Three back to back league wins...

[Columbia6]

Well there's no room for error any more, the last of that went out the window against Villa I reckon. 2 wins and a draw from the next 3 (Spurs, QPR, Arsenal) would put us right in there, although drawing the two obvious games could be ok (depending on other results).

What's clear is that this second tier of teams (Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and ourselves) are all prone to bad days. If we can keep it together, and a couple of the other teams have a bad run, we'll be in with a right chance.

We'll probably need a little luck too.

I'd feel a lot more confident about Spurs with Fellaini and Pienaar in the XI.

We should look to replicate the job Fulham did on them a few weeks ago. Kept it pretty tight and took their chances to break when the opportunity presented itself. Nullify the Bale threat (easier said than done) and we're half way to victory.

Thinking about nullifying Bale, I wonder if we'll see Moyes adjust his tactics again, just for the one game and put Coleman RW with Neville behind him at RB? It's worked well before against them, however I just can't see Neville having another worldy against Bale

That tactic has worked in the past, but 2/3 years ago. Neville simply won't have the legs and Coleman would be working by himself. I wouldn't be surprised to see Coleman right back with Naismith right wing to try and do the same thing.

But Bale isn't playing wide left now.

Never mind the first triple this season -- it's the first time we've won 3 PL games on the bounce in over 3 years!
