GWN Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I’m desperate not to get excited , 9th I was expecting now I’d be annoyed if we missed out on 7th. I dare not think of anything yet , this is NUFC remember. Is there genuinely anyone who thinks we can do top 4 this season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think European qualification of any form, even if it’s conference League via 7th place, represents an excellent season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyc35i Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Will be interesting to see where we get to by the end of January. We have some winnable home games, but some typically difficult away matches for us. The home games you’d have to say are must win if we want to stay around fourth come February. It’s going to be an interesting period with the transfer window and the two cups games thrown in as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 We've only conceded 3 goals in the first half of our 18 games in all competitions, most recent being Neves away to Wolves in August. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I've just looked at the fixtures. Arsenal got to go to Brighton this Saturday evening and get something coz I tell you what, if they don't, that game at the Emirates against us is going to be even more crackers.

Nine Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 (edited) Glad to see us start off with a comfortable away win in what could have been a tough game on another day, the WC break looks like it has benefited us so far.

Optimistic Nut Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 60 points target. We need at home 6 more wins & no more draws (18 points to go). We need away from home 3 more wins & 0 more draws (9 points to go). We can now afford to lose the Everton away game to keep us on track for 60. Points in brackets is what we're tracking for based on results pre-season. 'points required' is what it will take to reach 60 between now and the end of the season. Nottingham Forest (H)- 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 60 points) Brighton (A) - 0 points required - 1 point won (On track for 61 points) Manchester City (H) - 0 points required - 1 point won (On track for 62 points) Wolves (A) - 0 points required - 1 point won (On track for 62 points) Liverpool (A) - 0 points required - 0 points won (On track for 62 points) Crystal Palace (H) - 3 points required - 1 point won (On track for 60 points) Bournemouth (H) - 3 points required - 1 point won (On track for 58 points) Fulham (A) - 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 58 points) Brentford (H) - 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 58 points) Manchester United (A) - 0 points required - 1 point won (On track for 59 points) Everton (H) - 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 59 points) Spurs (A) - 0 points required - 3 points won (On track for 62 points) Aston Villa (H) - 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 62 points) Southampton (A) - 3 points required - 3 points won (On track for 62 points) Chelsea (H) - 0 points required - 3 points won (On track for 65 points) Leicester (A) - 0 points required - 3 points won (On track for 68 points) Leeds (H) - 3 points required Arsenal (A) - 0 points required Fulham (H) - 3 points required Crystal Palace (A) - 0 points required (originally 1 point required) West Ham (H) - 0 points required (originally 3 point) Bournemouth (A) - 3 points required Liverpool (H) - 0 points required Brighton (H) - 3 points required Man City (A) - 0 points required Wolves (H) - 3 points required Nottingham Forest (A) - 3 points required Manchester United (H) - 0 points required (originally 1 point required) Brentford (A) - 0 points required (originally 1 point required) Aston Villa (A) - 0 points required (originally 3) Spurs (H) - 0 points required Everton (A) - 0 points required (was 3 points) Southampton (H) - 3 points required Arsenal (H) - 0 points required Leeds (A) - 3 points required Leicester (H) - 3 points required (was 1 point) Chelsea (A) - 0 points required West Ham (A) - 0 points required Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The last few 7th place finishes look like this. Something would have to go very wrong for us to end up losing as many games as these teams. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 If teams win their games in hand it's 6 points above Chelsea. We should get top 6 now but only takes a little blip and we're caught. 7th still a really good season for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Man Utd and Chelsea are on 0 GD, very unlikely they’ll break the top 4 playing like they are. We’re on 21, we’re legitimately just a better side than them. Comfortably. It will likely be a contest between us, Spurs and Liverpool. Spurs are an annoyingly spawny side.
