Next Few Games

[stirred]

I don't think Arsenal will be overly excited about coming to the City Ground. Hopefully Saka is still out.

That Nwaneri ain't a bad replacement

Any relation to Claudio?

Fulham (A)
Newcastle (A)
Arsenal (H)
Man City (H)

How many points would you be happy with from these four then?

I'm going an ambitious 7. 3 at Fulham and Newcastle and a point against City.

Arsenal look really strong at the minute but I wouldn't write us off a getting something out of that either.

That is a hard run!

I would think we had done okay with 5. Fulham is the game to be really targeting for 3 points. A couple of draws elsewhere would be nice. Get out of this run of games picking up 5 and then push on to be picking up serious points from then on.

It is a hard run and one from which we got zero points in the first half of the season so even a single draw would be an improvement (though obviously I hope we do better than that).

But once that's out of the way we only have Villa and Chelsea left to play of the teams challenging for Europe. So coming out of it without too many scars would set us up brilliantly.

If we can beat Fulham then that's another team out of the chase. Newcastle and man city stopping them getting closer and reducing the number of games to play is also a result. So 5 would be good.

They are 6 pointers vs Newcastle and City. If we could at least draw either or both of those that would be worth a lot. It does feel pretty season defining, if we can just come out of it not too badly damaged then we're all set. Anything above 4 really and you're feeling really good.

Could definitely do with Man City progressing in the Champions League as then they'd have those matches either side of the one against us.

Yep, that game vs Real feels pretty important for our realistic chances to finish above them. Particularly after they signed loads of players.

Every big club they've come up against lately has beaten them. They've got no hope of beating Real Madrid.

I would take 4 draws although these so called hard and easy runs often don't end up the way we expect.
