If we hit the ground running, string some results together anything is possible.
We need consistency though to claw the gaps back.
Watford result was a welcome bonus and shows just how unpredictable this League is.
 
We would need roughly 1.85 points per game to get out points which normally gets atop six slot.
That's a tall order.....more than we have achieved to date
 
It's certainly doable, all it takes is 2-3 results going against the teams above us and a couple of wins from us to be in the driving seat.

I'm just going to try and enjoy the ride though.
 
I think Watford are catchable. Haven’t been impressed when I’ve seen them. Also think Bournemouth aren’t very consistent
 
I said before the season that I didn't think Bournemouth would make the play offs, and I'm still of the same opinion. I think Tindall's inexperience as a gaffer will start to show, and getting Woodgate on board won't help him either!

We've got every chance, we just need to become a bit luckier with injuries. To me, our defence still looks very light. We're really relying on McNair and Fry being fit enough to play every game for me, as I was unconvinced by the Hall signing and don't rate him from what I've seen of him in his career. If we can consistently have Dijksteel - Fry - McNair - Bola as the back 4, I'm confident.

Really impressed with our signings though, and they will definitely give us a chance of creating and scoring more, which has been our downfall.

I'm just really relieved at the moment that last season seems a million miles away :D
 
We’re due a couple of dodgy decisions and it’s uplifting to see NW smiling like a Cheshire cat again . I have a feeling the stars are lining themselves up for us and guess who’ll probably surprise everybody all of a sudden ................Britt !
 
I maintained before the recent signings that we would be around the top 6 and I haven't changed my mind.

We have had some awful decisions and been unlucky with injuries and we are still very close to the top 6. With a tad more luck in running we would be top 6 now.

Not sure we have the number of games left to make a push for top 2, but it would be nice, wouldn't it.
 
Yes, obviously our players need to hit some form though very happy with the additions, a Gabriele Batistuta (52 now!?!) clone on a free would have been welcome.. though 3 creative, with pace & presence, wingers are very welcome as is a no nonsense right back.

I can see, (hope) both Watford & Bournemouth faltering... Deeney is key for Watford... Bournemouth have brought in - whole hearted - Shane Long & glass ankles Wiltshire... I don't see them being enough..

I really hope I'm wrong, but I don't see us troubling the play offs.
If we do then Warnock will have done incredibly well.

I'd be more confident if we had got rid of Assombolonga and brought in a real striker.
 
I really hope so but I am a bit worried about relying on the new forward players.
Fisher looks a good signing but the other 3 have something to prove.
Bolasie has played little football and didn't look fit on Saturday
Kenabo has only played 28 league games in the last 3 years
Mendez Laing left Cardiff in dubious circumstances and hasn't played/trained this season. So we can't expect too much of them for a few games
Come on lads prove me wrong go and score a hat full of goals and get us promoted
 
We'd be in the play-offs right now if we hadn't been robbed against Blackburn, and that didn't require new signings to flip the result.

That's not even getting in to the shambles against Rotherham.

Click to expand...

I know it's just one game but that Blackburn match is still annoying given we should really already be in the top 6 (granted Bournemouth have a game in hand) if not for gross incompetence from the ref.

Fine margins.

I think it all depends how quickly the new lads get up to speed and a bit more luck, particularly with injuries.
