It would be nice if Bournemouth got a goal today.

Forest will be difficult...might be the more difficult game than we had against city. They're doing great right now. I wouldn't be surprised if we end up losing at home against them...

same...but the smart money's on a 0-0 result

Let's not write Forest off. They will give us a tougher game than City just have.

Unless we actually commit bodies forward we will struggle to break down an extremely solid forest defense. Be more of the same I think 0-0 1-0.

They'll think they can get a win at Goodison and they've gone for it against other bottom half teams. Five away wins will dictate that.

I think that suits us.

West Ham beating Southampton

West Ham beating Southampton

I actually think a draw would have been a better result for us. Saints are gone and keeping the Hammers in the mix would have been good.

I'm now more concerned with WHU results than those below its.

They're our target from now on.

Going mad they just scored, tbh.

They won't. Forest are in a false position, and we should be winning that

 

[Dublin blue 75]

Assuming United win this evening, we are in a mini league of the bottom six. Which we should win relatively comfortably.

Age and experience a detriment now? They have similar records but because one is younger it's deemed "better". Just playing devil's advocate to look at it from another angle.

Personally think someone like McKenna would absolutely fold under the pressure of a club like ours.

Im more highlighting why a manager who spend e.g 20 years working their way up to Sheff Utd (boyhood club) would be rated less than a novice who did it at the first time of asking.

They won't. Forest are in a false position, and we should be winning that

Think so? Id take a point.

I think so yes. Forest are not as good as City.

Want Soton WHU draw today

Strange team, the only team to lose vs City lately.

But the only team to beat Liverpool and Brentford at their ground

 

[Zatara]

I think so yes. Forest are not as good as City.

Not sure theyre in a false position though.

Theyre very effective and in Murillo have their version of Branthwaite.

Could easily come unstuck.

Id take 2pts from them and bournemouth.

 

[Zatara]

How is Cunha starting ??????

No punishment ???

I've been impressed with them this season.

They may not have the third best squad, but based on form they are a tougher test then City currently.
