Still currently only 21 fit players with Izzy and the greyhound as you surely can't actually believe Andrew Cofts is nothing more than a squad filler

I'd rather start him than Mooy again.

Bit tongue in cheek, though I did think Mooy was garbage today, never seen a professional footballer look so slow. Bring back Kemy, all is forgiven.
All squads have injured players. That's why we have 25 player squads instead of just naming the first XI for the season. Just because two of our 24 squad members are injured, it still doesn't make it a 21 man squad!
Mooy's middle name is Frank..... Burn's is Johnson - LoL

Sorry for delay, extended weekend up North.
Par result, but oh my we really should be winning against potentially the worst home team I have seen us play against in the Premier League.
Anyway, six games in, and we have matched the predicted results in two now, worse in three, better in one. A worry.
Could do with a shock win against either of the next two "big" boys or elsewhere we may be in the brown stuff with pressure building soon.
Under Potter this thread and tracker seems to be working the other way to under Hughton. Under Hughton I'd watch the football and be in despair and then refer back to this for comfort. Under Potter I watch the football and I'm really happy, then look at the tracker and despair! Probably also partly explains my late update.

Previous seasons we got very little from the top 6, so the next two league games aren't that vital. But the three of Villa, Everton, Norwich are key now, even if we aren't supposed to get anything off of Everton.

Yep agreed. I think Villa away and Everton at home is a great chance to get those five points back. We do however need to also beat Norwich to maintain it which may actually be harder.

strong and stable with me, or...
With all the changes from our manager to tactics to players, I think the biggest impact so far on the season has been through dropping 'bedwetting' from the thread title. Forget loan deals, transfers and the rest of it, this is having the biggest impact so far I feel...

Well better late than never. I've been celebrating for too long.
Our season is now on a knife edge. 2 points behind staying up but also 2 points behind Europe. The two lines split very soon though.
Interesting that both of our wins have come in games we weren't "expected" to win. We haven't yet won a game under Potter that we were "expected" to win. Next opportunity to do that is Norwich at home. Big game. But maybe we will get an "unexpected" win at Villa or home to Everton first?
Also, had we got "expected" points in all the other games, well the three where we have fallen short (i.e West Ham, Southampton and Burnley), we would be second on the same number of points as Man City...
