We have four home games on the bounce now

[anny road]

If we win them, we will go to Arsenal with some confidence....I believe it is actually what we need this.....

 

Obviously it could go the other way, but all four games are very very winnable....and if we can turn them into home wins, score some goals...our tails will be up going to the new library

 

Weds will be a bit surreal. but Saturday I would hope and expect the kop to roar the lads on........We can make a f***ing difference.........Lets get behind them, show them how much we love them and let the opposition know that a backlash is coming......

 

COME ON YOU MIGHTY REDS!

4 clean sheets would also help.

One game at a time, as Rafa would say.

 

A win against Reading in midweek and our season starts...

In the league, 2 at home, Arsenal away, then up to Xmas - Middlesbro (A), City (H), Portsmouth (H), Wigan (A), Fulham(H), Charlton (A), Watford (H).

 

By Christmas, we will have gone some way to redressing the 'hard start to the season' argument. Given a couple at home to start with - where Blackburn excepted, we have been OK - it's not inconceivable for us to have a very good run out of these games - 25 points? 27? - that should see us in a less embarassing position, and set up for a strong run in, and showing some confidence. No guarantees, no claiming we are going to win the league, but potential for a more sanguine Christmas Day, for sure.

That was my point - get a head of steam at home, then a good performance at Arsenal - even if we lose - and it is not inconceivable that we get ourselves on a decent run up to Christmas.

 

Fwiw, I think Villa are flagging a bit now, and due their first defeat.

 

Darkest before the Dawn, and all that.

I will be delighted but somewhat amazed if that transpires....
