However generally our performance's have been poor, we are lacking the basics of pass and move, still cant seem to find a player with a pass (or hack) and the piss poor set-up and teams selected by SC in away games. We still have time to change this however I notice that the squad lacks passion and fight, some seem to be here for the money and kudos only.
You were obviously not watching yesterday as there was definitely no lack of passion from the side last night. They might not be fantastic at decision making but they definitely put a shift in.

In my opinion we haven't put in a performance since Leicester at home.
Not like me to be on a downer but like I said before I am concerned and I think it will go down to the wire.
Having some player's returning from injury lifts my spirits a bit but they are going to need game time to get up to full speed and the games are running out.
Just coincidence but the downtown coincides with Wood coming in to the team?
No blaming Wood himself but the way the whole team sets up with him in the side seems less effective.

You know it's bad when Dennis looks an improvement on Wood...

Agreed SM, I have just said something along those lines on another thread.

100% and as soon as wood went off yesterday we looked far more dangerous and Yates’y dynamism made a huge difference an CM of yates Shelvey and Mangala/Danilo needs to be the way we go .

Agree completely, was saying the same thing at the game yesterday. Wood being in the team seems to have had a big effect on MGW's influence to me aswell. Feels like MGW is only looking for Brennan when he gets the ball rather than having options (apart from the 1st goal of course...).

The home games v Wolves, Brighton and Southampton are going to be critical.
The sooner they're back at full strength the better, to nick a few draws against the rest.
It could also be all over before Man Utd too, that would be a relief.
Coops could switch focus to next seasons XI.
Tottenham (A)
Newcastle (H)

Seeing it on paper there's still so many matches left this year!
I fancy our chances to win any of our remaining home games (hopefully Arsenal will be in bottle the title mode if we need something, what a day that could be)
Leeds, Villa, Brentford, Palace all decent chances to get points away too. Lots of midtable teams to play, hopefully they've started phoning it in by the time we play them. That was noticeable yesterday how tense both teams and fans were. Everyone knew the importance of the game, made it difficult to play.
RE: Next Few Games - Shawoddyred - 06-03-2023
Think it's very important we get something out of the next 2 games before the break. Both Spuds and Toon are a bit hit and miss at the moment, so there is an opportunity against teams we wouldn't have necessarily expected.
Wolves, Leeds then Villa are then huge games again. Shame 2 are away! After Villa, that run is awful apart from Southampton at home. The 'easier' games are all away, the teams that would expect to beat us are at home. Time to be bold!!

This is my feeling too, the team was set up differently in attack before Wood and the results were positive.
Best hope is Awoniyi is back soon to give us a strong, pacey, direct runner on the left of Jonson.
RE: Next Few Games - nffc93 - 06-03-2023
We desperately need an away performance, the sooner the better.

The next 7 games takes us up until the next international break, where we can take stock again. Got a game vs Leeds to rearrrange at some point too, no idea when that could be played, the fact they're still in the FA Cup might limit options for that.
Leeds (H)
Fulham (A)
Man City (H)
West Ham (A)
Everton (H)
Spurs (A)
Newcastle (H)
So what do we think, 4 home games although against City so doesn't count really. Think this shows how important the Leeds and Everton games are to win as they might be the only wins in the next two months. Maybe a home draw with Newcastle or perhaps at West Ham or Fulham. Otherwise any other points we get are against the grain.
What's a good points haul? 7?
Would prob take 10 points
I would snatch your hand off now for 10 points.
So 5 points from this run so far, win next week and its been a success overall still. Even a draw would be 6 points which is only one off expected.
For me of the above games the West Ham one is the only one I feel a real let down. Everton was always going to be tight either way.
