SW6 borders West London postcodes. If you think Fulham is in South London, because of it postcode then so is Buckingham Palace SW1 in South London, North Acton NW10 is in North London and Brentford's Griffin Park has a postcode of TW8 in Middlesex, so I guess QPR will be the best West London club for a while using your postcode definition.

But Fulham has always  drawn support from adjacent areas of south London, like me, from  Tulse Hill, and my Streatham school mates, who could hop on a 220 bus  to the Cottage. Well, we used to go to Fulham and Chelsea on alternate weeks.
Also, Wolfie 'Citizen' Smith, from Tooting!

In those days who you supported was a lot to do with transport. So for me, the local club was Palace, which most  followed from round there, and there was bus  direct to the ground, coming through Camberwell and herne Hill, and up through Tulse Hill and  Upper Norwoood. But Palace was also the nearest I suppose.

Fulham  was that bit harder to get to, and when i got my Dad to take me, he went on a circuitous route by rail, via Wimbledon.then tube. In those days you had to go to Stockwell to get a tube.

I had an uncle who  supported Arsenal, and got a bus all the way there and i went with him once, and it took ages. Another uncle followed Charlton, because his family  were from Sheppey way, and had always supported them.

Fulham draws supports from south-west london, west london, south london, central london, south-east england and the whole world. Fulham is in southwest london, but is less than a mile from the west london postcode W6 and was founded in west london W14. I said Fulham was one of the  West London teams, but it is also one of the south london teams too as south of the Thames isn't far either. Lets face it people come to Craven Cottage from Putney (South London) and Hammersmith (West London), the team is both.

Fulham is a South West London Club, just ask the post man. I am from South London as thousand of others are who support Fulham, although my family originated from Fulham my local team was the Mighty Dulwich Hamlet.

Isn't South West London part of South London and West London?
Lillie Road is in West London use to be Fulham's home ground and its less than a mile away.
If you only care about postcodes then Brentford is not a West London club, which is crazy.

I am from Fulham Reach W6 so more than a little biased.
