    Just noticed some comments about our next run of games. Our next 8 games until christmas and people are expecting us to really push on. I remember coming up to christmas last season, we played newcastle,wba and watford lost got one point.

    i iagree with aussie, i look at these fixtures and i expect us to drop a few points. If we are to be serious about anything then we need to be winning the majority of these games.

    WBA is a horrible game. I cannot playing them. I think we will draw this game.
    some tricky games in there tha people are expecting to win easliy. Its not going happen that way. If we are still in the top 4 after these nine games then i fancy us to finish in the top 4. If not then we are done.

    next 9 games
    WBA
    Palace
    watford
    southamtpon
    sunderland
    borunemouth
    west ham
    boro
    everton

    Sean,the 3 points coming against the Bitters I presume? We should be winning all of those games,no excuses. Monday was the only game this season where we haven’t played that well (I disagree with the people who say that we were poor in the Burnley match. We weren’t,it was down to poor decision making,leading to desperation with our shots. We controlled that game) and we still got a point,and would have had 3 if De Gea hadn’t pulled off a worldie save. The more I see of this team,the more positive I’m getting about our prospects this season

    ST, saturday is a difficult game. All teams are going to come and sit back. They will target the keeper etc. They are just tricky games. Games we usually mess up on.

    out of that list last season we got 14 points. That would be a dreadful return this season

    WBA – drew
    Palace – won
    watford – won
    southamtpon – lost
    sunderland – won
    borunemouth – won
    west ham – lost
    boro n/a
    everton – drew

    Sean – To be fair Gerrard Houllier used to say it was all about averaging 2 points a game over the season, that would garuntee CL, and give you a chance of being in the title race at the end of the season, If we got the results from last season over those games added with a win from the Boro game we would be on 34 after 17 games, spot on it, although I have to admit I would be very dissapointed if we got that 🙂

    From what ive seen of our performance so far after 8 games and the 2nd half of last season, i really think we can challenge for the title but falling short. our defence is still suspect amd maybe we lack that 20 goal a season striker. But our first team on their day is as good as any in the league and barring any catastrophe like long term injuries to coutinho and firmino i dont see why we cant challenge

    Redsforever – I know what you mean about a 20+ goals a season scorer, but you could argue we have that with Studge but we seem to be more dangerous attack wise without him, only Arsenal and City have scored more than us (1 goal), and they have conceded, 1 and 2 goals less than us this season, I would say we have had a harder start than either of these clubs, so we have to consider it a possibility, we are still 2nd favourites with the bookies.

    Paxman, sturrdige looks a diferent player these days. In 13/14 he was very quick and strong. Now it seems that hes lost his pace. And strength even. Maybe theres just been too many injuries..
