Next four games - how many points do we need?

[lobodelsur]

Southampton (A) 1 pts
Newcastle (H) 3 pts
Villa (A) 1 pts
Leeds (A) 1pts

Anymore than 6 will be bonus on current form

Its unrealistic to expect to go 4 away games (Watford included) unbeaten in this League. So I'd expect a defeat somewhere but a return of 5 points.

 

[Tojo the grass]

We need to get our points average above one a game to get out of danger. Tomorrow feels like a big game already; win and we have 6 from 6, which is a platform to build on, lose and we are in a bit of a hole. Let’s hope this forum is a happy place tomorrow evening.

Lose tomorrow pressure is on us

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

It's actually worse than that. People forget that Nuno himself had wanted to strengthen but that didn't happen.

Let’s see what the next two games bring but it’s clear changes on the pitch are more than needed

 

[wwbug]

3 players currently below par Coady,Neves,Raul
Unfortunately they are our spine and usually so dependable
Your right of course we needed a CMF CB and striker,we got nothing really
Maybe HWang will be ok, maybe Mosquera, but they arent the quality proven players we needed

Agreed add Moutinho , and those four, for various reasons . ended last season poorly .

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Well I certainly didn't expect us to have 6/6.

If we harbour realistic aspirations of a top half finish, we need to keep.this form up. Our December is one hell of a month!

 

[1972 i began]

Form being........playing bad and winning..

 

[Lycaon]

Being the optimist I can see us nicking all 3 points at the Villa providing we don’t disappear into our shell and show them too much respect, their weaknesses In defence were pretty much obvious today.
Leeds on the other hand need a home win desperately, so I’ll go with a 1-1 draw.
All told, 10/12 not too shabby at all!

 

[wolf of sedgley]

I'd take 2 draws or 1 win, right now!

 

[Hawkguy]

Cant see more than 5 max from them...could easily just see three from them

Southampton (A) 1
Newcastle (H) 3
Villa (A) 1
Leeds (A) 1

and i feel i am being optimistic with that

7 would be ideal

of course if we start scoring earlier and more regular then maybe even 10/12

Can't see more than 5... predicts 6.

What the ****

 

[WickedWolfie]

What the ****

Arithmetic fail lol

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

This is depressing. The way we are playing, the lack of goals, I don't think we will get anything from these games.

OK- can I have another go at this?

 

[JaycogWolf]

Think actually we'll shock a few people here and beat Vile away - they are incredibly up and down performance wise, and don't have a massive target man like Toney, Wood, Antonio where we will notoriously struggle - also fancy us to beat Leeds too

 

[Jamwolf]

On the positive side, we are only 7 points off the top and every game in October and November is winnable.
Who knows, when Liverpool come to us on 4th December, it could be 1 v2 !

 

[tamwolf]

Il say 0 points and bet on the opposite teams, this is a fool proof way to get points on the board.

This has worked incredibly well. I don't think you're getting enough credit.

 

[1986]

When this thread first began it was pessimism all the all .

We now have 9 points from 9 , but ironically Leeds could be the one where we come a cropper as it's the match that we should have the best chance of winning given our recent form .
Southampton - had poor form coming into this match , it was an away fixture , Brentford had knocked us back a lot it seemed .
Newcastle - we kept drawing with them at home , looked a nailed on draw .
Villa - first match back after the Internationals . Villa away should not be easy and they had half decent form coming into it . No Raul .

Leeds - supporters will be a lot more confident going into this one . Full squad back , confidence up after the comeback......we should be winning this , but we often lose the ones we should be winning .
Leeds have conceded 15 goals so far - 5 against United I think . They need points badly .

It is fun reading back, knowing we are now arguably the form team in the League. Crazy how many present their opinions as fact when no one really has any idea. People can be more influential than they think and this thread is a good example of some people winding others up, making them nervous in the stands and encouraging a snowball effect of even more doom-mongering on Social media.

Happens every year! If you make enough decisive comments, sometimes your prediction will occur and you can herald yourself as Nostradamus.

I thought we would do very very well to pick up two wins out of 4. 3/3 is fantastic and my fears about relegation are all but gone.

 

[Rhoswolf]

Need a minimum of 6 expecting no more than 2.

Optimistic as ever.

 

[Lycaon]

I’ll stick my neck out and still go for a
1-1 draw against Leeds!

Be good if we could win 4 games on the bounce but maybe a bridge too far?!

 

[Axle]

In our promotion season we went to Leeds and destroyed them. Saiss even got on the scoresheet.

Can we see it happening again? Another 3-0 cruise?

By the way, What’s happened to the Yorkshire Pirlo this season? Hangover after the Euros?

 

[Glow69]

I'd take a point against Leeds. Tough tough game

Yep, point is fine there.

Those things only have an effect on weak or easily influenced people. Of course, some don’t think they are easily taken in.

 

[OLDGOLD]

We will win against dirty Leeds. I have seen it in the Yorkshire tea leaves.....

 

[JohnMatrix]

Surely if we win this one Lage has to be manager of the month or in contention.

He is/has been injured.

Still potentially quite a few first teamers missing for Leeds (with a bit of luck)
