    Next Two Games

    I have as a rule of thumb that you will have a pretty good idea of how your league season will go after completing your first 10 games. Well next up we have Leicester away followed by Chelsea home. Any points we can pick up from these two fixtures will be most welcome. Norwich ( despite beating Manchester City ) and Watford look to be really struggling.

    A couple of draws in the next two would suit me just fine. A draw at Leicester and a home win against Chelsea, would in an ideal world be perfect.

    Probably a good time to have two difficult fixtures.We are in a comfortable position at the moment and once they are out of the way it gets,on paper,a little easier.When we are in these situations I look more at how we are performing.Would be nice to see Brady getting a little more game time but it looks like we have given up on Gibson & Vydra.

    Gibson can't get past Mee & Tarkowski, Vydra can't get past Jay Rod, Wood and Barnes.

    I really don't know what to expect, are we in with a serious chance of Europe again, or at least a top 10 finish, or will we fall away and be flirting with relegation again ? I really don't know, maybe the next two games will tell us.

    SD has replicated the Shankly trick. Have the core (Pope, Mee, Tarkowski, Westwood, Barnes and Wood) strengthening the spine of the team and let the rest take care of itself.
    Sprinkle a few magic stars into the mix (McNeil, Taylor and JayRod) and let the good times roll. 8th at least this season.

    Well we've managed 7th once already BT, United, Spurs and Everton are imploding, there's vacancies at the top end, so why not top 6 ?

    NO!!!

    We don't want to end up in Europa thing again.

    8th would be just fine.

    So would a few others Barrie, and then we'd wake up.
