Points from every December game?

[jbstokie]

Newcastle A
Fulham H
Blackburn A
ManUre H
Wet Sham A

Four winnable games there and Boxing day where I think we're capable of a point, whether we'll get it or not is a different matter.

I know our away form isn't great to say the least but we've got to win at some point away from home so why not Blackburn? If 3,000 can inspire a point at Anfield, surely a potential 7,000 can inspire all 3 at Ewood park?

West Ham and Newcastle don't look winnable on paper but we've got to get the odd lucky win or draw away from home if we want to stay up, we can't rely on home form. Realistically though, anything more than 20 points by Christmas would be ideal

Come on Stoke, Do eet ;D

Well we've had 2 lucky draws already. Now's the time to get some of those winny things you mentioned

[evans1863]

Newcastle A - 2-0 Caslte
Fulham H - 2-0 Stoke
Blackburn A - 1-0 Stoke
ManUre H - 2-1 Stoke (why not? If we can beat Arsenal then as long as we play with no fear there is no reason we ant do these at home, especially as they'll be jet-lagged from that stupid Club Championship thing)
Wet Sham A - 1-0 West Ham

Id sacrifice at win at Manure for a win at West Ham as I think thats a 6 pointer, but oh well I wont be grumbling if we pick up as many as I've suggested above

[bayernoatcake]

Newcastle is winnable but Owen is bound to score at least one and add to Martins into the mix and I don't think we'll get a point.

What is worrying me about the Fulham and Blackburn games are the quality of their strikers. I know this league is full of them but I can Johnson causing problems with his pace. And Santa Cruz causing problems with his cleverness.

[luke45]

8 points would be a great effort, i think we are capable of more though, fancy us alot against Fulham, and think we are capable of taking 4 points from castle' and blackburn.

Goarnnnnn Stoke

[jbstokie]

Would be happy with that Evans, think Castle will be the most difficult of the five

[gilberto]

we'll get nowt at newcastle. TP was already getting the excuses in straight after the hull match. 'oohh they've got viduka coming back, owen, martins...' that, to me, just shows the intention to go and do what we've done every other away game and try and pinch a point.

im hoping with 7,000 at blackburn he at least makes some attempt at winning the game. if we can claw ourselves to 20 points or over this month, which should be do-able, we're on course.

[block30row19]

4 maybe 5 points from them games i would say.

That's from my head.

From my heart 15 ;D

[jbstokie]

We're already on course, by my reckoning we've got 4 points more than expected at this stage (Spurs, Villa, Arsenal)

[block30row19]

Fooking Mentalist ;D

[jbstokie]

You are bang wrong

[Irish Stokie]

I find it a bit strange that some think that the Castle game is tougher then playing the European champions? I dont think castle will be the hardest game because although they are fighting more under Kinnear they are hopeless at the back and havent a prayer of defending the throws and Fuller will have a field day. West Ham is a tough game and i would be delighted with 6 points

[meirsquare]

How do you win away when we only average a shot a game or thereabouts on travels ?

[jbstokie]

Have faith

[crimesy]

someone posted on here that police have restricted stoke alocation at b'burn to 4000 for "obvious reasons". Not sure though..

[meirsquare]

always had faith mate......but the question is valid.

[mermaidsal]

Mystic Sal predicts...

Realistically I reckon we'll get 7 points, Fulham's the banana skin for me, and I've just got a feeling Wet Sham could be our first away win.

[DannyStokie]

If they'd restricted the allocation i'm sure we'd know. I really can't see them restricted the allocation, pointless.

To be fair, we have destroyed manchester every time we've got near to it, its getting very costly to keep rebuilding it only for us to come along and flatten it again. ;D

Of course, all destruction was caused by 50 yard throws of objects

[Olgrligm]

Players like Jonas, Ronaldo and Johnson worry me. These guys play for freekicks and penalties and our tackling has been a little naive this season. Look at the tackle that got Shawcross booked against Wigan - clear dive, but a stupid tackle in the first place.

[DannyStokie]

I can't believe that people think they will lower the allocation, it's been agreed between the clubs, tickets on sale on wednesday, lots of money gained from it. But the police say stoke fans are a pain and blackburn jump ? I just can't see it somehow.

[premierpotters08]

if we can secure good players like adybayer didnt do to bad against anelka secured geovani well then why cant we keep martins,owen,and all the others tight we ned to have that "in your face" style of play now everything else is going okay for us.

[bayernoatcake]

Owen is clever though as is Santa Cruz-we never fair to well against these types as we never seem to know where they are! ;D
