6th (at best) this year so no. Some of these lads are dead on their feet. We're relying the on the same players to be great twice a week, every week. Think we'll get about 60 points.

No. Don't deserve to either. We've looked mid table this season. Poor summer recruitment and no rush in January to fill any gaps.

Aim for the Europa, no shame in that. We're doing better than Newcastle did when they were thrown into the CL. I'd like to be pulling up a few more trees but you also have to be fair and realistic.

Yep, the recruitment looks to be worse by the week. Whether forces or not.

Terrible summer business but as Unai said tonight, “it’s a process”

Fail to make CL and you've got Kamara, Watkins, Martínez' etc. agents (probably Rogers' too, the cheeky upstart) touting their clients to teams in Big Cup next season. We don't want another summer of unrest.
I still haven't recovered from Joachim, Ehiougu and Southgate all wanting out in June 2000.

Doesn't feel like it at the moment. Nowhere near consistent enough and injuries racking up. All we can do is try and not let the gap get too big and hope we go on a run.

If we qualified now i think it would be  a bigger achievement  than last season.

We look miles off it performance wise, even though we're surprisingly close on points. Can't see it.

Then we will likely have to sell someone we don't want to.

We have collected 8 points from last 4 League games just keep that up.

We’ve yet to go on a run this season, so there’s still a bit of life in us - just - but think the Celtic game is key.

We desperately need some respite from the Weds-weekend-Weds treadmill, and that means Chump’s League. So those two skipped games that a win over Celtic should bring could prove very important.

We have collected 8 points from last 4 League games if we keep that ratio  for the rest of the season we will have 71 points more than good enough for 4th and easily 5th.

We aren't playing Leicester, Everton, West Ham and Arsenal every 4 weeks...

I think those two extra games i think will determine  how our season goea. If we avoid those two games we get a well earned rest and can take the fa cup more seriously

If we play those two extra games more fatigue and fa cup sacrificed.

We really have to win Wednesday  night and hope one or two results  go our way

Highly unlikely unless something changes dramatically and if we did, without significant investment we’d struggle again.
