And then Sunderland in the cup?

This season's definitive run of fixtures.

Beat Burnley and well go on a little run.

If we don't it could be a depressing couple of games... are Senegal out yet?

 

[formerly manx toffee]

Each game is definitely winnable and we may be favourites. Putting a decent run together through them is a bit trickier !

 

[Zatara]

10pts should be the realistic target.

3 wins and a draw vs Forest.

Moyes has to start showing this European form hes aspiring to and having the players speak about.

Each game will be a massive grind. Won’t be pleasant viewing but hopefully we get the right side of most of em.

7 points I reckon.

 

[Igrok]

Yes, McNeil hat trick coming…

I can live with a productive grind. Getting results is the only way one can justify such an approach. However, in the absence of two of our most creative players - and a functioning striker - it is incumbent on the defence to be tight and to avoid crazy nonsense like last night. We won't worry too much about Chelsea and Arsenal if we take 10 points from these games and progress in the cup. Moyes will need to come up with something a little more progressive to do that, though. I wouldn't be too confident we take more than 5-6 points from these games right now. And if we don't, he'll have his excuse to rest players for the cup...and we know where that leads...

Calvert Lewin might score a few. Oh hang on, I just woke up.

Haha. It’s too obvious. The angst has to be created slowly and build to crescendo. You used to be so so good at this. Are you too busy at work !

Oh we’re long past those days man, we are in the pissiest age of super bloo entitlement and insta rage. And I for one welcome it.

Love these threads

The concern is that these are the fixtures where we should be picking up close to maximum points. If we had Dewsbury-Hall and Ndiaye, you would be confident. But it’s going to be tough without them.

Yes the teams we are playing aren’t great. But neither are we without our best players. I can’t remember us creating a single chance yesterday. The 1-0 flattered us, we were predictably sterile going forward. I’m actually a little bit worried.
