February will make or break us

Back at the QPR game I said to my son we would get 27 points from next 30. We're on target with 12 from 12.

Between now and end Jan, 11 matches, think we will lose maybe 3 or 4, and maintain our 2 points per game average.

But February is the key month. 7 matches in 29 days. None individually appear a problem on paper but the intensity of games in such a short period especially if we get through the cup (that banana skin always plays with our confidence) that could add extra pressure.

It's gonna be a roller coaster - I'm loving it!

We need to work on corners ………. !!

I keep watching and hoping, but the result ends up the same. F*&k all …..

Our corners are pretty good, delivery wise. Just never convert anything

Too many fail to get past the first defender.

Villa were 13th in March, we we're 2nd. Nothing is won or lost in February. Best recruiting teams in Jan will go up, just like last year.

Why would white join Leeds over Brighton or in fact Liverpool who were sniffing. Come the end of the season several big clubs like arsenal skum require centre backs. If white continues this form then the top off the premier will be his destiny

Why would white join Leeds over Brighton
--------
1) He feels that he has a unique chance to learn under a unique manager.
2) He likes the engagement with the fans home and away.
3) He has found a place where himself and his partner are happy
4) There are a number of players ahead of him in pecking order at Brighton
5) If promoted, then we're a bigger club than Brighton

Bielsa has told us Orta wanted to sign White last year but Bielsa said no because we had enough.

He would have made a big difference against Derby.

but sadly in todays game all of this counts for very little and money is 99% of times the winner. Brighton have the stability of a few seasons up there and likely will be able to pay him more. Top6 club would certainly offer him more.

I said the other day Bielsa knows why Costa isn't as effective as he could/should be!..

Its Bielsa's system that doesn't give him the room to run!..

We play so far forward that when Costa tries to run he runs out of space and has no choice but to rush a cross,(bad pass!)or run into touch!..

Has he never run with the ball and ran it into touch?....I think he has!..

Bielsa knows this but still trusts him to play a part, Costa is good, but his game needs more space to run at defenders and make them work!..

The goal yesterday was running from the back and feeding Costa with room to move and in doing so he showed what he can do!..

Exactly Germany - I don't remember us having one other chance to do that all season, with the way teams set up to pack their defence

That is their prerogative as that is how I would set a team up against us, but that move showed that when there is the space to move into fast, we will take it.
