Top ten was always target!

Lets be realistic guys,we are stil on track for a top ten finish. That was always the target. Yes,the last 3 results have been poor but we need to move on! We have done well so far

 

Yeah, we've still done well. If these poor results had been spread throughout the season I don't think it'd seem bad at all, it's just that they're all lumped together so it seems horrible.

 

I actually think this is our first real test to see what we're made of . As much as I moaned my tits off about people saying that, I'm starting to think it.

Until Chelsea, I'd say we were coasting. We've lost four of our last six. Before that, we'd taken 25 points from 33 available. It's now up to 27 from 51 available, which is a pretty **** run of results...

Our real test is to see if we can go from living in the clouds, to being brought back down to Earth at 400mph and landing in a huge pile of horse ****, to going back to our winning ways.

Not good enough at the minute.

 

On the evidence of our last 3 games 10 top is out of the question. The other teams in the league are starting to improve while we forget to mark players all togther. The aim is to stay up given we'll be beaten away at Bolton and lose to Liverpool without any shadow of doubt in my opinion.

 

Next 3 games:

Bolton (A)
Liverpool (A)
Man Utd (A)

 

Based on our performances in the first 13 games we could be in the CL. Other teams have improved but Stoke and Villa lost tonight as well. We have just got to take the rough with the smooth, that's football.

 

CL no not for me we never beat anyone convincingly all season but have done ok. The fact is top 10 was never eally in ouir minds until we got deluded again. The injury to Taylor, the suspension of Cabaye and other injuries will occur again and we wimply don't have suitable back up.

 

Must win.

 

Oh Christ! Might be able to get something at Bolton IF we are lucky but not holding out any hope against Liverpool and Man U. Why are we playing top teams in succession this season?

 

Exactly weve lost the next 3 games already.

 

Yea, I know. But I have never felt that sick after conceding like that 3rd goal for a looooong time.

Worked so hard to get back to 2-2. Take the draw and move on. It lasted 5 mins for christ's sake. GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

 

We've let in 6 goals from set-pieces/ crosses since we lost Taylor. Once Williamson comes in or even a new CB I think our form will pick up and we might actually start winning

 

If we play like we did against Blackburn then I think we'll get something from the game as we did really well with possession and it was more like last season (5-1).

Except the difference between last season and this season is we play good one game and **** the next three, so it depends if Coyle can take a good performance away from home and turn it into a run that could get us out of the relegation zone and into where we hoped to be, mid-table.

A lot hinges on if Marcos Alonso has broken his foot again (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/16282674.stm), he has looked really good on the LB role (although according to you lot, Obertan is doing **** all in RM). If Alonso is injured, then Robinson will probably start at LB, and, well... yeah.

 

We playing them away twice in the league this season?

 

The Man U game is at Home actually. Not sure that matters really.

Edit: Beaten to it

 

We'll lose to Bolton, then destroy Man Utd and Liverpool.

 

It is Man Utd

 

Bolton got a decent result against a woeful Blackburn side so are automatically world beaters?????

If we lose vs Bolton then I will start to worry. But lets face it today was one of those games where it could have went either way.

Also depending on what Liverpool turn up we may be able to get a result, especially if Suarez is suspended (depends on appeal I think).

I do agree however that Man Utd is a write off already.

 

I for one am greatful we have accumulated so many points at the start of the season. We have wasted 2 favourable fixtures. Bolton away is a crucial game now. We could be talking 8/9 games without a win.

No matter who you play, what you have done, injuries you have....that is shocking.

 

0 more points this year black December when did we last win on boxing day 1990's? bad run unfortunately and it wont change we need some investment!!! change the record please!!!
