Hope Wolves beat West Ham before they play us.

Hope Wolves beat West Ham before they play us.

for many reasons we need this

We just proved that we have a squad with the depth to win away games in the PL; I'd say we should be expectant of a win at home to a club below us in the table and with the probability that we have players left out of the Forest game coming back into to team to start.

Are we ever going to shake off this inferiority complex? I know the manager is the guilty party here by his constant downgrading of our squad and doubting the club's scope to progress. However, we need to welcome these games and see them as easily winnable - not just winnable but ones we have to put in the 3 points column.

Time for this club to get up off its knees and EXPECT more...MUCH MORE.

You've seen Everton before right, this is the moment we have an absolute stinker of a game (hope I'm very wrong)

It’s just his way of teeing up the drama should the result go the way he wants it to which is of course predictably an Everton defeat!

 

[Vaughan]

putting together a string of wins has been hard for us this year as with many teams. if we can win the next two and the cup game that could really help ys solidify in the top half as not many will take 9 from 9

That is very true. As I'm coming from Finland first time to HD you can almost guarantee that next two matches are going to be awful

But anyway great to experience the new stadium and meet some fellow blues!

Not sure if this has been noted, but if Nathan Collins and/or Kayode get booked today, they will miss the game v us.

Brentford could be without 3 of their first choice back 4/5 as Van Den Berg is injured, too.

Both will get booked.

I’m wary of the next 2 games with the expectation at home. I’ll be made up if we get the 6 points from them two games. Will put us in a great position.

 

[PKwalnuts]

I think we smash these and then Wolves easiest 6 points of the year. The cup game worries me.

The cup game is the anniversary of our "goodbye past, welcome future" fixture.

Moyes better win that game - for his own sake as much as ours.

He will not be judged too well if we're eliminated early from this one too.

...and Sunderland are in a worse position to us regarding players out due to injury and AFCON, so he'll have to come up with another excuse if we do get KO'd.

I think we'll be okay in this match as Brentford like putting crosses and long throws into the box so our centre backs should enjoy themselves again

Sunderland match is the big one for me Davek as a cup run is much needed
