Villa away Everton and Norwich at home certainly all winnable and could build us a nice cushion in the table against form dips. I would naturally be happy with 6 points but feel 9 are there against sides in and around us Everton and Norwich we must be looking at maximum points villa is trickier but not beyond the realms of possibility of an away win

I really hope Everton don't give Silva the tin tack before we play them, I've never rated him, and Everton are trying hard to prove me right.

Villa away will be tricky. Their tails will be up after their big win last Saturday. Would take a point (unless it turns out like Newcastle away).

Agreed though, our home form must improve off the back of the result the other day. Need to build on that. 4 points from the 2 would be good, 6 obviously brilliant. As LLF said though, really hope Silva doesn't get the chop before we play them

Yes and a bit more luck would’ve certainly seen us at least 6 points better off

I don’t want to think about us winning 5 on the bounce. I would’ve put spence and tsb on ignore for nothing

Yes, and we could have gone to Citeh on an off day, like Wolves did - but we didn't. And Newcastle might not have cleared one off the line - but they did.

Yes. Makes sense to view it in terms of international breaks at this stage of the season.

We could win at Man Utd as things stand.

For the record, i'm thinking

Villa = loss
Norwich = draw
Everton = win
Man Utd = draw

Hopefully Villa will underestimate us based on the Cup game and we can surprise them with our Potterball and nick all 3 points.

Spurs beat them 3-1 FFS....

Out of interest, why do you think we are more likely to beat Everton than Norwich?

I have Norwich down as the 2nd worst team in the division after Watford, while Everton are a half decent side having a blip.

Thanks for your interest. It's because football doesn't always as simply as the expected higher teams always beat the less expected lower teams, as amply evidenced already this season.

Yes, obviously, but that's only explaining why you think it's possible, rather than why you think it's more likely to happen.

I'm just wondering why you think we have a better chance v Everton than v Norwich is all.

Click to expand...

All season, we're going to get the sort of senseless results we've seen already. Everyone will beat everyone, (apart from Liverpool and City to a slightly lesser extent)

My prediction reflects that.

I think Norwich will struggle as well. In fact I think they'll finish bottom ... but probably with more points than we survived with last season.

I'm certain they won't underestimate us after analysing our spurs game, but I do think we'll give them a great game and have every chance of coming away with a point or 3.

As an aside, how refreshing is it to have more belief in us putting in performances and pulling off results away from home!

All 3 winnable, play like we did on Saturday and we will win. 2 weeks to fine tune a great system

Would take a draw at Villa.

All three games winnable.

Would say it's possible to get something in the 4th v United away even, these days.

5th game, Liverpool away - complete write off like most sides though.

Haven't we got Leicester at home before the Liverpool match? Won't count any chickens for that one!

the break comes at a poor time for us to carry momentum through. the Villa game could go either way, fancy results against the 3 after that given the way they're all currently playing.
