final league position target

[BlueToff]

funny how claim to be able to read other people's minds.

finishing mid table would mean its been a poor season - period. trying to mask that with the fact that there's been takeover isn't fooling anyone. nor is a half decent cup run.

At the start of the season if somebody had told you we'd finish top 8, i'd imagine you would have been happy?

We may not finish top 8, we may not finish top half, or we may even still finish top 6. Everything to play for.

We need to just keep going under the radar. See where we are in 7 games times with 4 to play if we are sitting 6/7 or 8th then we have real strong chance of Europe. I would take 7th and fa cup winner like

This season is started to play out a bit like 2011/12.

Started poorly. Done some good business in January. Started to do well in the second half of the season. Got to the semis (x2?). Finished above Liverpool.

We can still mathematically win the title, so we should target that from today and then regroup after every game, throwing in the obvious accumulation of 'ffs'.

Liverpool (A) 0 traditional bottling
West Ham (H) 3 one man team
Sunderland (A) 3 turd
Arsenal (H) 0 much better team
Man Utd (A) 0 one win since like 1904
Watford (A) 3 average and beatable
Southampton (H) 3 gone poop easy win
Palace (A) 1 decent team, hard to beat
Bournemouth (H) 3 poor
Leicester (A) 1 maybe unless they want it more
Norwich (H) 3 beyond plop, hopefully relegated them

20 points = 58 and statisticly a probable 7th.

7th

 

[USABlue]

Anywhere from 6th to 8th but as others have said just go for as many wins as we get and see where it takes us. Europa would be boss even if we got it from being 7th, that being said we should cut to the chase and just win the cup

Chances are we'll take a point each off the dark side, Arsenal and Manure but lose to Norwich.

This is probably realistic but i look at that list and can see no reason why we cannot go undefeated in that time.

 

[peteblue]

We will finish above the RS either in 7th or 6th place......however 5th is not beyond us......

Yeah just went within reason. Could easily beat Arsenal and lose to Sunderland just to be Everton.

Not at all. 8th is failure. 7th is par.

There has to be a line to draw in the sand for success and failure. For most people, I expect that would have been at the very least top seven. But 8th would certainly be considered failure by I'd guess pretty much everyone.

 

[HughesyEFC]

Above the rs will do me, oh and the fa cup will do aswell

[mmmmsnouts]

What about the fact we spent the first half of the season playing without a goalkeeper? It's annoying to think we could genuinely be in the mix for 4th if we'd been playing one that whole time

There were also four 0-0 and 1-1 games in there where the attack battered the opposition and couldn't find a winner. Keeper is not the only what if from earlier in the year.
