BTW, after the Chelsea result tonight I really rate our chances of finishing top 4. Pretty much in our hands now considering our schedule vs. everyone else's. Wish could have held on vs. Leeds but even so, I think we're set up now to qualify.
Yeah itās definitely on again, if someone had said to me that from Wolves away, Arsenal away, Villa home and Leeds away we get 10 points Iād have took it and felt we would be back with a shout of it
By the very nature of a top four challenge whoever is in it isnāt as consistent as the ones going for the title and 10 from 12 from that set of fixtures is about as consistent as a top 4 challenge team can hope for
The thought that say West Ham will be more consistent than that is fanciful
Chelsea and Leicester maybe so but both have other things in their sights as well with the CL semis and the FA cup final
We have 6 left, 5 of them being Newcastle , West Brom, Palace, Burnley and Southampton and if we can get similar āconsistencyā as the last 4 then I think we will get enough and certainly say 14 points from the last 18 would be enough particularly when you look at say Leicesterās run in with a last three games of Utd away, Chelsea away and and Spurs
Then look at Chelseaās run, they have West Ham next so one will drop points or both, they have Fulham who is a local derby in between two games with Madrid then they still have City away, Arsenal, Leicester and Villa
So itās down to us to motivate ourselves and get back to the level of performance we know this team has in it and we will probably look at Leeds away as a point gained
Time to step up lads
