Foundations are set for us to evolve into something better. Expand The belief in the squad is the difference for me. Total positivity and unity. Dan Burn stick one on Bowen on Saturday because of what he'd done further up the pitch. You feel they're all in it together - an attitude that was sadly lacking under Bruce.

ewerk 33818 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 We have Brentford, Brighton and Southampton next. There's a case to be made for us claiming three points from each of those matches. It's time to look up, not down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand we should be able to win four or five of those, which would be plenty - brentford, palace, norwich, burnley, leicester, everton, wolves are all winnable - our problem is the fixture run in. the last four games of the season are horrible, so the pressure is on to get those wins in before april. if we don't, it's brown trousers time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 51844 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Just to be ABSOLUTELY FUCKING CLEAR though. We very likely only need a point a game to stay up.

Expand that's exactly it. up until about a month ago, there were plenty of reasons to be pessimistic: questions over whether howe's ideas were getting through, whether this group of players were capable of stepping up and whether we would sign the right players in january (beyond trippier). our form since the leeds game has answered most of those questions emphatically. we'll lose a few more games before the season's done but if we keep playing like this, we'll be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's similar to the Southampton & Coventry factor years ago - because they were perennial survivors, the expectation is they'll continue to get out of it. I too think they'll have enough to get out of it, but at the present, looking at objectively, I'd say we stand a better chance of surviving than them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
