kirkwdavis2001 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Is it 6th for Europe this season? Do we have a good chance? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LesPaul Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Let's just concentrate on staying up first. We're still a newly promoted team, let's not get carried away just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirkwdavis2001 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Why? We're 7th with a game in hand and only seven points off 6th place, that's why Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Had we not have dropped the four points, relegation would be forgotten about and we'd be two points behind sixth place (argh). There'd probably be grounds for this thread. I think it's a pipe dream atm though - even if seventh place accommodates European qualification.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Yes and no. Could be 7th if Arsenal win Carling Cup and two top 6 sides meet in the FA Cup Final. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We are on course to survive this year. That was the only goal for this season. It'll do for now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm sure we've all entertained the thought... But it feels wrong to talk about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I don't think it's totally ridiculous, given that seventh could well be a European place and we're in seventh. I agree that consolidation of our status is still priority, though. But a good run and it's not impossible. I doubt anyone envisaged us getting into Europe during Souness' last season.

Disco Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 FWIW Europe would cripple our squad, we can barely cope with league games nevermind 8 more games pre-christmas (if we got into group stages). Not that I think it'll happen. Concentrate on safety first and then we can start looking up the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I don't know why this thread is being written off like. 7th well over halfway through the season and getting good results with players to come back. Not unrealistic at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Is there much financial gain from coming 6th/7th and qualifying for the Waffa? Like Disco says, if we didn't bulk out the squad, more fixtures would actually damage our domestic season. We can't afford to be next year's victim of "second season syndrome" (there's one every year) just cos we qualified for Europe. Assuming we do, obvs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 don't think this is that unrealistic - we're in 7th and that itself may be good enough. what's more we've done well in the past few games with 2 of our best players out and with Nolan, Shola not 100%. As things stand I could see liverpool, everton and bolton overtaking us, but if we took a bit of a gamble and spent money in this window i could see us cementing ourselves in this position.
