I'd bite your hand off.

Last season we lost to WBA at home, We lost to Liverpool away, We lost to UTD away, We got a lucky draw at Spurs and the last time we faced Hull we'd lost 2-0

I'm looking forwards, not back.

Where tf have you been anyway ?
I checked the other day to see if I had you on ignore !
 

Next game is going to be a difficult one. If we play like we did first half today we should get something from spurs but play like we did second half they will do us.

I think we will be up for it and we have players in the team like schneids Davies and gana who won't bottle the big games. Think we need to start mirallas against spurs and we will get the 3 points.

massive game for us against spuds, a decent performance coming away with a point or more will give mega confidence going into the tough games that follow. There's a swagger about our midfield in particular which suggests that we may come out of the next few games still in a decent position
 

Tottenham - A

Going through a sticky patch and without Rose who has been key to their attacking threats.

A point would be a great but I feel this is a step to far and our great run will come to an end.

LOSE

West Brom - H

Our closest rivals to the coveted 7th place trophy. Pulis' sides have been a thorn in Everton's side.

Our home form has been excellent and I expect it to continue against.

WIN

Hull city - H

Team fighting for survival with a new fighting spirit instilled. Great result against THEM and working well.

The draw at Hull was a line in the sand for the squad a turning point of the season.

WIN

Liverpool - A

A huge test for Koeman and our season.

Last season was the final nail in the coffin for Martinez but I feel this could be the moment we realise just how good our manager really is.

Recently teams have shown you how to play against them, soak up the pressure then counter, which suits our game greatly.

Can see a change of formation to 5-3-2 to aid this.

It will be difficult but depending on injuries/suspensions, if this game was next week, we would win.

WIN

Man Utd - A

Between now and when we play Utd, they will have 7 games which include a Cup Final, 2 legged European games and a FA cup knockout game against Jose's former employers.

This is also a night game so added atmosphere will boost our amazing away support.

DRAW

So in the 5 games
3 WINS
1 DRAW
1 DEFEAT
= 10 from 15
 
Actually looking forward to the Derby for the first time in a long while...fancy us to go there and do them.

United away and West Brom at home are the two I'd be most concerned with. We won't lose at Spurs.
 

Lads we all know that we are not going to turn up to the Derby with a full team out playing well. Some key players will inevitably be missing, some will get kicked off the pitch early doors, Gareth Barry will come on at some point, and we'll still get completely bulldozed as usual.
 
Unfortunately I've just realized that looking objectively, in the last 9 games we've played teams in the following positions:

3rd, 10th, 13th, 14th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th

Expecting:

Two losses
One draw
Two wins (home matches vs WBA and Hull)

= 7 points

i know there's loads of these but were on a good run now
creeping up on the ones above these are going to be the test for me
to see if we can keep it up.. some hard games there.

How many points do you reckon?

Tottenham - A
West Brom - H
Hull city - H
Liverpool - A
Man Utd - A

can see us losing a couple myself, fingers crossed not. COYB!

Spurs- 0 points
West Brom- 1 point
Hull- 3 points
Liverpool- going for a shock 3 points at Anfield.
Utd- 1 point

8 out of 15 would be acceptable although the 2 big ones are West Brom and Liverpool. A win against WBA keeps them at arms length for the race for 7th and a win against the kopites would do wonders for squad morale/be great to get one over on them.
 
11 points 3 wins West Brom, Hull, United 2 draws Spurs, RS. If we manage that we could even be in with an outside chance of 4th. West Brom is most important if we are talking making sure of 7th. If we want to pay down a market though we need to be aiming for a minimum of 11 points.
