Just noticed this at the top of the thread. Is it an omen?

[PeterWithesShin]

Looking at the next 5 and the teams involved, it wouldn't be unrealistic to think we could go unbeaten. At the same time, I can't see us winning many, unless we find the right attacking balance. However at the moment, though we look far from solid and have ridden our luck and benefited from poor finishing from opposition, we're looking a lot tighter at the back.

Our left side could be a major problem though with Bennett and Stevens out, and Lichaj looking bobbins there.

In 4 games we reach the half way point. If we have 20 points by then, we'll be half way to the magical 40 mark. I fancy us to have stronger 2nd half of the season in any case, but if we can be a minimum of 20 points by 19 games, I think we'll feel better about things.

Licha\j looked a lot better when he moved to the right yesterday: I'd advocate playing Delph at LB. He's left-footed for a start, which has to help; and he'll get more forward, I suspect.

How long are the likes of Vlaar, Stevens and Bennett out for? I was hoping a couple would be back for this game. From the limited highlights I saw, we looked vulnerable down the sides of our back 3 yday. But if we did play that formation again I think Delph as a wing back might be a decent shout?

Can we just get Warnock back? We'd get a player that's at least better than Lihaj in that position, plus a bigger shop window for Warnock himself.

someone suggesting warnock back, christ, heard it all now! been absolute utter shit for 2 years and now he is the saviour of our left flank. the mind boggles!!

[OCD]

Players always get better when they're not in the team. I would suggest watching last season's review as a reminder for how bad Warnock is but I imagine it must be quite difficult to get hold of.

It's irrelevant anyway. The reason Warnock is gone is because of his wages, nothing to do with his dodgy performances in the last couple of years. If he was on half the wage he is on now he'd probably still be in the first team.

If I was offered the next five predictions now, I would take them.

v Arsenal 24.11.12 (H) DRAW
v Reading 27.11.12 (H) WIN
v QPR 1.12.12 (A) DRAW
v Stoke City 8.12.12 (H) WIN
v Liverpool 15.12.12 (A) DRAW
v Chelsea 23.12.12 (A) LOSE
v Spurs 26.12.12 (H) LOSE
v Wigan Athletic 29.12.12 (H) WIN

Yup, 3 out of 3 here as well.  When I posted those I thought 12 points from the 8 games would be a good return and see us looking a lot safer, I still think that and I'm fairly confident about the next 2 predictions.  I do think I may have been overly negative with the chelsea and tottenham ones though.  I actually don't see any major reason why we couldn't go unbeaten in december, Tottenham at home is the only 1 I'd be really nervous of.

If you just set something along those lines as your signature it would save you an awful lot of time typing it out over and over again.
