Much better tonight in helping the goal diff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m obviously getting completely carried away but we are looking different gravy in the PL. Let’s go with 4th...

Vive_La_Villa Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Mid table would be superb but now we have beaten Liverpool by 7 the players will go in to every game feeling they can win regardless of who the opponent is. A lot will come down to injuries but if we can keep our key players fit there is no reason we can’t finish top off. I mean if Sheffield United can do it why can’t we?!

Sulberto21 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Depends on if we bring in one or two more. It's a squad game. Realistically 11th is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranavfc Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Now 10th favourite for the title but still below Leeds FFS 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Need to get to fourty points as soon as possible, we'already have more than a quarter of last seaon's total, then take it from there. Even though we won our game, I'm still glad that Fulham, Albion and Sheffield United lost their games, need as big a gap between ourselves and those kind of teams as possible, especially with the run of fixtures we have at the end of the season, although hopefully we're well clear by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams are going to fear us this season. We won't win every game but I promise everyone here we're going to seriously harm some of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Ten goals in our last two league games and six different goalscorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Seriously think we can finish 10th. Would need a fair wind and maybe a couple of additions in January but no reason we can't aim for that. Then build again next summer and go for a Europa spot. Onwards and upwards.

Picking up more points now just means less likely to be scrapping at the end of the season which is the objective. Steady progress! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been so annoyed reading so many comments from other fans that we are likely to go down. Maybe we changed a few minds with these three wins.

Gompedyret Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Thanks to a game against Liverpool we built up the best goal difference in the league. That is so delightfully absurd to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 We will have many ups and downs this season but for the first time in years it feels like we are building something special. The team spirit, determination, exciting play, it’s all there. We also have some truly brilliant individual players within that. We might end up losing by 5 goals and doing some mad shit this season, but I’m glad I can share it with you all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwivillan Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I thought 8th before we signed Barkley. I really think everything is aligning for us including likes of Manure not buying hardly anyone. Would be disappointed if don't finish above them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Let’s see how they do with a little adversity. Match congestion, poor form, Injuries will test this team. But I say Top 10. Yes pool were without some players and it was probably an off-day for them but we dismantled their defense and did very well not to let them get into a rhythm. It wasn’t like we were getting lucky with counters nor was it a nail- biting 1-nil win. We handily beat them with a much better execution of a game plan. This team has a ton of ability and as Dean said, they set the bar for expectations this season. Edited October 5, 2020 by Aston_Villan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
