We now have 4 fixtures away from home in the space of 12 days, now would seem like a great time to get our away form back on track.

Tue 29 December 2015 19:45 GMT A Leicester City Barclays Premier League Match info
Sat 02 January 2016 17:30 GMT A Watford Barclays Premier League Match info
Wed 06 January 2016 20:00 GMT A Everton Capital One Cup Match info
Sat 09 January 2016 15:00 GMT A Norwich City FA Cup Match info

What do you think would be a good return from those fixtures?

I would be delighted with two wins in the league, score draw against Everton meaning we have a slight advantage taking them back to the Etihad.
A win ideally but even a draw against Norwich could also be seen as a decent result in this scenario even though that means a replay!
We would all love to win all 4 but think we should prioritise the 2 league games and the Semi Final fixtures

Do we think we will see a lineup similar to this for Norwich game?
Any chance Humphreys would be given the opportunity over Demichellis?
Any other youngsters likely to feature?

Avoid losing away from home in the league would keep us up there. And to do so we have to defend properly.

4 difficult fixtures. Every game is difficult this season as we've dropped a bit, and everyone barring top 4, Villa and Sunderland have improved.
 
If we were to lose one of these fixtures which would you choose?
Everton is the obvious answer as that wouldn't be definitive in the outcome.
Would you be willing to sacrifice the FA Cup for playing strongest team in the Everton matches?

Just a quick review of the last 4 away games, personally I'm happy (not delighted) with the return.

I wasn't far off with the starting 11 for Norwich game either, got the front 6 correct.

Tue 29 December 2015 19:45 GMT A Leicester City Barclays Premier League Match info 0v0 1point
Sat 02 January 2016 17:30 GMT A Watford Barclays Premier League Match info 1v2 3 points
Wed 06 January 2016 20:00 GMT A Everton Capital One Cup Match info 2v1 loss in first leg
Sat 09 January 2016 15:00 GMT A Norwich City FA Cup Match info 0v3 through to next round

4 points in the league from two tough away fixtures, loss in a two legged tie and a win in the FA Cup.
Out of all those games the Everton match is probably the one we could afford to lose (fingers crossed)
Granted some of the performances were not brilliant but should we see that as a good return?

My opinion is things are Looking good blues, onwards and upwards, CTWD!!

Delighted Iheanacheo got his start, well deserved and we know,he will continue to work hard!
