i think its doable with fullback signings made this window, and if branthwaite gives us a huge lift
having kdh and ndiaye back will be massive too
Exactly what I wanted to say.A stupid thing to do, but I'll do it anyway as somebody has to.
Against Leeds we will have Ndiaye and Gana back and fully fit, so assuming it'll be Ndiaye in for McNeil and same XI otherwise, possibly Gana for Roehl too.
The squad from yesterday will have had a full week of training; another week for Branthwaite to regain fitness, and hopefully Dewsbury-Hall is inching ever closer to returning.
We now have series of games where each one is winnable until mid-March. Now I do not expect full points, of course, but the challenge must be to dramatically improve our home form while maintaining solid away performances that seem to always put us there or thereabouts.
Next five fixtures: Leeds home, Brighton and Fulham away, then Bournemouth and United at home. Dunno about you, but with a squad is almost fully fit, I'd be expecting us to take at least 8 points there, and hopefully more (win 2 of the 3 home games, remain unbeaten away is doable). That would put us on 26 games played and still well in contention for a European place.
Come on David, be brave. Don't do stupid things like shifting O'Brien back to right back or resting Ndiaye for a game or two as he's been at the ACON.

Expecting Everton to take points when they should…A stupid thing to do, but I'll do it anyway as somebody has to.
