Great podcast as usual...its now in our hands. Huddersfield for me are going to be the surprise package in the second half of the season. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

I think Huddersfield could sneak into that second space this half of the season. Thanks for the kind words Graham, we really appreciate it, KRO! :)

[@Luke86811]

Great podcast guys, haven’t commented in a while. been busy and a bunch of other stuff, so i apologize that i haven’t commented in a while but congrats on being 1st in the league still and congrats on beating Lincoln City 2-1 in the FA Cup today! Well done

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Luke which is greatly appreciated. Nice to hear from you again and hope you are well. KRO!

[@antonymatthews5628]

New to the podcast with this my second episode… really enjoying it

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Anthony which is really appreciated. We are pleased that you found our podcast and that you are enjoying our content. KRO!

[@StevenHooke]

Cracking show as always guys, let's get the 15 points why not, we have more than enough fire power and we are keeping a lot of clean sheets remember, KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Very true Steven! I think we're more then capable of getting maximum points and what a run that would be. KRO! :)

[@mewisj00]

Great pod as always gents - as much as I wanna say 15 points from 5, realistically I agree with Gary and think 10 is a fair assessment. KRO, Joe

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks for the kind words mate, greatly appreciated. Between 10-15 would certainly keep us in those automatics and on track with promotion form. KRO! :)

[@Tonypoolebcfc]

Hi both ,our squad will see us through,Wrexham Wycombe and Huddersfield will tire and have injuries , I'm sure we will add a couple of players aswell , 13 points is more than achievable.KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Love it, thanks Tony. Greatly appreciated. KRO! :)

[@jet1flyover637]

We ( Hudds) already have our injuries, a full list of regular first teamers on the injury list. We get one back, then we lose another. We get two back We lose another and have one sent off ! But we're still unbeaten in 15!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

@@jet1flyover637 yes, fair play to the job Michael Duff and your players are doing. KRO.

[@PaulMilton-ik2tn]

Myself and my son and Daughter in law are coming up to the Exeter game I'm looking forward to seeing the fans park and the new club shop my best mate said I wouldn't recognise the place KRO

[@PaulMilton-ik2tn]

Forgot to say great podcast guys KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks Paul, appreciate the kind words mate :) Oh yes, the place will be unrecognisable. The difference is staggering. If you see us pop over and say hello, we love chatting with people. KRO! :)

[@2002ChrisK]

To get promotion a team needs to average 2 points game, usually meaning you win your home games and draw away games, so 10 points from the next 5 games would do me. We are improving as a team, we might get some new signings in and with the improving weather over the coming months and so pitches can only help us. Of course great video from you both, knowing more about League One and our beloved BCFC tha any of the experts do! KRO!

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Chris which is greatly appreciated. We are pleased that you enjoy our podcasts. Yes, if we can average 2 points per game in these next five fixtures that should set us up nicely for the rest of the season. KRO!

[@pulpet9193]

Hi guys,10 points or above would do for me. Would be fantastic to beat Wrexham at their place with all the interest in the match and maybe give ourselves a bit of breathing space. We could have a healthy gap from third place at the end of the five games, here's hoping! Have a great weekend,in the hat for the next round hopefully and up the Blues! KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

With their home record a win away would be fantastic. I’ll take that as well mate. Thanks, KRO! :)

[@BB49.]

10 is a good amount though it also depends on who you lose the 5 points to👍

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks mate, I’d take 10-15 with it being realistic that we’ll drop some points along the road taking emotion away from it. KRO! :)

[@leaveourstatuesalone.3378]

Hi guys, great pod as usual. Gonna go with 12 points, 4 wins, 1 loss, 💙KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks for this, greatly appreciated and I would take 12 points, thats certainly still automatic promotion form. KRO! :)

[@grahamfoster6222]

I have a couple of Friends Who are Bolton fans. They both said that wrexham we're the poorest team they have seen for a long time KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Cheers Graham. At home they have only dropped 4 points and conceded 8 goals. Expecting a tough game. Very best mate, KRO! :)

[@RICHP1979]

It will be interesting to see if we make any January signings. It would be good to add one or two or three if we can just to freshen things up a bit and add a bit of extra depth, quality and/or cover. We definitely have the best squad in the league already but with Sanderson going out on loan (no surprise with this move other than it being only a loan), a move that i hope works out well for him and this will be good news for Blues when we look to sell him. In addition we've seen Khela going out on loan, which is good for his development as he'll get the minutes he needs but that leaves us another player short to call upon as he has been useful to call upon at times. Another win in the FA cup sees us go into the fourth round so that's another game in our schedule and that means that the Peterbrough game will now have to be rescheduled. Wycombe are still in the cup so they're in the same boat as us, but of course Wrexham and Huddersfield are both out, but i love the fact we're still in the FA cup. I hope we get that lot down the road in thw 4th round or a big club 😆🤣🤣😁 I think the draws against Blackpool and Stockport respectively were, in some ways, a bit of a blessing as I think that this has galvanised the squad, and there's a bit of a siege mentally. Optimised by how well Laird played against Wigan and the way he celebrated his contribution in that game. I loved the intensity of his celebration. He meant business and I think that this is the mentality that we're going to see really take force as we push for promotion. We have some tough games, no doubts about it. Most notably, the Wrexham game for all the reasons that you highlight and the Huddersfield game who are very much a team in form as it currently stands. So, with the Peterbrough game now needing to be rescheduled. I would happily take 10 points from the next 4 league games out but i think we could make a real statement and show our quality and take all 12. The FA cup game was useful in giving minutes to those that needed them and a rest or extra time to recover for those that needed it. That goal by Dykes will have done him the world of good and given us all hope and confidence that his time at Blues will start to take off. That goal was pure class and quality. There's definitely a player in there and a goal like that proves it Yokoyama showed real quality and composure for his goal too. He's a young man with lots to learn but we definitely have a player on our hands who will benefit from being at Blues and learning his trade and the more he learns, the better he will get and the more and more we will see of him. KRO 💙

