The next 5 games
« on: February 11, 2024, 08:06:51 PM »
We’re in the middle of a rough little stretch here. Only 2 wins in 7 and those were against Championship Boro and Sheff Utd who will likely be playing in that division next season.

The next 5 games are absolutely critical now if the season isn’t to go in the shitter

Fulham (a)
Forest (h)
Luton (a)
SPURS (h)
West Ham (a)

Surely we need to target no less than 10 points from that lot to have any chance of maintaining top 5 or 6 position.

15 points for me.  We are capable of it as well.  Spurs will be one of our most important games of the season.

We need 12 points I think - our run has been so shit we’ve got to build a gap again.

So do we all. We've only managed 5 in a row once under Emery, last season when we were flying. Other than that, the best we've done is three in a row. Given the form we're in, I'd say it's highly unlikely.

Just my personal opinion but I hate these threads as they seem to jinx us.  Hope to be wrong with this particular one though! Hopefully Kamara hasn't tweaked his knee ligaments.  All cracking games and still very exciting to be where we are in the league.
