Nexumaster Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Chelsea A 0 pts Leicester H 0pt Everton H 3pts Arsenal A 0pts West Ham A 3pts Man City H 0 pts Brighton H 1pts I reckon that shouldn't be too hard to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The December games take us beyond the halfway point.We've got 15 points. Anybody see us getting more than 5 points? Chelsea A 0 pts Leicester H 1pt Everton H 0 pts Arsenal A 0 pts West Ham A 1 pt ----half way---- Man City H 0 pts Brighton H 3 pts 8 would be ideal. 4 from the Leicester/Everton double header (6 would be fantastic), a point at West Ham and 3 from Brighton.

Dokko Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'd be happy with 5pts from those games. Delighted in fact. Would keep us on track for a 40pt season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everton with Big Sam at the helm is likely to be a hard ask. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Worth remembering that Watford in 17th and Southampton in 8th were separated by just six points by the end of last season. Most of the league is dump, it isn't just us. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not sure how that shows the quality of the league is low. Everyone taking points off each other suggests a competitive league. Whether they're all shite or all good is another matter, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone taking points off each other suggests a competitive league. Whether they're all s**** or all good is another matter, really. We can compete in that group of teams, last night showed that as did our run prior to the Bournemouth defeat. We need everyone fit though, a few injuries to key players like we've had in this winless run and we're screwed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone taking points off each other suggests a competitive league. Whether they're all shite or all good is another matter, really. Well articulated. I've mentioned it a few times, but this is the most competitive league I can remember in a long time, Swansea possibly stand out as being slightly more in trouble than the other teams threatened by relegation, but every other team from about 10th downwards is around about the same level.

Fair comment, I just mean that whilst it may feel like we're the only ones losing all the time at present, it's actually the exact opposite and a couple of wins here and there is enough not only to keep up with the rest, but to make substantial moves in the league table.

Jimburst Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Aye, undoubtedly, I think because there's really only a distinction between top half and bottom half in the league, there are going to be times where 2 or 3 losses in a row will have you in a precarious position. I suppose in these instances it will be as much about 'bottle' and staying calm and sticking to tactics as it will about skill levels of individual teams. I think Rafa will have us well drilled enough to get us out of those positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Last night was an example for me as to why we won’t go down, although we are in a relegation fight or will end up in one. The players will always fight under Rafa and he will always have enough answers to stop us from dropping. It wouldn’t surprise me if we beat Chelsea and then lost at home to Leicester for example.

HaydnNUFC Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 The fixtures for the weekend. Chelsea v Newcastle Brighton v Liverpool Everton v Huddersfield Leicester v Burnley Stoke v Swansea Watford v Spurs West Brom v Crystal Palace Arsenal v Man Utd Bournemouth v Southampton Man City v West Ham A lot of teams in and around us playing each other. Could really have done with 3 points yesterday instead of 1 but not the end of the world. Just hope there's no relegation bedwetting on Saturday.
