Next 5 League games

Not one for pulling this card, but we have hsd some absolute shocking decisions go against us in the last month.
The penalty shouts against Brighton and Leicester are two off the top of my head.

It's a fair point and one of the things that annoys me in football. Referees seem to get so much wrong and the vast majority of the time when it works against sides like us there is this mentality from everyone of 'just get on with it'. There are far too many awful referees out there - Mariner, Moss, Atkinson etc.

But given we lost 0-2 it does come across as clutching at straws even if it's a valid point. Frustrating how these things can influence a game though. We get one back at that moment and the whole outlook changes. Psychologically it's massive for both teams and presumably Fuchs would have been on a booking and would have had to tread carefully the rest of the game. We're getting very little luck with a lot of things at the moment but the most pressing concern is obviously the performances and results.

How about just playing for 0-0s? We do have the right personnel for that.

Actually thought we would set up for a bore draw against Leicester, but yet again we set up to give the opposition the best opportunity to score against us. Howard Kendall Alex Ferguson Nigel Clough always worked from back, even Guardiola. But what do they know!

[BillLovesRoo]

13 points easy

 

[Igrok]

Absolutely unpredictable..too many ifs

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

Troy Deeney charged with violent conduct. Does this mean he misses our game?

Haha, how times have changed!

 

[Albro]

We are talking about Everton... Expect the unexpected

[Saint Domingo]

Double header v West Ham and Huddersfield at home is massive. Can not afford to lose those two,

Then all we would need is another 4 wins for survival.

 

[newton-stewart-blues]

Watford - defeat
Palace - defeat
Southampton - draw
West Ham - defeat
Huddersfield - win

We have no striker and our defence is shocking. Grim like.

Got to get at least 6 points from them 5 games, it’s difficult because when you are in this kind of run of results, it’s hard to see where the next win will come from. But if we win against Watford, all of a sudden there is confidence back and things can change quickley. I just hope Unsworth is learning fast about the players and finds a winning formula.

 

[jaybx1878]

I wouldn't be suprised if it's 5 defeats they way things are going.

It shows how bad the situation is that even then I struggle to see where we could get those 4 wins.

 

[Fantasy Boots]

All these games are winnable, it's a matter of getting the first one on the board to build on. One game at a time.
Priority now should be making it hard for teams to play.

 

[Debaser]

Watford - Home W
Crystal Palace - Away W
Southampton - Away D
West Ham - Home W
Huddersfield - Home W

This happens and we will be safe. And its doable - If the manager (WHOEVER that is) picks the right team, close teams down, stop leaking goals, start creating chances, and start scoring those chances.

LOL so in all reality D, L, L, D, D is my realistic guess.
