Don't want to put a damper on recent results but our last three games are against the current top three in the form table, although we ourselves are eighth. Newcastle's last two games are against teams in the bottom six of the form table, although they themselves are bottom. Hull have one in top ten and one in bottom five. Hope the form book goes out of the window in the next few games
You must have been talking to Concrete Tony. He's still worried and a little pessimistic at the minute. I'm sure you'll both be a lot happier next saturday night. Form books are a waste of print this time of the season mate. It's our last home game of the season next week. We won't lose it!!!
I too do not want to put a dampener on our recent revival but I honestly feel that both Southampton and Everton did not commit themselves 100%. That's not to detract from our improved showings in the last couple of games but come the Leicester game I feel they will have a go at us and under Dicks stewardship I think we will beat them virtually ensuring EPL footy next season. Having said that, ever the optimist, we will get the points off both Chelsea and Arsenal.
Since my 'incident' we have drew at Stoke then beat Southampton and Everton. I'm away to reload, just incase...
To be fair though, Everton had 73% possession. They laboured hard but just couldn't finish yesterday. I thought we defended magnificently yesterday. Everyone threw themselves in front of the ball, we were so disciplined and didn't give too many stupid free kicks away around the box. So I don't think we should under-estimate our performance. Remember we played a team that Utd 3-0 last week.
I'm certainly not knocking our performance BM thought everyone put a shift in just feel Lukaku, Osman, Barclay and Coleman could have had better efforts at goal.
I was pessimistic while we were in the relegation zone. Refuse to be until we drop back into it. A point against Leicester wouldn't be the worst thing in the world but it would leave us needing another point from somewhere. Need to beat them.
We would beat Barcelona next Saturday with this team, they are well and truly up for it and we will win at Chelsea. 48,000 please and bring your scarves, hats, flags, banners and nerve pills ! for the Leicester game.
