So, the Ha Ha’s are confident..

[Apprentice to the Maestro]

 . . . and playing well for the whole game.

I think the bad run of form we are in is a false reading.

Last six games

Spurs H
Chelsea A
Stoke A
Sunderland H
Arsenal A
Everton H

The only one of those that was a surprise was Sunderland and that was a game we looked certain to win until the sending off. Also should have won at Chelsea. The others were always gonna be tough games. The next 6 games will have more bearing on our season than the last 6.

A few weeks ago I was hoping that this would be the game where we would win and it would mean the boot for Sparky.

Given that has already happened, this has got them to win written all over it. They have already beaten the record for worst ever start, so who best to end that against?

AAGHHHH!

Fulhamish Till I Die!!

Good context...agree.

[A Humble Man]

Agree playing well is the key to all!

No winning is the key not how you play.

Just put this stat on another thread as well, but 3 of the 4 games we have won this season, we did not start with Ruiz, so Jol knows how to win without him. What this suggests is with him we score more but concede more. It seems Jol needs to work out how to win with him, rather than without him!

To win any game of football you must score more goals than your opposition in any combination of scores.  I discovered this fact early on in my football support and you can prove it looking at any comprehensive League table that show the points gained from each result.

More importantly, do we have a song for Saturday? 

I like the TIFF suggestion "Stand-up if your name's Rupert".

That nearly goes to the tune of Yellow Submarine.

I'm not a fan of predicting games or looking ahead but a decent run of form for the next 6.......?
3 points is a must tonight.

[The Enclosurite]

Confident, without being over-confident, for saturday now.

[A Humble Man]

I was right and we played well and won though our incredibly dodgy keeper nearly gave it away.

Stand up, if you've won a game...

After our performance last night their confidence must be taking a knock.

Of course we do not know what will happen between now and these games, but I know we have enough to win every game.  Obviously, I would not say we were going to, but if we played well and stayed strong for the full 90.....
