March complexities

[skiathospurs]

Well the complexity is will we have progressed in the champions league to the qtr-finals and beaten Rochdale and progressed to the FA cup qtr-finals too??If not March/April will be pretty barren fixture wise.Further complications are an international break at the end of the month meaning our last game in March could well be the 16th on friday vs Newcastle.At the time of posting we have to play Palace this weekend and the 5th round cup replay on weds after,then things will look a bit clearer.

Fixtures as it stands in March
3rd Huddersfield PL (H)
7th Juventus CL (H)
11th Bournemouth PL (A)
16th Newcastle PL (H)

And believe it or that is it!!even if we beat rochdale and have a tie against either Swansea or Sheff weds away that will replace the newcastle fixture weekend 17th/18th though it is possible it could be a friday night tie in the cup.The following weekend is international friendlies so no way to rearrange the Newcastle fixture this month,same should the possible fa cup tie end in a draw and replay,that would be serious fixture congestion for april especially if we progress in the champions league at Juve`s expense.with matches played 3rd april-11th april. ICYMI FA cup semis in april are 21st (meaning Brighton away moved) ,CL semi finals 25th-2nd May,thankfully the PL has no midweek fixtures scheduled for the whole of April.But we could be playing midweek from the start of april through until,well end of the season pretty much,so get the rest in this month lads and pray for no freaky injuries in the international friendlies.

Easy enough to say we should ,could win every game this month,but tis the time teams in the bottom huddle raise it and fight for their lives,before palace we have 11 league matches left,and a 2pt average a game would give us 74pts end of the season,pretty sure that is top 4 most times.

Games which favour us this month include;
arsenal vs city,city vs chelsea,arsenal away anywhere (brighton) man u vs liverpoo

Everyone clear on this??

Yep, clear as mud mate.
Id be wanting 9pts from those games mentioned above, 12pts inc the Palace game. We really need to capitalise on the ones around us taking points from each other. As for the cups, we should beat Rochdale and Juve.
Not really asking too much am I?

No mate, I think we need to be demanding 12 points from those games, totally reasonable expectation. If we don't get at least 9 then that would be more than dissapointing.

Should win against the Cherries and advance in both cups really.

And @skiathospurs , you can take the Arsenal fixtures out as being of importance mate. They are an absolute irrelevance to us now.
