If we finish 6th I won’t give a toss about inconsistencies or this defeat

If we continue to be inconsistent then we ain't coming sixth. We'll be somewhere around where we were last season.

[LukeJames]

The Watkins/Ings combination is a bit of a worry. In fact, I cant remember us creating a chance for Ings in open play since we brought him.

What you on about everyone’s just been saying you can be inconsistent and still finish in top 6
So I’m going with it

West ham finished 6th losing 11 games last season,  Leicester finished 5th losing 12, spurs finished 7th losing 12. Thats nearly a 3rd of all their games and reasonably inconsistent.

See there you go
6th it is then

I love Dean, but I do get a bit concerned that when we're clearly playing poorly, he frequently doesn't seem to know what to do.

The best managers are proactive, not reactive.

[PaulWinch again]

Disappointing really - Dean still needs to be better when things are going against us. Hopefully though Ollie getting a goal will get him firing again.

However if before Chelsea, Everton, Manure, and Spurs you’d offered me 6 points I’d have taken it. It’s still a good return.

[SoccerHQ]

Drawing games is the devil, nearly as bad as playing 5-3-2. Where top 6 dreams go and die with 1-1s v Brentford.

2009/10 - won 17, drew 13, lost 8 = 6th
2008/09 - won 17, drew 11, lost 10 = 6th
2007/08 - won 16, drew 12, lost 10 = 6th

Consistently losing 25% and winning less than 50%, while drawing around 33% still gets you 6th.

If you're consistent then you win the league.

Well, we won 16 and lost 15 last season and came 11th.

Anyway, any team can have an off day but what matters is how we react. If we beat Wolves next time out then we'll be looking up again.

Yeah - that's my worry - don't seem to be playing to his strength.  Our play in the final 3rd has been pretty poor at times

Looking up to a top 6 finish is what I’m lumping everything on
