Indeed.  They’ve known about the right side for months though, so hopefully there is a plan for that.  Cover for Mings could be really tough unless they’ve made up their mind he’s surplus.

Maybe a loan as Torres should be back in a couple of months.

Yep, I'd have thought that's the most likely.

Four points behind chelsea in 4th now.

Back to back qualification for the Champions League would be incredible, and cement our place at the top table.  But it looks increasingly difficult this season given Newcastle's lack of Europe is giving their expensively assembled squad the chance to really shine, and Chelsea (despite their current wobble) have looked much improved this season.

We really do need a couple of reinforcements in Janury, not just for the sake of numbers, but players who can contribute to the first team.

Looking at the Saudi's remaining games, they have a pretty easy set of fixtures where if they were to maintain their current form there's only a couple of games where you wouldn't fancy them. Forest have plenty of tough games and I expect them to drop out the top 5. I think it's between us and them for 6th.

The majority of home game left are against opposition around and above us.  So it’s kind of in our hands. But I fear the inconsistency is going to haunt us for the rest of the season.

Hasn't  everyone  got the same fixtures left minus this weeks round of games ?

They've done most of the tough away games and you always fancy them at Sid James Park. The aways are almost all winnable.

I fucking hate Newcastle. Ever since the mid 90s the media is so far up their arse it’s almost Spurs like in its obsequiousness. It’s as if no one else has passionate fans or sings songs or waves flags or has an atmosphere. Also that utter utter walking excuse for a footballer Joelinton plays for them and he is the worst, literally the worst person to ever play the game and I’ve seen Ben Thatcher. They can stick there Geordienation, horse punching, not won a trophy since Noah was a lad, blowing the league in 96 attitude right up their arse the fucking ******.

What we need to do is stick with the current Top 8 which look like they will breakaway from those below and then anything is possible, other than winning the league obviously.
