[Albion] Where is our next win coming from ? ....

[Megazone]

We'll lose all the matches but thankfully VAR will still award us the points

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Let's just go into 2020 with 20+ points... and then build on that.

That's 2 wins by New Year. Very do-able.

 

[Sheebo]

Something will come up... under Potter, you just know it will.

 

[B-right-on]

Some people see a glass half full.

Others think that global warming is rampant and is drying up all the water on the planet and we're half way towards total annihilation of all life on earth

I think it’s a fair point by Dwayne that the “first quarter” (ish) fixtures seem more winnable than the second quarter on first glance.

Which is why getting 15 points by now was probably the minimum but we’ve got them.

To answer the question, there is no reason why our bad run against Bournemouth should continue, and Palace, Sheff Utd and Wolves are all winnable. With some battling points against the big teams there is a realistic prospect of matching Chris Hughton’s 25 points or so by Xmas/New Year. Then not do the second half of the season collapse as last season, and job done.

Will still be very tough and I think most people realise this, despite the pro-Potter bravado. I think Potter can still improve in finding better and more reliable combinations on the pitch than in his introductory period as Albion manager and that potential could get our pulses racing

Within the first 9 games we had played 3 of last season’s top 4, 2 of them away. So how can our next 6-8 games be harder?
1 game at a time. Our next is at Man Utd who are not much more than a name now and they play Thursday. Potter will go there with a plan to WIN not just draw, it may work or it may not. He’ll do the same when we go to Liverpool.

 

[BadFish]

As crazy as it sounds and despite how good we've been this season. Taking a look at our games over the next 3 months and suddenly this all looks a bit daunting ....

PL10Manchester Utd(A)2pm .... Never easy at OT
PL23LeicesterCity(H)3pm .... Excellent team
PL30Liverpool(A)3pm.... Near impossible

December

PL5Arsenal(A)8.15pm... very rarely lose at home
PL8Wolverhampton(H)4.30pm...finding form again
PL16Crystal Palace(A)8pm.... local derby anything can happen
PL21Sheffield United(H)3pm...they are on fire
PL26TottenhamHotspur(A)12.30pm...revenge job
PL28Bournemouth(H)12.30pm....always lose to them

January

PL1Chelsea(H)12.30pm... excellent team
FAC4TBA
PL11Everton(A)3pm....decent at home.
PL18Aston Villa(H)3pm....winnable
PL21Bournemouth(A)....always lose to them

Should be interesting but I think this run of games shows how easy (relatively) the start of season has been for us. I notice on the tracker that we are not due for many points in this period.

Bring it on.......but maybe savour where we are now because I fear there may be trouble ahead in the near future.

I think you are ignoring our own good form.

if Sheffield United are on fire and we are a point behind them them we must at least be smouldering
Wolves are finding form...... surely we have found it.
Always lose to Bournemouth? This incarnation of The Albion have not yet played them.... reset the stats
Palace? Anything can happen.

Go through your list with a little optimism and it may look a bit better. WE are 8th man, get a grip.

 

[Biscuit]

Next week against Untied. Followed by Palace.

 

[Justice]

No need for this bed wetting shite

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

I agree with op that it's right to be nervous; but I think it will come against the blades.

If so, I imagine a European Super League will be the solution for how football 'tackles' the huge population drop in human life.

Disaster if that happens

 

[Easy 10]

We're going to get Solskjaer the sack next week.

No "big six" side can withstand losing at home to Brighton.

 

[driller]

Good grief.

Can someone tell the OP

We are not shit anymore

 

[oldboyroy]

Apart from top 2 we are now very capable of picking up points against anyone else away or at home. We will win a few lose a few and draw some so not worried at all.

 

[albionfan37]

Just having a glance and currently I’d say we could with reasonable luck pick up points in the next 7 out of 8 games

I can agree with this. I doubt we can get points against Liverpool. But the OP is asking specifically about winning. 5 zip against Bournemouth is a thing of the past so the "we always lose to them" is meaningless, as to the rest they are all hard, but we have the ability to win. Mind you chances will be thin on the ground. GP, although he didn't really go into it appeared pissed that we only won 2-0, as he said when he was asked " That must have been a very satisfactory afternoon for you" replied "well its pleasing to get three points,and keeping a clean sheet" If we miss the chances that do come our way then we will be in trouble as I doubt we will get as many as we did yesterday.

Personally I think we will piss all over Utd next week they are completely gutless and we will pass through them comfortably Leicester are very good but we are at home and look very good. That’s also winnable

I think piss all over Utd is a tad optimistic, but yes they are all at least drawable if not winnable. Although I wouldn't put money on us doing either against Liverpool and expect to pick up winnings

 

[Billy the Fish]

Exactly this. We've looked competitive in every game so far, it is a tough run but this team will definitely pick up points. I just can't see us going on a long losing streak.

One thing to not note - does this mean or run in is a bit easier?

They have absolutely no pace in the middle of the park I think they’ll suit us down to the ground and I can see us winning 2-0 comfortably
