Everton (a) - 1 Southampton (a) - 1 Watford (h) - 3 Leeds (a) - 1 Everton (h) - 3 Aston Villa (h) - 3 West Ham (a) - 1 Brentford (a) - 3 Brighton (h) - 1 Have added what wr should be aiming for as a minimum from them games. Would happily swap a loss at Everton and/or West Ham for a win at somewhere like Leeds like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 To be honest like, looking at Burnleys games in hand and upcoming 4 or 5 games, I think we haven't got a massive amount to be worried about for them. It's only Watford you can maybe see them beating at home with any real certainty. Then if that theoretically happens Watford have Wolves (a) and Palace (h) which would probably give a 2-4 point return. Watford are the team we absolutely must beat at SJP now. We may just catch Leeds of our own accord. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we'll have all of our January business done by the time we go to Elland Road, doubt we'll have it all sorted by Watford but should have at least 2 in for that. Plus with Watford's better players at the AFCON that needs to be earmarked as 3 points. Just hope Watford don't try and postpone it as a result of that.

You have to factor in that near the end of the season teams who have got nothing to play for will be putting out weakened line ups, so relegation threatened teams suddenly start picking up unexpected points. That will be doubly so this season where the majority of them want to see us relegated. We really will need to do this ourselves, that means getting to 36 points one way or the other, and not relying on help from other teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 As soon as I hear the phrase "no team has ever..." I just switch off and disregard whatever follows it. No team has ever headed into the January transfer window with a fuckload of cash ready to be spent to improve their first XI instantly in 4 or 5 positions.

This is true, they could spend very little and play it safe? What do you reckon is most likely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 We're going to end up 17th, maybe above Leeds if we go on a run. Not too fussed about Burnley's games in hand, they're shite and don't have spending power. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See them and Norwich as definite for relegation that leaves 1 spot and surely we can better Burnley or Leeds. Surely the board know now the risk vs reward is massive and we should be looking at getting in as many players required and spending limits are out the question.

Kid Icarus Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I get the whole club over country thing, but that's a piss take really. It's the risk that comes with signing African players and it's unreasonable to expect players to pull out of playing for their country on that stage.

Danh1 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Reading the replies to that Tweet, this could be a win-win for us. He goes and they lose him for a few weeks, or they stop him going and it could potentially be the end of him at Watford going by his precious behaviour.

HaydnNUFC Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Watford will or can lose Dennis, Troost-Ekong, Masina, Sarr, Louza, and Etebo to the AFCON. Hope they don't try and get games postponed as a result. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
