Quote D.D.="D.D."In answer to both you and Dan.
Would I sack him now? Not now, but if things carry on for a few weeks in the current vein, I see no option. West Brom away is now crucial, perhaps more so than the derby in a way because we know we will be up for the derby and we know they will come at us so it's a game that suits the way we play.'"
It's a big week this week isn't it, I was saying this coming away from Blackpool today it's a chance to really pick some points up having three games in the week but for you it's really big. West Brom tomorrow which you'd be expected to win and a Manchester derby which is still up for debate for me. 4 or 6 points and it gets you back on track but anything less and you are playing catch up. Big missed chance for us today and it makes out two homes games against Bolton and Arsenal even bigger this week.
Quote D.D.="D.D."In answer to Dan's other question, the top four is the aim and I'd be delighted with that. However, we are there by luck more than anything else at the moment. If we are still there this time next week, I would be very, very surprised.'"
Without seeing you in full every week I'd say you've got a great chance of top 4 at least, Spurs are still really hit and miss and the more they progress in CL the tougher it becomes, they missed VDV badly today by the sounds of it. I'm still not convinced by them at all and for me you're a much better team to make the top four this season. I'd like to think we can push around 5th/6th but we're prob a bit of quality short of a top 4 finish. I just can't see anyone else at the minute who will be good enough to finish top four other than yourselves.
