In the Mix
Sunday, February 1st, 2009Yes, I still think we are, rather than in the soup? The transfer window or Christmas sales period is nearly over and, as things stand, we have Cudicini (Gomes looked a better bet yesterday?), Defoe (currently crocked), Chimbonda (good attacking play) and Palacios (‘Crystal’, who also looked sharp). Is that it? Not long to wait now. As for Benitez, he can shut up since he doesn’t seem to want Keane?
I think the squad looks better than at the start of the season and we’re in the pack.
So, the last 8 league games have yielded 6 points – not enough! The first 8, 2 points and the next 8, 16! Consistent, we’re not. We’ve won 6, drawn 6 and lost 12. It won’t be easy to climb clear but we really will need to work our socks off to the end. Our strikers have scored a few, our midfield not enough and our defence must tighten up.
I guess we want 16 points from the last 14 games – more would be nice, plus the Carling Cup for Europe next season? Here’s hoping. We’ve got everything crossed – even hot buns!
COYS.
