Next six games

[sinkov]

We are becoming detached, even a point a game from now on won't save us, the next six games are absolutely crucial, they are not difficult games by PL standards, these are the games where we just have to pick up the points. We have to take 3 points off Sheffield United, and cobble together at least another 7 points from the other five. That would give us 14 pnts from 18 games, still in serious trouble but should give us a fighting chance of keeping out of the bottom three. Anything less than 10 from 6 and we're down by Christmas, because the fixtures get harder again right after these six games.

These games will show us exactly where we are, no excuses about injuries or illnesses, other clubs have been hit harder than us, look at the Newcastle team last night, if we can't get at least 10 pnts from these games, it will be because we aren't good enough for this league and will deserve to go down.

Heckingbottom will put three forwards jumping with/into Trafford, he will launch 100 balls a minute on to our penalty area and the Blades will f*cking slaughter us. What's the plan for the other 5 games mon ami?

Football 'em off the park, just like we did last year. It worked once, it can work again.

It only worked once they went down to ten men Sinkov.11 v. 11 was 5-2 to the blades and seeing as their recruitment has been more successful than ours(they took Gus Hamer from under our noses)I, like BT, predict another humiliation.

I have no idea if you went to the home game or not sinkov, but if their goalkeeper had not committed hari kari there is no way we would have beat them.

BT's question was about the other five games.

It is the last chance saloon.If we dont improve over those games we are going back to the Championship.

Not just Heckingbottom BT, every manger in the EPL has got the message. As someone pointed out a few
weeks ago the mistakes made in the Summer spending spree will be with us for too long. Too small, too young, no balance in the recruitment. Yes, the last two games have been better but I can't understand VK's selections or substitutions. Why was Amdouni substituted? Why were Sterling and Martinelli given the freedom of the park for the whole games ? Is anyone teaching
Keleosho how to use his speed to maximum effect. Call up Mike Summerby! Enough said it's too depressing right now.
Sterling was terriffic today in the best match of the season, a wonderful game!

Exactly CiB, this is our season in six games, if we don't get the points, we can get last year's road maps out of the drawer again. Gone by Christmas.

Indeed he was Tap, he's playing out of his skin, but he's not playing well enough for Gareth to have him in his England squad. Who can I drop to put him in he whined at his Presser, well Bowen for a start, nowt against Bowen, but he's a journeyman compared to Sterling in this sort of form. It's so depressing when the England manager won't pick the best players, and Palmer can't be far away from an England cap you'd think, an outstanding young player, and with the nerve to smack home a last minute penalty. But who can Gareth drop to put him in. FFS.
