Brewster and RND will be match fit for next season. Don’t rely on them.Our injured players when they return will be like good new signings.

proper belly laugh at that….taA lot of people on here need to come to terms with the fact that we won't win another game again. EVER.
why not ? we havent played well for the last 2 months with this system and both hudders and hull should have got something from us at the lane put norwood and doyle in front of a back 4 as protection we need another body in midfield both boro and millwall carved us open by us being too light in midfieldYou've actually sacrificed a defender for a midfielder there.
I'm not saying that's wrong, but it is probably too late in the season for such a radical switch (4-2-3-1). I'm not sure we have the right players for a back 4.
United got 44 points from the first 23 matches.I thought it might be interesting to see how the eventual points total would turn out o
If results against the same opposition were replicated for the rest of the season.
Not suggesting this will happen but should give some food for thought as to what each team was capable of when they last met that same opposition.
Here's how it would look.
Current points:
United - 61 from 32
Boro - 57 from 33
Boro:
WBA(a) 1
Reading (h) 0
Swansea (a) 3
Stoke (h) 1
Preston (h) 0
Huddersfield (a) 1
Burnley (h) 0
Bristol (a) 1
Norwich (h) 3
Hull (h) 3
Luton (a) 3
Rotherham (a) 1
Coventry (h) 0
Summary - W4 D5 L4 Pts 17
Total - 74
United:
Watford (h) 0
Blackburn (a) 3
Reading (a) 3
Luton (h) 1
Sunderland (a) 3
West Brom (h) 3

Wigan (h) 3

Total - 94
Just wanted to add a different context. There would need to be a 20 point gain by one or loss by the other on the current season results or loss of 10 by one and gain of 10 by the other etc. If we can close to replicate then they are out of it. Maximum they can get anyway would be 96 points, winning them all, and us replicating the earlier results gets us to 94 already.
So when I hear that someone has a harder set of fixtures than the other it might be worth remembering that Boro took 17 points from the same teams this very same season whilst United got almost twice as many against the opposition we will face.
This wasn't meant to be a positive or negative thread more a factual starter point to reference how we go during the run in. When we look at the thread comparing last seasons results we are not doing worse in many instances. By the same token, we would need a complete reversal of fortune against teams we have shown ourselves to be better than and likewise, so will Boro.
This picture can change very quickly. Another couple of bad results and they will be toe to toe. But if they lose away to West Brom and we beat Watford and win the game in hand, then the point lead will be 10 once more with little more than 10 or 11 to go which would surely feel insurmountable once more. This could well be the closest they get to us.

They are not predictions!!! they are the points gained from the first meeting of each club.Fook me you’ve got a head full of Cartoons there Champagne! I’m guessing your an accountant or something down those lines as you clearly have a maths brain but absolutely no clue about footy mate!

Watching Watford v WBA first half Boro have a much easier task than us on Sat!
They will, just to make sure they are all there and not being eaten !The vegetarians won’t.
No !!!!Bit of unscientific spaffing around with a predictor sees my calculations as thus on game 45
United: P45, W26, D10, L9, 88pts, +36 GD
Boro: P45, W26, D8, L11, 86pts +27 GD
Would you take going into the final game two ahead and with better GD? We've got Birmingham away on the final day and they've got Coventry at home.
Were you shivering the night before Wigan ?Kine
Kinell, that's just sent a reight shiver down my spine!!
Methinks you are over kind !!You're new around here, so I'll let you off.
What do Birmingham and Coventry have to pay for in this theoretical situation??Bit of unscientific spaffing around with a predictor sees my calculations as thus on game 45
United: P45, W26, D10, L9, 88pts, +36 GD
Boro: P45, W26, D8, L11, 86pts +27 GD

we'd be lucky to stay up with that midfield.How about a midfield of Basham, Norwood and Fleck? Coulibally and Doyle on the bench if it doesn’t work?
Many have claimed that the current midfield isn’t working. This is the only alternative in reality. PH has to make do with what he’s got, probably for next season as well as this.we'd be lucky to stay up with that midfield.
Don’t be coming on here with your common sense posts. The pessimists won’t like it much.The slight caveat to that being that WBA’s current home form of 6 and 1 draw in their last 7 games at the Hawthorns, with just one goal conceded, is formidable. And they know they need the points to stay in the play-off picture.
Watford need the points too, of course, but are a middling and inconsistent side away from home. The draw at Burnley last time out was, ostensibly, an impressive result but even Bilic was honest enough to say that they absolutely did not deserve it.
