Take the steps as they come and see where it takes us. Our main danger I can see is suspensions and injuries. This is where the big squads of the top 6 come into play. Exciting times though. Very exciting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Folski Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Beat leeds on Friday and I can see us staying unbeaten till Christmas. We just don’t look like conceding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Yeah, squad depth is by far our biggest issue right now, because our starting 11 now has so few flaws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 What’s that stat that came out after the Liverpool game ? Sure it’s something about last time we won’t The league, Liverpool had won the league the year before and there were things that fitted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traoré is a good player and will be the player to come on most games and maybe eventually start. The rest you don’t really want to see come on the pitch whIch is a worry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 After Leeds, this will have been our hardest stretch of games until Christmas. To come out of it with at minimum 4 wins out of 5 is excellent. Actually, I don't even know why I'm counting Leeds in this tricky start, and will just include them in our run til Boxing Day: Leeds Southampton Brighton West Ham Newcastle Wolves Burnley West Brom Palace We joke now, but come Christmas we could very well still be in the mix with this kind fixture list.

We have 12 and there’s 27 to go at from those fixtures. Even with the odd draw and couple of losses we could get 17 points. leaves us on 29 points after just 13 games... night and day from last season.

DevonIsAPlaceOnEarth Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Disappointing performance tonight. Bringing our average expected goals scorer per game down. I imagine Smith will bring the lads in tomorrow morning at 8am for double training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) ok.........after 4 games (10% of PL games), we are 34% towards our total points tally from last year.............nuts. (12 vs 35) if we only average last seasons avg. PPG (0.921) for the remaining league games, that puts us on 43 points (or 14th based on last seasons table) - obviously im hoping for a little more now Finally, for stat nerds like me, after 10% of the season we have 44.5% of our total wins from last season (9 vs 4), for a bonus stat, after 4 games we are on 12 points, we didnt manage that points tally until after match day 13 last season.
