Hurzeler gives me confidence with each one of our fixtures. The Emptihad is usually our graveyard, but this week I was asked by fans of other clubs about our prospects today, I replied I think we’ll get a draw or win.
The markets currently forecast 7th for us. It’s tight. But far shorter odds than Villa.
[Using Top 6 data, but the pecking order for Europe would be the same].
Fulham W
ManC L
Villa W
South Norwood L
Leicester W
Brentford D
West Ham W
Newcastle W
Wolves D
Liverpool D
Tottenham D
Giving 62 points, we make Europe.
With the one small proviso that predicting our results is hopeless.
After this weeks results, are we effectively safe already on 34 points? By Jan 19th! A far cry from the Hughton nailbiters.
Ipswich won’t get the equivalent of 6 wins. The bottom 3 are awful.
Feeling greedy for a top 4 finish tracker.
Based on our squad is for the first time looking great with quality cover in most positions and I’m thinking the clubs playing in Europe this season may really suffer …. look at Villa, finding it far harder when you don’t have a week’s prep/rest/diving...
Have played a load of ‘bottom 12’ clubs from last season and two promoted clubs.
Plucky are the stand out club, fantastic recruitment over the last 4 windows and Iraola appears the real deal.
