Our next 5

Right, so I thought I'd do 5 for this round as it takes us up to Christmas and it's a pretty season defining set of games:

Watford (H) W
Norwich (H) W
Newcastle (A) L
West Ham (H) L
Villa (A) W

Probably need at least 3 wins out of that? Anything above that would be a great return and less would surely leave us cut adrift?



I'll go for 7 - two wins, two defeats and a draw.

 

10 .

3 wins and a draw .

 

11

 

I hadn’t realised we were playing in the Irish League now...

7 points.

 

11 points, if we play like we did yesterday.

 

15.

If Jasper can be optimistic, I think I can too


Seriously, though I think we will get 9, the three wins will be 2 at home (I know, I know) and one away.

 

It’s **** or bust with those fixtures. Back to back wins in the first two would be nice.

 

Ten.

 

Yep back to back wins would probably give us such a boost, that we'd win the next three.

Individually, they are all winnable and in a different set of fixtures (ie with Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea etc thrown in) we would pick any one of those games as the one we could win.

 

Just off for a lie down .

 

Half asleep... funnily enough I looked at it three times as it didn't look right but still didn't notice

 

That home double header is Ralph's equivalent to Ron's Watford/WBA one in his first season.

 

I’m guessing we won both?

 

And you call yourself a supporter,pah!

 

Get the full 15 points, and we'll be laughing. 24 points from 18 games would be way beyond the necessary requirement to stay up. Potentially we might only need a further 10 points from our remaining 20 games.

Get 8 or 9 points, and we'll be right back on track. 17 or 18 points from 18 games is basically keeping things on track for a final-day relegation battle.

Get 5 or less points, and we can say hello to the Championship.

Other than 14 points, I think that anything is realistically possible from these 5 games. They are huge. If you offered me 10 points today, I would say yes please.

 

Oh well...lets go for broke....18 points..........that'll do for a while............(I'll get me coat.......)

 

Watford (H) W
Norwich (H) W
Newcastle (A) D
West Ham (H) D
Villa (A) W

11 points which I would be more than happy with.

 

Erm….was that deliberate? Even you should be able to work out it's impossible to get 18 points from 5 games.

 

I think Ralph will now have realised after yesterday that going 4 at the back is the way to go from now on. We are **** at the back whether we have 4 or 5. The difference is with only 4 at the back we look much better going forward.

 

Can't see this team going 6 games unbeaten.
