leading on from my earlier post about the next 6games in November being make of break for us and MoN especially then how about looking at Decembers fixtures!!!!!!! Home to Chelsea Away to Man Utd Away to Southampton Home to Man City Home to Spurs Away to Liverpool **** me! We could easily end up with 1 or 2 points from that list of fixtures!!! the next 6 games.... Home to villa Away to Everton Away to Fulham Home to WBA Home to QPR Away to Norwich are even more important now, 9points absolute minimum
We all play the same games Poolie, I couldn't give a **** about the fixture list. We should be competitive regardless of oppo.
Aye definitely - it's the "roll over and die" performances that we hate - we've picked up some decent points without playing well this season - if we get 0 points against Chelsea, Man Utd and Man City but put up excellent performances then I don't think it'll bother any of the fans as points from those games are a bonus but the Villa, Fulham, West Brom, QPR & Norwich games are all very winnable (Everton is never winnable as we never beat them!!) - 5 games that, any other season, I'd want 12 points from minimum - now I find myself hoping for 9 and expecting 6 if we're lucky! 31 years in November since my first ever game and this is the worst I've felt in all of that time - maybe it's because of the weight of investment and the direction the club is going outside of the playing field - expectations aren't unrealistic other than when you see the team play!!
That's what it is mate. Our expectations were higher, and quite rightly, making the slap in the face a bit harder. We need to sort it out.
3 points would feel like 6 to me the way we've been playing - a comfortable victory against a Villa side that have been poor this season - Problem is after watching Carlos Cuellar pulling the wooden cart last night, we're ****ed against pace!!!
