    Did a couple of these earlier on in the season and figured with 15 games left to go now time to start looking ahead to the runs coming up.

    Next Five:

    City (A)
    Wolves (H)
    Forrest (A)
    Man U (H)
    West Ham (A)

    Some difficult games in there vs the two Manchester teams, Forrest away is a tough fixture - They've taken 19 points at home this season vs 6 on the road. West Ham and Wolves battling relegation will be difficult to break down and our lack of finishing is a worry atm!

    How many points are we going to rack up?
    Revenge against Man U?
    Drop points vs bottom half teams?
    Can the strikers find their shooting boots?
    Will the return of Bruno spark a revival?
    Can we re-find the form from the first 15 games in the run in?

    Wonder what would happen if we ended the season behind Fulham, Liverpool, Brighton and Brentford.

    To say I’m worried about a complete second half capitulation is an understatement.

    Strange, I hadn’t noticed any worries in your posts.

    Imagine if we got hit by an asteroid too… or Obi are all the food and we starved to death.

    Or, even worse, Lascelles got a run in the team.

    10-12

    Unlikely to get anything against City, but we'd be expecting to win the rest.

    City (A) 2-0 loss
    Wolves (H) 1-0 win
    Forrest (A) 0-0 draw
    Man U (H) 1-1 draw
    West Ham (A) 1-1 draw.

    Maybe being a bit too pessimistic.

    City (A) 2-0 loss - Haaland and Foden
    Wolves (H) 1-0 win - Isak late winner.
    Forrest (A) 0-1 win - I feel we might just do it.
    Man U (H) 1-1 draw - We'll be back to a full strength and I think we'll grind a draw.
    West Ham (A) 1-1 draw.

    Going for the full 15 no logical reason other than being positive!

    City (A) 2-0 loss
    Wolves (H) 1-0 win
    Forrest (A) 1-0 loss
    Man U (H) 1-2 loss
    West Ham(A) 1-1

    Can't see any sudden surge of form considering the striker options
