DarkFruitsRam7 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yes tonight's result wasn't ideal, but in the first half we were excellent and it was just individual mistakes by players that haven't let us down all season that resulted in the loss. We attacked excellently for the first 45 and they didn't exactly dominate the second half either. In addition, Thorne broke up the attacks well, Martin played so much better and Razza looked dangerous when he came on. The game on Friday is a win-win situation: If, as expected, we lose, we move on and focus on the league; If we pull of an upset, we gain enormous momentum and confidence for our next few fixtures. Speaking of our next few fixtures, every single game for the next two months is very winnable, which is perfect for getting us back on track and hopefully we can go on a similar run as to what we did in September/October/November time. Our fixtures are: Preston (H) Fulham (A) MK Dons (H) Brentford (A) Blackburn (H) Wolves (A) Huddersfield (H) QPR (A) Rotheram (A) Forest (H) I don't see why we can't get 24 points minimum from a possible 30 out of those games, which would put us in a very nice position indeed.

North_Stand_Ram Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Cup games comes at a good time. United are out of sorts as such and a result could kick us on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yeah, we'll pick up now and hopefully put a good run together. It's taken 5 games for us to go from top to 5th so plenty still to play for, let's see after the next 10. The only thing now is that every dropped point against one of those sides will seem a massive disappointment, we've left ourselves with not a lot of room to maneuver points wise.

North_Stand_Ram Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Burnley have Hull next.... A win against Preston and it could look a bit different. Keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 It's hard once the rot starts setting in. The players at Preston will be keen to prove themselves away at an out-of-form Derby. It's far from ideal in my humble opinion. I think the Preston game could be a horrific one. The crowd are going to have the knives out before a ball has been kicked and they will play without fear. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that a loss to Yernighted, will almost ensure a loss to Preston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think some of the fans will die on Tuesday after been poisoned by the poisonous atmosphere you reported on earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United game is a weird one - some say it's a meaningless game, but for me, this is a chance to either put things wrong or completely fall away. I can see us getting a replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Bloody hell, wished I had that optimism. Teams will love to play us til season end... The £23m team that's there for the taking... We are the Man U of the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with O.P tonight was just one of those, the score flattered Burnley, there is no reason why we can't turn things around against Preston and then kick on. Only QPR and Brentford away look tricky, we can easily get points and more importantly wins up to Forest. Keep the faith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
