    So 4 games in ten days in a busy Christmas period before a welcome break from the league for the FA Cup. How many points from:

    Hudders (H) D
    Spurs (A)
    United (A)
    Palace (H)

    Looks tough that, particularly with the recent revival of Palace, definitely can't see anything at Old Trafford and we've already said how big the Hudders game this weekend is.

    I'll go for 4, which would hopefully be enough to keep us out of the drop zone.

    7.

    Beat Huddersfield, go into spurs with confidence and nick a point. get hammered by united after over rotating and bounce back against palace.

    maybe.

    3 points is the absolute minimum required. 6 points is the ideal number. Anything more than that is a bonus.

    6 Would be good....assuming against Hudders and Palace, but Palace are hot to trot at the moment. More likely 4....Hudders (please, God) and a draw (could be against any of the other teams as we have run top teams close). 7 Points or more would be regarded in the future as the New Miracle at Christmas.

    I will go with my usual optimistic thinking of 1 point. A draw with Palace

    Poor Palace. That would be utterly depressing for them.

    The pattern I notice is we play well, and lose against good teams, and crap and lose against bad ones. Is that the pattern of what you speak? ;)

    12 points, we will surge up the table like we did under Koeman from December onwards in the 2015-2016 season...

    No doubt we'll surge somewhere. Up seems unlikely though.
