Where We Stand On Boxing Day

Five out of seven games between now and Boxing Day are against teams currently in the bottom half of the league (although only three of those seven are home games).

If we can manage fitness whilst those games come thick and fast, we should be capable of pulling well clear of the bottom three.

Perceptive. Most of this thread did not age well.

Here we go. Don't want to get carried away... but things perhaps finally starting to click.

Buzzing after yesterday. What a lift...
 
The old cliche, take one game at a time.

Still got the Winter and chance of more injuries, like Kelly today who it sounded like was having a very good game.

But it does look like our players may have clicked into our manager’s system and if we get performances like in our last two games, we could be in for a football treat.

We play Fulham at home on Boxing Day, which will take us up to 19 games, the halfway point of the season.

Including the Fulham match, we have two games that are obvious "must-wins" (Sheff Utd away, Luton at home), and three games where we could reasonably hope to get a point from each (Palace away, Forest away, Fulham at home).

Then we have three games which will be difficult, but where we could perhaps hope to gain one point from nine (Newcastle home, Villa home, Man Utd away).

So, if we managed to get 10 points from the next 8 games, would 16 points be enough to save Andoni ?

After the Spurs game on NYE, we have a 3 week break, so that would be the obvious time to make changes, if deemed necessary.

Posts like this are the best thing about the forum. Reminding us of how far we've come.
 
And you know what's gone missing - the "why bother being in the premier league, we cannot compete, it's so much better in the Championship" conversation. @Waz afcb was one of the strongest voices, but he wasn't alone in that sentiment. Not hearing much of that now.
