Just had a gander at our next 6 games after Villa, 4 of those games are Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U all away and Spurs at home (the other 2 are Forest away and Brentford home) We need the maximum 6 pts from Leeds and Villa.

It’s not going to be easy and I agree we haven’t helped ourselves but it’s not going to take a miracle. We just need to be a bit better organised and our players to play a bit better. Easier said than done but we’ve just got 1.5 ppg from two of our hardest remaining fixtures and a ppg of 1.25 will see us to 38 points. That requires a big improvement from what we’ve been doing but with an experienced, streetwise manager not a miraculous one.Dyche is a good appointment due to the fact that he has been here before and has Championship experience gaining promotion.
The board got there by luck but let the fans and the club down by failing to plan adequately for the January window which ended embarrassingly for us with players bolting from under our noses and getting blown off by players going to our relegation rivals.
We all saw the deficiencies of the team after the summer window so not to plan for that is scandalous and effectively (barring a miracle) relegated us
Well we have only scored 2+ goals twice this season so far. Yikes. Hopefully that changes under Dyche but the incompetence from the board is baffling.I said it a while ago that i thought with the Coady and Tarkowski signings, that we were hoping to keep as many clean sheets as pos (which we know we wont) and try and nick as many games as we could 1-0 - we may get lucky a certain few games and get 2 goals in a game our way but not many
Hopefully Chelsea continue to struggle, not that I expect a win away but a point would be nice. A win away to Forest is an absolute must and a win home against Brentford as well. I’m really looking forward to that Brentford match after how last years went. If this squad has any fight in them they will be up for it.Just had a gander at our next 6 games after Villa, 4 of those games are Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U all away and Spurs at home (the other 2 are Forest away and Brentford home) We need the maximum 6 pts from Leeds and Villa.
Conventional wisdom goes out the window with us though. End of last season we got 1 point from Brentford, Burnley and Watford and 9 from United, Chelsea and Leicester away.Just had a gander at our next 6 games after Villa, 4 of those games are Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U all away and Spurs at home (the other 2 are Forest away and Brentford home) We need the maximum 6 pts from Leeds and Villa.
Yep, ive said it a few weeks now that the 3 home games and forest away are big and for me we have to win 3 of those, as you say because of the other games,Just had a gander at our next 6 games after Villa, 4 of those games are Arsenal, Chelsea and Man U all away and Spurs at home (the other 2 are Forest away and Brentford home) We need the maximum 6 pts from Leeds and Villa.
I'm maybe in a minority but I thought Marsch would've been a decent shout for Southampton, he seems to be a decent man manager and could possibly connect with a group of fairly talented young players who didn't connect with Hassenhuttl or Jones.Yikes!
Jesse Marsch: Talks between former Leeds boss and Southampton break down
Jesse Marsch had been on verge of becoming Southamptons new manager after being sacked by Leeds last week; Southampton dismissed Nathan Jones last Sunday; the former Luton boss lost seven of his eight Premier League games in charge; Southampton are bottom, four points from safetywww.skysports.com
Leeds have actual strikers though. We don’t. Leeds can score, we can’t. That’s the difference.
Just being able to put Garner, Gray, Townsend and Dom in that team and I'm sure goals would come.
Sadly I worry it will be to late before he ever gets to see those options at the same time.
We've won 4 of our last 22 league games, and you think we have to win 3 of our next 4?Yep, ive said it a few weeks now that the 3 home games and forest away are big and for me we have to win 3 of those, as you say because of the other games,
I pretty much agree. I think villa at home is amongst the 5 easiest fixtures between now and the end of the season. It therefore falls into the category of must win.
Leeds (H)
Bournemouth (H)
Forest (A)
Villa (H)
Palace (A)
This is worrying to me, because I feel we are pretty clear underdogs in 2 of those games and yet they are the easiest we have left. Could maybe include Fulham (H) and Brentford (H) over the away palace game but I think they are both much better sides than the current palace team. If only we'd got 4 points out of southampton, wolves and west ham.
I'm going to dress this up as being good news for us.
Villa will be my 5th trip from Ireland. Always stay 1 night and do it for about 250 a trip or less. Don't really drink and stay near the airportPricey that. Im over for Leeds Saturday from Dublin for just the day trip and will be €250 or there abouts. Couldnt afford to be doing nights over each time or bringing the family!
