Positives from tonight....

NewClaret · Post by **NewClaret** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 2:26 pm

Ahead of our bi-annual thrashing by City, I thought I'd start the "positives from tonight..." thread early so we can maintain a degree of optimism before, during and after the match...

I'll start - we don't have to play City again in the PL this season.

The 3 points won tonight put us in touching distance of the top half with a win on Saturday

both games have occurred early enough in the season for us not to be too dependent on the result going our way - or is that too fatalistic about tonight

I think you have hit the nail on the head ... tonights game will not define our season ... I don't think you're being fatalistic at all.

Will only have Spurs (erratic), Arsenal (erratic), Man U (erratic) and Liverpool (erratic) left to play of the so-called Big 6.....and we could take points off any of them potentially.

That means, after tonight I expect us to be competitive in EVERY game till the end of the season (and if City have an off-night, we might just surprise a few tonight, too)

We have only been thrashed by them once at home in the league in recent seasons...so bi annual is just plain wrong

I'll be clapping for captain tom at 6pm , so won't see the first 2 goals

KateR · Post by **KateR** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 3:44 pm

they can only beat us 5 - 0 once this season in the league, will a 4- 0 result or less seem like an improvement of the team? It will for me.

I was worried when he put out a second eleven but they did far better than the first eleven usually does.

A rare home win v City it's long overdue, but perhaps beating entitled Brighton is more important

Pubs open in March? I'll be pleasantly surprised if they are.

Summer I'm thinking.

No harm done if the results stay as they are and Brighton lose at Anfield.

City didn't score during ht.

Boss Hogg · Post by **Boss Hogg** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:09 pm

So far no injuries
Fulham losing

If we manage to keep score line down a bit and Liverpool win later it could be a half decent evening

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:14 pm

Going for a record?
No attempts on goal in two consecutive games.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 7:21 pm

Fulham losing just like us, so no damage done, and Saturday offers a much greater chance of points.

Hopefully Spurs can waken from their slumbers later, and do us a favour.

To put tonight into genuine perspective, this will be City's 13th win on the bounce, so it's not just us who struggle to contain them.

It could be worse we could be Southampton.

It's like we have scored 3 tonight in that we have only lost 2 on the goal difference.. it kind of like a point surely...no?

Wood has a niggle doesnt he?
I dont think he would have played even if close to fully fit

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:02 pm

I’m fairly happy we only let 2 in. The goal difference might play a part at the end of the season. Bring on the next game now!