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Richard which is greatly appreciated. A good win in the cup and it would be great if we could get a decent Championship or Premier League team in the next round. Chris Davies has said that we will be looking for another Centre Back in this window to replace Dion so that will be interesting. Does it mean that Neumann will be announced or someone else? The rest of the transfer window will be interesting for sure! KRO!

[@RICHP1979]

​@BCFCRoyalBlueKRO 💙

[@boybrownvr6522]

I’m thinking 11 points is good for us and keeps us easily on track to win the league.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Definitely mate. Thanks for commenting, KRO! :)

[@paulw9873]

Hoping for more but 10 would do me, keeps us on track for one of the automatics. Why are there Thursday fixtures now - do you know? I splashed out & bought a subscription to Blues TV so now I get to see the games although does make for some eary mornings. Enjoyed the podcast again guys, thanks for all the content & the hard work you put into them. KRO.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. We are pleased that you enjoy our podcasts. Good news on the Blues TV subscription, you will be able to watch all the games now! KRO!

[@pauldutton4526]

I think 9 points imo 2 wins 3 draws anything above that is a bonus

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Paul which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@PaulElstins-gt2qc]

💙👃🔵 YES WIN THE LEAGUE GARY AND MATT HAPPY TIMES FOR THE ROYAL BLUES 😃 😉 🥳 NEXT WEEKEND AT ST ANDREW'S 18 JANUARY THE ROYAL BLUES 3 - EXETER CITY 0 YES HAPPY 😊 😉 TIMES ...K.R.O.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks very much Paul, we hope you're keeping well. KRO! :)

[@joeswift5296]

Rathbone, danger man for Wrexham, incredible engine and a talented footballer. Fletcher is very dangerous off the bench and Barnett is quality in his delivery into the box. They have been cut open down the left wing a few time though. No reason why we shouldn’t expect to win all of these games. KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Cheers Joe, Rathbone is a very good player. Been impressed with what I've seen of him when they've popped up on my feed etc. I think we can and have the capability to win these as well but knowing football and blues I would take 11 which would be 2 draws. Thanks mate, greatly appreciated. KRO! :)

[@nkskro80]

In the voice of Kevin Keegan “I would love it if we beat them!” About Wrexham. I get they deserve to be where they’re in the league but they’re very self entitled. Because they’ve just had 2 very successful seasons with winning a lot of games their players really do spit the dummy out when they get beat like they did at our place & when they lost away at Barnsley. I reckon Huddersfield will be more of a test as I predict them to finish 2nd behind us. I’d take 10/11 points though from this run in.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

I love that quote / clip. Watched it on KZbin many times. I saw their draw at Bristol Rovers where McClean went piling in from absolutely no where after the game had finished. Was quite entertaining and I expect some fireworks in the game at their place. I think 11+ would be a very good points return as well. KRO! :)

[@stevepaintin4647]

15 please

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks Steve, greatly appreciated and would love this, KRO! :)

[@rayfarren1280]

I think 13

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Would love this and a real possibility, KRO! :)

[@marktrickett5081]

10 points 3 win 1 draw 1 defeat

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment Mark which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@bcfc18751]

Predictions?? 10 points would be 3W 1D 1L Lose to ? 13 points 4W 1D (D with?) I predict the loss will be either Wrexham or Huddersfield, the draw v Wrexham. Beating Lincoln in the cup could be the deciding factor between 10 and 13 points. 15... Heaven!! KRO

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Sadly mate, that was dads prediction and it's Matt on comments today 😆 For me, the worst case was 11 which would be wins except for the 2 draws against Wrexham and Huddersfield. Even though I think we can win them, I would take a draw taking into consideration form and home records etc. Roll on Lincoln tomorrow. Thanks, mate, KRO! :)

[@JustMyFish]

All 5 are very winnable Wrexham not all that, Huddersfield are the better out the 5. Exeter nothing spectacular but it's the one we would more likely slip up in lol Rotherham bad at home not so bad away, but we have more than enough to beat them. Peterborough also nothing spectacular. I want 15 but I think 11pionts is expectable.

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. KRO!

[@oldnblue]

Come out on top from these games , 11-12 pts minimum and it will ease the pressure on the run in.. 🤷‍♂️

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thank you very much for your comment which is greatly appreciated. A thing above 10 points foe these five games would be a good return. KRO!

[@alastairharris1866]

I really hope Wrexham get promoted. I also really hope we beat them at their place! Is it any harder than Wigan?

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks for commenting mate. A win would be lovely. Their home form is outstanding though with 2.79 average points per game so expecting a difficult game for sure. KRO! :)

[@DonnaKRO82]

Great show as always! Love the insight to the opposition! Really good games coming up! Hopefully we are back to a full strength squad with super sub options! KRO! 💙🤍🫶🏼

[@BCFCRoyalBlue]

Thanks for the kind words Donna, we really appreciate it :) It's a big few games but confident we can do really well coming out of this. KRO! :)
