Robson in the rain: Goodison Park, September 1981

It's always the way. You wait five months for a win, and then... three come along at once?

We're not quite there yet, but this Saturday we venture up to Goodison Park with two consecutive wins under our belt, and a manager with a long history of turning wins into streaks. To be honest, we could probably do with it. Despite an excellent and well-deserved win against Brighton, our overall position hasn't improved, and we're going to need to keep churning out the same if we're ultimately to survive.

My personal feeling, even during the autumn, was that Everton had a team good enough to beat the drop even under Koeman. However, Sam Allardyce has unquestionably taken that side and made it one of the real form teams of the league, and it'll be a massive test for Albion to get through. A defeat would be a real setback, and one we can ill afford. A draw would be acceptable, and keep us treading water. But after an awful 2017, could we perhaps get the ball rolling now with three in three?
