villalad21 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 We've come a long way with incredible 12 points after 4 games. We are breaking records, 2nd in the table, and our next 5 games could determine whether we will continue to be in the discussion of the top 6 or if it will be a mid table season. The fixtures coming up are: - Leeds (H) - Southampton (H) - Arsenal (A) - Brighton (H) - West Ham (A) I think this team is capable in getting all 15 points. Question is if they can stay focused enough and keep their form and if we can avoid any injuries on key players. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take double figures myself and that does also include 15. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubberman Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Every team ever has dropped points. Would be more than happy with 10 from this run, 6 or fewer would be pretty poor. Edited October 21, 2020 by rubberman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 9 -12. You'd really want 7 points at least from those home games. draw both away games or win one and lose one would be fine too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YouUnastanFren Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 The answer depends entirely on injuries but assuming we don't have any and after the insane start we've had I'd love us to get 60 points this season which is just under 1.6ppg. If we can average over that for every 5 game stretch this season we'll absolutely smash 60 points. That would mean we'd require 8 or more points from these 5 games but after our first four games even if we reverted to the expected mean a bit and only got 6-8 we'd still be on track.

VillaFaninLondon Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Being cautiously optimistic but I think with the way we're playing: Leeds (h) - W Southampton (h) - W Arsenal (a) - L Brighton (h) - W Spam (a) - D So I voted 9-11 with 10 points. I'd be a bit disappointed with 6-8 and anything below that is poor. Looking at our next 10 games, there is a good possibility we could have 30+ points after 14 matches. That would be incredible if so. But the games get much tougher in the second half of the season, so important we keep winning now to gain momentum.

I think that it must have a psychological advantage on players. They just feel at home as opposed to a place where they might have been only a few times in their lives before. If someone asked you to cook your favourite dish at your mate's house it would be a little different than cooking it at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QldVilla Posted October 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted October 21, 2020 There all winnable games, think we’ll get around 10 points from those games. If we just had those 3-4 quality players on the bench to rotate the squad, you would be really confident. It’s just keeping those excitement levels in the squad week in week out.

nick76 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I think there needs to be a level head here sometimes, we have a run of teams that arent the top end but also winning the first 9 games is very very unlikely. We've had a fantastic start so anything in double figures of points would be an exceptional return for me. Even if we got three wins that means we are on 21 points after a quarter of the season. I still think scrapping into the top 10 would be an incredible achievement this season and I still think we are more likely to be 14th than 6th at the end of the season. Maybe a bit of downer on the start of the season but we've only played four games so far, let's take each game as it comes........otherwise this is where people start calling for Smith's head if he has a ten game bad streak, which given our depth strength could easily happen. I'm going to enjoy each game at the moment, and not think long term until we have a quantity of games under our belt to assess where we are and that will more like 20 games. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLillis Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Just 8 points has us in 2nd place this time last season. I wonder what it will do for us this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
