Watford (H)
Blackburn (A)
Preston (A)
Derby (H)
Oxford and Derby have very winnable fixtures, only Blackburns look as hard as ours, but we all have winnable games.
Any lingering ambitions I had of promotion evaporated after Wilder's return didn't give us the bounce many hoped, my main concern, and our main concern, now is at this moment avoiding getting cut adrift.
I feel we need to be getting at an absolute minimum 7 or 8 points from those 4 and hope results around us are kind, we should be somewhere handy then to pull away if we can string a few wins together.
I do still believe the squad is good, as usual with United when we aren't performing on the pitch it's usually to do with some off field dramas, this time being the whole sacking/rehiring Wilder debacle. We just need to get some confidence.
We are however light up top, we lack any kind of variety - Campbell and Ings seems similar to me, both are unable to complete 90mins. Cannon, well I'm not even going to get into it but it's fairly clear it's not happening and then there's Oné who Wilder won't pick ahead of Cannon, so until he signs a striker himself in the JTW I'm afraid we are stuck with a strike force about as potent as a camomile tea.
