Not exactly the next 12, but the ones starting after the final international break and just beyond the halfway point in the league and up to the FA Cup 3rd round. It's 12 games in 39 days and some real challenges coming our way. We have quite a few games against other top 4 contenders (Man Utd x 2, Liverpool, Emirates Marketing Project, Southampton) + the COC QF. The good news is that most of our players are fit. Rose still an uncertainty, but Kaboul, Capoue, Lennon and Ade (hopefully) all in training and knocking on the door of the first team.

We haven't had a single midweek free so far and we won't until the week after the FA Cup 3rd round at the earliest, which happens to be the COC Cup semi final 1st leg date (fingers crossed).

Yes, there have been some uninspiring performances, but every day in training we're either recovering from the last game or preparing for the next. We haven't really had time to do a lot of work other than drilling a solid defense. I seem to remember under Jol that we always played a lot better when the team had a whole week to prepare. If we progress beyond our already scheduled games in the EL and COC we could be well into March having only had one midweek off, unless the FA Cup 3rd round goes to a replay.

Great for me as a fan rarely going more than 3-4 days between games, slightly harder for those forking out for tickets, but something to keep in mind regarding how we improve going forward. All those dull, uninspiring, energy conserving displays will pay off further down the road.
 
Re: Next 12 Games

United on the 1 Jan... Memories of 4-1, and Prunier's debut. Repeat please!

Edit* Or was that on the 2nd Jan?

Not quite. The 4-1 WHL win against Manure was on Jan 1st 1996. That was the season Chris Armstrong joined us and after Jurgen left us. Armstrong scored 2 that day with Teddy and R-Sol scoring the other. Andy cole scored for them. They went on to win the double anyway....

The day Willem Korsten looked a world beater was in May 2001, just after Hoddle had been appointed. We won 3-1 with Korsten scoring twice and Ferdinand getting the other. Scholes scored for them, Didn't matter of course, as they'd already won the league.
It was to be the last win against Manure in ANY capacity we would have until last season's 3-2 win at OT....

Sadly Korsten suffered a career ending injury that summer iirc...

Cup games aside, we have 9 league games in 39 days. 27 points to play for.

Wins against Fulham, Sunderland, Liverpool, Southampton, West Brom and Stoke and a draw in one of the ManU games seems attainable. Nineteen points, just over 2 ppg. I'd take it, though I think we can hope for more.

I notice one of our games is on a Saturday. Who thought that was a good idea? 8-[
 
Re: Next 12 Games

1 point so far. I wasn't expecting any more, though it would have been nice with a win in one of them.

Looking at what's coming up, it's all 'must wins'.

Fulham and Sunderland. Joint worst defensive record in the league, both in the relegation zone.

****ing Liverscum.

Quarter final against West Ham.

Southampton away. Not picking up as many points as they did earlier in the season, but they could still be above us in the table when we meet.

Two home games over Christmas.

ManU at OT. Okay, this one isn't a must win, but it would be damn sweet.
 
Re: Next 12 Games

i do hope that against Den and Angie Avb plays as many kids as possible.....Liverpool two days later is vital
 
Re: Next 12 Games

Looking at the fixtures through to the end of the year, you'd have to be aiming to stay unbeaten.
Minimum of 14 league points needed.
Achieve that and top 4 might still be feasible.
 
Re: Next 12 Games

OK. This is gonna be a shock to a few here but it really shows just how fecking good we were last season.

We ARE still +2 for same teams last season but here are the next 12 games for same teams as last season.

A FULHAM 3-0
A SUNDERLAND 2-1
H LIVERPOOL 2-1
A SOTON 2-1
H WBA 1-1
H STOKE 0-0
A MAN UTD 3-2
H PALACE QPR 2-1
A SWANSEA 2-1
H Emirates Marketing Project 3-1
A HULL Reading 3-1
H EVERTON 2-2

That is 9 wins and 3 draws.
 
Re: Next 12 Games

Now's the time to see whether that "resting with the ball" strategy is really going to pay off. ;)
