Form table

[hh9]

The form table makes me feel good and optimistic
We have not been playing well last weeks but a lot of other teams are doing worse

So we're above all our rivals on current form. Good run of games coming, perfect time to keep it up!

Couldn't have a more favourable run in if we tried tbf. We have to play all the teams directly above us so it's in our own hands really. That win on Saturday was absolutely huge.

agree with that. all i wd say is towards the end of the season the so-called bottom clubs can be hard to beat because they are chucking everything at it. the easier teams tend to be those like west brom who have nothing to play for and ease right off. still, plenty of grounds for optimism if you look at that table. makes you realise how badly a lot of other teams must have been doing if we are mid-table since the turn of the year.

And remember our recent run of games havent been that easy - we now have a better run of games.
Keep this form going, shows how important draws can be... Losses must be avoided

Agree, but at least we can directly influence their result when we play them. Nothing worse than getting a good result then finding other sides around you did the same or better so the points difference doesn't change. At least if / when we win, it will be cdefinite points gain against that team and maybe others odwn there.

Ref our run, in reality it's not been bad, but that Swansea embarrassment knocked us for 6, but that was the only shocker.

indeed. its why for instance a draw at villa wd be a good result because that is prob the game villa wd mark down almost more than any other as a must win home banker. stop them getting three points from that and they will be in trouble. we need to beat sunderland first, though.

And this weekend couldn't have gone any better with all our rivals getting beat. That's not going to happen too often sadly.

Yes, a draw at Villa would be a good result just so long as we do beat Sunderland (as well as Wigan) at home

So the games against Everton, Arsenal and Liverpool will be easy - they will not have anything to play for when we meet them.
Most likely the Everton game will be moved because they will still be in the FA cup

reading villa this weekend too. not sure what outcome i want from that. i wouldnt mind a villa win so we can get off the bottom of the table!

Everyone's above us!
