5 chances surely for 4 possible trips? Title winners or Fac Cup winners for charity shield makes 2. FA cup semi, FA cup final, League Cup final.

5 chances, for 4 trips? Are we talking about shots on target? Achieve that and it would be a miracle Lambert.

I'm going for February.  The end of February, though.

Safe to say you won't be needing 40 points to stay up this season.

Palace got a 3-3 at Newcastle today, Burnley I agree, WBA will get about 41 they are jammy gits and will get Irvine out by Christmas.

Yeah obviously pending on management changes, Sunderland are another one I'd put down there as like us I don't see a lot of goals in their line up.

I was very pessimistic earlier this summer like so many but as long as our defence dosen't suddenly collapse we will nick enough games to be fine as there are plenty of poor teams again in the premier league.

Find a way of scoring and we won't have to worry.

With Palace I don't see them winning as many games under Warnock as they would've under Pulis.

I think the 3 they conceded today against Newcastle gives an indication they'll be a bit more loose at the back so that would mean they'll struggle to win too many to be comfortable mid table.

I really don't see us bringing another striker in tbh so need to wait until October till Benteke hopefully comes back.

Struggling to score just puts more pressure on the defence to keep a clean sheet. There will inevitably be times where we fail to score but we need to at least look like we're capable of scoring in any game.

Tbf we looked capable of scoring v Stoke so I'm not too worried about away games and scoring. It's just our tactics and personnel at home that fail us time and again.

I think it is going to be really tight for the 3rd spot. I think Leicester, Burnley, QPR, Villa, Albion, Sunderland and Palace are all in that fight. West Ham have bought some decent players and should be ok, Stoke I would include but Hughes seems to find a way somehow.

Almost impossible to say at this stage. We almost had 40 by the end of March last time so I went for end of March this time.
