Villa, Swansea and Watford - all in the bottom half of the table. 15 points from 10 games and we'll all feel a lot better. If Hughes doesn't eff it up that is. Barring injuries, we should crystalize around Arnie Bojan and Shaquri or Affelay behind Diouf and we'll be OK, I hope. Diouf's much more lively than Walters, and let's face SJW didn't do much today except score a tap in. Arnie did all the work. Much prefer Cameron, Van Ginkel or even Sidwelll alongside Whelan - Adam is a walking red card.

Never mind the next 3, 6 of our next 7 are against teams in the bottom half, the other being against Southampton who are currently 9th. Would be nice to go into December comfortably in the top half.....  |

Every game we play is a winnable one.
We've got some very good players who are capable of beating anyone on their day.
We are also more than capable of losing against absolutely anyone on any given day.

Don't see how Swansea away falls into that category

All winnable but equally with our defending and self destruct attitude all loseable too!

We are also more than capable of losing against absolutely anyone on any given day. That statement is more relevant this season than ever as most teams have suffered from unforeseen loses. |

7 months since we last won on the road with Moses penalty right at the death at Villa.
I'm not denying any one of those games is winnable individually but the chances of putting 2 away wins together in a row are as close to zero as makes no difference right now.

it will be interesting to see how can improve away , in all of the games so far teams have got through us way too easily and all of them might have seen us concede a few goals with Jack's heroics keeping the score down , we need to tighten up starting next week , we have the quality to hit teams on the break and score but we have to sort the defensive side out

I'd take 5 points; Villa D, Swansea D, Watford W.
If we beat Villa it would be a big bonus.

Most confident against Villa out of all them if I'm honest. Swansea are still a cracking team and Watford seem very hard to break down. 5 points would be brilliant in my opinion, 6 or 7 I'd be ecstatic!

I've spent £41 on a ticket and will have to buy a box of Krispy Kreme donuts to pay for the car lift from my Villa supporting mate to the game. I'd like to think that my investment will pay off with that mental that only an away win can give. But there is one big word of warning on this one: Villa have lost more Premier League games in 2015 than any other club (17) and have lost seven and won one of their last eight games. And guess who's coming next week to end their run?!  |

I'm not denying any one of those games is winnable individually but the chances of putting 2 away wins together in a row are as close to zero as makes no difference right now.I don't agree with that. Conservatively I'd say winning at both Villa and Swansea is like 20/1, which is 5 times out of 100 and is a long way from being close to 0. |

1-4 = True to form and a reason to worry
5, 6 = Encouraging
7, 9 = Turned the corner

If I was a betting man (which I am not because it's illegal here) I'd say 3/1 chance of beating Villa, 6/1 chance of beating Swansea = 18/1 winning both (about 5%). Chance of winning against Watford = 5/2. So chance of winning all 3 = 45/1, which is about 2%! |

What a bunch of spineless, gut less, bottle job set of fans we have 'acquired'.
I sometimes wish that we would get relegated to drop some of these fucking morons.

If a game is winnable, Stoke are more than likely to cock it up eg get two players sent off - if we've no chance, then suddenly there's some fire in the bellies - it's the cack handed, doppel ganging arsed up logic that applies in the potteries - & why it drives so many good decent stoke fans to bloody drink!!!! |

I think aspects of our current side are very worrying but a top goalkeeper and the ability to score the quality of goals we do even when playing badly should keep us out of trouble just about , hopefully other aspects of our play will improve
