Success : 6th -7th

Failure :10th downwards.

Still think Europe is achievable. We are building confidence and with these new additions, have much more options to see off teams we normally lose ot draw with ......

top ten will surely be what we're looking at now but hopefully better than that and maybe top 7. would be excellent considering the turmoil at the start of the season and being in the drop zone around christmas.

not feeling so optimistic about the fa cup. i'm desperate to see us win something..

The other thing to consider is that where and how we finish this season can have a bearing on the type of player we can attract in the summer.

We picked up some pretty decent players whilst in a relegation battle.
It's how Hotlips and Randy sell the club and the coming season that matters.

Top 10 would be nice but I'd except a decent bit of football to be played too. Also it would be nice to have a pretty rockin' March to break the monotony of seasons past.

I think we can reach somewhere between 7th and 9th in the league and hopefully a good FA Cup run. It is not impossible to sneak in UEFA Cup for next season. But we have to keep winning run going.

I'd be really disappointed if we finished in the bottom half now, with our run in.

So decent finishing 8th, 9th or 10th.

Really good would be finishing 6th or 7th and miraculously qualifying for europe.

In my view, a successful end to this season would be a top ten finish. Considering where we were at Christmas anything from 10th on would be a success.We might be jumping the gun a bit to be aiming higher. We have improved in the transfer window and results have bimproved. However, I'm sure it'll take time to bed in all the new players and to figure out what our best eleven is.

A minimum 50 ( plus or minus 5 ) points. Villa have 28 points now and there remains another 39 points to play for.

Top 10 will be decent enough, this run of games we have we really need to pick up lots of points.
