What eventual points tally would we be happy with? What would represent progress for us? My predictions Hull (A) - W Swansea City (H) - D Man United (A) - D Sunderland (H) - W WBA (H) - W That's 11 points out of a possible 15, giving us an eventual total of 78. I think this will be enough to at least secure 2nd spot. I am quietly confident going to Old Trafford as well. I hope we can finally dispense with the jinx, once and for all, particularly if Rooney is out. We can take confidence from the win earlier this season.
Swansea will be a tough game, but at home I think we will beat them. Same with Utd. We're on a good run and I can see it lasting for the rest of the season. 15 points out of 15. That'll secure 2nd place, and I can see us achieving it
Ideally: Hull (A): Win Swansea City (H): Win Man United (A): Win Sunderland (H): Win WBA (H): Win A total of 82 Points Realistically: Hull (A): Win Swansea City (H): Win Man United (A): Draw Sunderland (H): Win WBA (H): Win A total of 80 Points Both good scenarios that should secure us 2nd and set us up nicely for good momentum going in to Wembley
I wasn't entirely right either. Goons avoiding defeat at OT itself is virtually a win. But writing was on the wall. History tells goons goof up all the time - when they need to step up and challenge for something more than CL spot.
