I have criticised Eddie in the past, and one of those criticisms was his inability to manage the squad with quick turnaround of games… but now, we are moving into where Eddie does shine.

Mackem’s on Sunday, then at least a week between games, and when he had the time to prep and can select the same players every game who will be rested, that’s when his ability to plan and drill comes into it’s own.

The teams ahead of us have a lot of games where they play each other, some are still in Europe or FA Cup too.

7 points behind 5th with 24 left to play for… I think 5th might be a step too far, not impossible but a real stretch.

Our toughest game is Arsenal away… so I’m gonna hope they beat Sporting and then they would play in a leg of the CL semi-final 3 days after us.

The week before they play City (away)… if they win that, then I think their focus will be massively on the CL fixture and we have a chance.

24 points from 8 games is tough, but the teams ahead of us have tougher fixtures or more games… not sure how far we can climb but I think 6th or 7th is achieveable.
