December fixtures

[Westran]

We have a pretty busy fixture list in December as always, and besides the first and last of the seven, Wolves and Man City respectively, we play 5 teams all in the bottom half. On paper our easiest run of fixtures so far this season.

Realistically how many points do you think we can expect? I'm rubbish at betting and so what I think is probably way off the mark but I'd go for the following:

Wolves (A) - 1 point
Newcastle (H) - 3 points
Norwich (A) - 3 points
Villa (H) - 1 point
Brighton (A) - 1 point
Watford (H) - 3 points
Man City (A) - 0 points

Optimistic I know, but that would give us 12 points out of 21 and put us on a total of 30 halfway through the season, around and about 7th position based on the league table on 2nd Jan 2019.

Realistic or optimistic? It'd essentially extend our unbeaten run to 11 games, since the loss to Liverpool

Wolves (A) - 0 points
Newcastle (H) - 3 points
Norwich (A) - 1 point
Villa (H) - 1 point
Brighton (A) - 0 points
Watford (H) - 3 points
Man City (A) - 0 points

Which is 8 points in total, and will give us 26 points from 20 games. Still top half, and more importantly, a fantastic chance of staying up.

Newcastle (H) - 3 points
Norwich (A) - 1 point
Villa (H) - 1 point
Brighton (A) - 0 points

Man City (A) - 0 points

Which is 8 points in total, and will give us 26 points from 20 games. Still top half, and more importantly, a fantastic chance of staying up.

Those results are my predictions for December too and thats me being conservative and slightly pessimestic.

 

[Westran]

8 points would be more than acceptable. On our current form (1.4 points a game) we end up on 10 points. Barring any major catastrophe, either way we remain in a really good position come 2020

Aye, I guess particularly with the away defeats, given the record so far. Although you never know how things turn out - Watford may have a new manager by Boxing Day, and I remember being confident we'd beat Newcastle last time we were in the Prem, but they did a job on us,

 

[Bruce Wayne]

We can get comfortably take 12 points from that and will need to as January is a shocker.

Wolves (A) - 1 point
Newcastle (H) - 3 points
Norwich (A) - 3 points
Villa (H) - 3 points
Brighton (A) - 3 points
Watford (H) - 3 points
Man City (A) - 0 points

What I can say for certain, is that December will define our season this year.

Do well and we comfortably stay up.

Man City have Wolves and then us within 48hrs... would not be shocked to see them drop points against us, i reckon they will play a second-ish team and generally that could affect their cohesive-ness.

Also we play Liverpool after their mental December, could see us giving them a game for sure
