our current form

http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/matchday/form-guide.html

sitting nicely in 5th spot but obviously room for improvement

 

If we hadn't been robbed by that **** against Sunderland................

 

Let's hope that we can kick on and have a better second half to the season than the first, which I think will be the first time we have achieved that.

 

I might take a hit or two on this but I'm not convinced we need much in the window , paying nothing out and staying up is a best case scenario . We're on good form since Curtis and Guido have been in charge despite bad breaks in games .As breaks come our way , like today and even out , we should glido with Guido imo .

 

Yep, all we need is for Gomis to stay on his feet, stay onside and shove the ball in the onion bag

 

I still think Eder will get his chance too , that should help to spur Gomis on , that and the responsibilities of a new baby .

 

We haven't really seen him have a good run yet, but if Guidolin wants to play 3-5-2 then he may have an important role to play. I hope so, because I don't like seeing players "wasted" (like Tabaneou)

 

Although I don't Ike to see players "Wasted " , it's the money wasted that plays a bigger role for me .
We're not a club than can be wasteful if we are to survive , Gomis will make 800,000 pounds the rest of this season , I'd like to see him attempt to earn it . Not sure what Eder makes , but we payed 5,000,000 up front for him Whitey , we deserve to see him given a deserved chance as we level out a bit in the table . Good for him , good for Gomis to be pushed and good for the club to get value . If he doesn't work out , fine but let's test the money we spent .Especially if we deem it wasted money to bring in someone trying to scalp us in panic this window .

 

When you put it like that, 800 grand for what he does is a ******* disgrace.

 

Personally think the bottom 4 won't change much, think its about time for clubs like Villa, Newcastle and especially Sunderland to drop after scraping by season after season. As long as you've enough points ahead of Sunderland when they do eventually have their traditional end of season run, you'll easily stay up.

As a Leicester fan, we know how you feel, always in games, but just losing them by the odd goal is frustrating as hell, but it won't last like you've seen from your current couple of matches.

Although you were thoroughly screwed over in the Sunderland match, it may have lit a fire that can carry you away from relegation entirely. Think our clubs will finish in roughly the same area next season, somewhere between 8th and 12th

 

I'm not so sure, LW. We could easily have lost that yesterday - they missed two sitters from 5 yards out. But it was a gutsy performance for sure, and after just a week in charge Guidolin has them playing again and that's what's encouraging.

As for Leicester I can see you winning the title and I really hope you do. The big boys have had it easy for way too long in this League.

 

Yes, I'd second that, keep it up Leicester

 

I think eder was a marked improvement on gomis..He was on 3 whole minuites, but not offside once!!

 

The game at WBA will be really interesting. Guido will have had 2 weeks with the team and WBA will be starting to feel some pressure having drawn their last two games at home and their 6 game record since the start of Jan is P6 W2 D3 L 1 with one of the wins against Bristol City in the cup. The draw looks favourite which I would settle for to keep the unbeaten run going.

 

No matter what other teams do next set of games , if we beat West Brum we are in 14th place , probably 5 or 6 points from the relegation zone after 24 games .
Considering after 21 Games we were in 17th place , a point from the relegation zone 5 or 6 points from 14th , what a turn around in 3 games that would be . I think we will beat West Brom , semi easily.

 

We need a really good Feb and March as I don't like the look of April and May. We need to try to be at about 35 point by end Feb.

 

Exactly , a good Febuary March might spur a good April March against tougher teams , without pressure involved
A bad Febuary March could be catastrophic .
Ps ... You are the master of the avatar by the way glam.......super

 

I reckon the target should be 39 points by the end of March. Would be ecstatic if we achieved this.
If we fall just short and are on about 35 points by the end of March I will still like our chances of staying up, needing about 5 points from 7 games.
Less than 35 points by the end of March and I will be bricking it, but it'll be exciting at least!

Target:
February
West Brom (a) = 1 point
Crystal Palace (h) = 3 pts
Southampton (h) = 3 pts

March
Norwich (h) = 3 pts
Bournemouth (a) = 1 point
Aston Villa (h) = 3 pts


I see Spurs (a) and Arsenal (a) as free shots. Anything obtained is a bonus.
We need at least 10 points from the 6 games above.

 

Next 4 home games are crucial.
Palace
Saints
Norwich
Villa

12 points is not to unrealistic for this, but I think we will get 10.

Then next home game is Chelsea, again very winnable!
