AS we all know october is coming to an end, and november will be alot colder, and our unbeaten will most likely end that month (if not away to stoke). 10th Nov will be our 15th game, with next 6 being stoke (A) , everton (H) man city (A), man utd (A), chelsea (H) and then norwich (A). What do you lovely people reckon? how will do and what league position come week before xmas., we will inevitably drop points, aka November. I Think we can get 6/7 points, think first loss might be against stoke. if we do get lets say 5 which is not so ridiculous then we can easily hit 30 points by january window but should aim for 40, because if we get 40 or near it we can still have a worse post-jan season and get well within top ten. i know 40 will be hard but anywhere from 30-40 will be good. Does anyone else think we can finish top 6? 58 points got the bin dippers 6th. is 60 asking too much.
Stoke - Draw Everton - Win Man City - Loss Man Utd - Loss Chelsea - Draw Norwich - Draw/win That's what we're capable of if we turn up. Stoke are almost impossible to beat at their home ground, but it doesn't mean that they're just as good at winning games. A draw is certainly possible and we can match up to their physical side, as we have a few big players of our own. Everton, they're a good side, but we're at home and we can beat them. We tend to turn up against the better sides as we have something to prove. Everton fits that bill nicely. Man City and Man Utd at their home grounds just seems too hard. They're rampant. If we got a draw in either of these games I'd be over the moon, but hey, at least it gets them out of the way. Everyone else has to face them, and as long as everyone else is also dropping points in these games (which 90% will) then we aren't really being put at a disadvantage. Chelsea are bloody good still, but it's at our ground, and if we play really well we could get a point. If we can do it against Spurs we can do it against Chelsea. As for Norwich, we can beat them if we don't underestimate them.
I think 7 points is reasonable - wins against Norwich and either of Everton or Stoke. Anything we can pick up against Citeh, Manure of Chelski is a bonus.
This is what I'm thinking atm: Stoke - Draw Everton - Win Man City - Defeat Man Utd - Defeat Chelsea - Draw Norwich - Draw 6 out of 18. We will probably still be about 5th in the league come the end of that imo
Haha yeah, from what we've seen of Norwich this season they don't like to give up. One game at a time though you're right, who knows what our confidence may be like after November.
Yep. We could have key injuried, be on a 5 game losing streak and might have pressed the well known self destruct button by then haha
If we play at our best then we can go unbeaten through them all lol. On our day we can get a point at the 2 Manchester teams
True, we were robbed against them at home but tbh i'd take anything against either of them. Citys team is just so good and Man U have got that mentality
Yeah they are the best two teams - pure class. Hope one of them wins tomorrow as it would mean us and one of them are the only unbeaten teams . Probably be a draw though
