Popular Post Osirus Posted April 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2023 Our form and performances remind me of that 10 game winning streak in the championship. If that was possible, then so is Europa League this year 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicho Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I think we’ll win atleast 6 of the next 10 games. Will that be enough for Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea v Liverpool this Wednesday...do we want a draw or a Chelsea win? If we beat Leicester its a bit irrelevant.

PaulC Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 We can never get ahead of ourselves. As Ollie said take each game at a time. See where it takes us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Any chance of making this dream a reality depends on building a platform over the next 5 games, then holding on for some tough matches in the home stretch. not impossible, I won’t jinx it by saying any more!

useless Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 I would still be happy just to finish top ten, getting into Europe would be good but if we don't it won't mean we will have had a disappointing season as getting into Europe always a big ask this season anyway, but even more so considering we essentially handicapped by the first ten games, so much so that getting top half will actually be a good achievement not only because it will be for the first time in twelve years but also because we will have had to show good form since Emery came in to achieve it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 We are in form and 2 points off sixth. Europe is 100% the target now and we must go for it. Nothing wrong with this sort of pressure, makes a nice change from the pressure of staying up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsky_11 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Back above the 60 point line for the first time since the Leicester lost put us under it. My original projection for remaining games has us with a 57-58 point now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More realistic a top 6 place would be nice. You see I reckon 4th will be around 62-65 points so a long shot....but not impossible. I reckon Spurs might lose most of their away games left (including to us). Newcastle have quite a few tough matches still to play at home aswell. Hopefully they don't beat Man. United tomorrow otherwise they're be big favourites then. The rest are bang in the pack with us now. Someone asked who we want to win out of Chelsea-Liverpool. Chelsea win 100%. They're too far back to seriously challenge and still have both Manchester clubs and Arsenal to play away. Liverpool could still spam wins from all their home games and win a couple away and suddenly they're over 60 points so the longer they get stalled the better. If they don't win either of their next two we'll be above them I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted April 1, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 1, 2023 Not that it’s particularly relevant, but with a slightly quirky coincidence, we were also on 41 points after 28 games during the 55 points season. But we weren’t quite in the ascendancy like we now appear to be in, I think we’re going to surpass it this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just one point from Forest and Leeds away. Probably would've got the full six with Emery in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 In our hands scarily enough and in the ascendency. The Brighton, Brentford, and Newcastle fixtures will decide this I think. Huge 6 pointers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Tomorrow and the day after there are two important games. Hopefully Newcastle and Spurs lose both. I’m not aiming at 4th right now, but those two could get dragged while Brighton or Liverpool goes for 4th. So as much teams failing to put a gap, the better for us. I’ve been saying game at a time. Now we have another cup final against the foxes. It could go either way as they’re now part of the bottom 3. We had our worst result under Emery against them. We really have to focus on that. We usually lose home and away to a relegated team. Bournemouth in our first year, Watford last year. We need to be sure we don’t do the same this time. Huge game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whopping two whole points from Bournemouth, Palace, West Ham, Leeds and Forest at the start of the season. I wasn’t exactly happy about it at the time, but looking back at it now it’s criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing at an awful 10 man Sheffield United, 0-0 v Wolves etc. We had a rally in our final 5 games but this is different and feels more like how we started that season when we were incredible defensively for first 20 games and scoring for fun at the other end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
