Forget the past 5, or the next 5, there won't be, and never was going to be any title challenge.

That ended when we failed to improve the squad in the summer.

4th at best.

So I changed the title of the thread.

Next up in the PL:

Brighton (A)
Huddersfield (A)
Cardiff (H)
Spammers (A)
City (H)

Despite an absolute shambles the last 2 games, I think we can and should go on and win the next 4. If we lose any we can forget about a title challenge. I’m going to flip on my previous pessimism and say we’ll get 13 points

Last season we went D, W, D (if you replace them with Swansea), W, L. So 8 points. We need more than that this time round.

Anything else will be a very big surprise.

That's the Spurs mentality right there, absolutely no belief.

It’s just defence mechanism shit though. No one with half a brain thinks we’re going to get 2 points from our next 15 when we’re playing the likes of Brighton, Huddersfield, Cardiff and West Ham.

If we play like we have done recently we will struggle big time but our quality should see us through against Cardiff and Huddersfield at least. West Ham, although poor, are something of a bogie team for us so I'm not hugely confident about that. I expect something like this:

Brighton - D
Huddersfield - W
Cardiff - W
Spammers - D
City - L

The two draws I reckon we will win but the rest of your prediction looks about right.

Looks about right. Fucking Brighton.

I know they’re decent at home (they gave us a good game last season at the Amex and have beaten UTD there this season) but it’s fucking Brighton ffs.

Yes I know mate but look at Watford ffs similar to Brighton and look how we fell apart as soon as they stepped it up we looked like schoolboys.
West ham hate us and see us as their cup final so put it in as we have seen over the last few years, and as for city well pick your score against them seeing as we are in a bit of a mess with poch not knowing who or where to play anyone along with disinterested players it's not really so far fetched is it.

West Ham I accept as it’s a derby, Cup final and are generally a bit of a bogey team for us in recent years but the rest is silly imo.

Yeah, we lost 1 game against Watford from 2 set pierce goals. When you’re 1-0 up away from home and the home team equalise with 15 min to go or whatever you know you’re gunna be under the cosh for the rest of the game it’s just a shot time to concede. I don’t see that as evidence that we’re suddenly going to bottle it against every lower league team we face.

To be fair, at least you had us to win 1 or 2 matey boy who doesn’t think we’ll win any is being stupid.

Yes even though I feel we are not playing as well as we can do I can't believe that we will see two home defeats to those two.
