Now it starts

........I mean the games we must go out to try and win. After Chelsea, Spurs, West Ham, Man City in last 4 games where we played not to lose, we now have Norwich, Swansea, Southampton, Sunderland, Villa, Fulham, Wigan, Everton, Stoke, Reading (and Man Utd) in our next 11 games. A LOT of winnable games there...COYRs

 

You can't build anything without foundation ... we have kept clean sheets against the european and premiership champions and look dangerous on the break. I think we should play like this now as we can open up team when we break and I believe Remy will score a few this way.

 

not wishing to be too glum but wernt they winnable first time around too

 

I know that...never said anything to the contrary. Harry has had it spot on in the last few games...playing for a draw at home to 2 of the most lethal counter attackers (City and Spurs) was the right tactics. People keep saying we need wins quickly but those draws were vital to our continued recovery from a disastrous start. Stepping it up now against Norwich with 2 strikers is the next step.

 

Do you think with Harry in charge we would have lost those games?

 

brief period of glumness over
looking forward to lots of wins

 

.....

 

don't know
but if we can get 5 points from Chelsea spurs and city
I think we should get enough points to finish 17th

 

Harry has worked his magic and tightened up the defence. He has proven that he knows how to set us up not to loose against the bigger teams. Now comes his big test. Can he somehow find a system against the weaker teams to create more chances while still keeping it tight.

 

...and can we do it without Mr Nelsen?

 

This is the table at the same stage last year. Quite similar to this year.

and only the bottom team stayed up

 

prefer to be on 21 points now though

 

Still, if we dont beat Norwich it is probably all over. Point from Man C is great achievement but justna point agains Norwich would be a big disappointment.

 

Not sure how its over if we don't beat Norwich....plenty of points to go.
