Think we have 5 games on TV in the run in (might be 4)

Just had a look. Doesn't seem like the tv matches have been announced yet for that day.

Being a night time game will make that fixture even harder now

The only one I'm not convinced with is Bournemouth away at Luton but this does have the makings of a good weekend.

If it goes pear-shaped we really are in big, big trouble.

We have had a lot of luck in the results of the teams around us, I just hope we haven't already wasted the opportunity of pulling far enough away..

I think our fate will be pretty much decided before we go to Luton.

Feel less optimistic having had a look at the teams around us fixtures

Lets hope for - Ross Barkley, Morgan gibbs white and ivan toney injuries to help us out

How optimistic would you feel if Luton had our fixtures instead?

Dont know if its the Everton Fan in people, but not sure why people are convincing themselves so much, about games, and we wont win etc, while others have so called easy games. The games we have v the teams we have, we could not want a better set of games, obviously we need to win, but i would rather need to win v them, than v Liverpool, Man Utd and all those type of teams

The problem is we have tended to fair poorly against these very teams.

What would have been an easy run in a decade ago, could still be a struggle and tbf in the last few seasons we've had games to make it easier on ourselves and blown it. I cannot see it being anything different this tike around.

We need that win today or we are in all sorts of problems.

They have bournemouth, brentford, ourselves and fulham at home.
Can see them getting something from wolves and west ham away as well

We have Forest, Burnley, Sheff Utd and Brentford at home, so just to confirm, you would be more confident if we were to swap our remaining fixtures for theirs? I don’t believe you would be.

The media narrative for months has been that they are playing great attacking football, with an interesting young manager, pace out wide, and Ross pushing for an England recall. Has made everyone will them on and fear them. But the reality is they lose almost every single week.

If they win today and we dont, then i think its justified. You really need to be hitting some form at this end of the campaign.
I just watch us play terrible football and dont look like scoring at all. We are rock bottom of the form table

When you’re struggling to score goals, any games is going to be difficult to win
