Decky Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Next 3 games are tough no doubt about it but if its disappointing for us we've a chance to make it right straight away by beating Spurs right after the 3 games. I'd take 5 points from the 3 and then a win vs Spurs right now but we could easily do better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still don't think Chelsea are winning the Champions League this season nor are Man Utd winning the Europa either I wouldn't say. It didn't take too long, got lucky with my first page search of around 60 and worked from there - came across this fascinating looking thread as well on my first page search Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Just seen that after this run in we've only 3 away games for the rest of the season too. 5 home games. If we get two wins in the next 3 I'd be very confident of top 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yeah, 5 points would be great. It would mean 2 more draws, but draws against the likes of City at home, Arsenal and Man Utd away, Brighton away, and one or two others are very much points gained, and if we were to draw at 2 of Villa, West Ham, and Brentford, and win the other, the same would apply there. At home to any of those sides would generally be considered 2 points dropped pre match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 I'm the most confident I've been all season that we'll do it. Yesterday was a must win game against a side who are now a top 4 rival at home and we won comfortably and should've scored more. Tottenham have been awful all season and yesterday has made me think we'll do the same to them when they come up here. If Spurs fail to win tonight, Liverpool fail to win at Chelsea on Tuesday and we beat West Ham I'll be thinking that it's a cert. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of football to be played before that game. I'm not saying it's going to happen but if we didnt win any of our three away games the picture would look a lot different. Hopefully Everton beat Spurs tonight because that'd be class for us with Spurs having two home games after it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Yeah, it would be surprising / disappointing if we only lost 3 games in 27 up until now, and then lost 3 in a row. I'm sure it won't happen, but individually we can very much lose each of the next 3, even something like 2 draws and a loss is not that unfeasible, but would obviously be a very poor return, and hopefully we get at least 4 points. I'm just going to take each game as it comes, and continue to hope that the others around us drop points to make the task easier for us. We are in a great position - not sure I've seen us as short as 1/2 before, but I'm still in the mindset of being 'fine with 6th' for this season. The results have gone fantastic for us these past 3 weeks or so since the Wolves match - we have taken 9 points (from 3 games), Man Utd 1 (from 2), Spurs 4 (from 2, play tonight), Liverpool 0 (from 2), Brighton 5 (from 3), Brentford 5 (from 4), so we have gained on all of them, significantly in some cases, but that also shows that things can change quite quickly. Man Utd have gone from being supposedly in the title race to possibly outside the top 4 tonight in a few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I've been discussing with some friends about how good our season has been, and to compare had a brief review of our 96/97 season. That season this was what we finished on: P38 W19 D11 L8 GF 73 GA 40 GD 33 By comparison, this season, to date we have the following record: P24 W10 D11 L3 GF 35 GA 17 GD 18 Looking at our remaining fixtures from what is certainly an (overly) optimistic point of view, I think there are 9 games that should be earmarked as entirely winnable: Wolves (h) Nottingham Forest (a) West Ham (a) Brentford (a) Aston Villa (a) Everton (a) Southampton (h) Leeds United(a) Leicester City (h) Doing so would see us emulate that season, if not exceed it. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think we will (for reference I see us potentially getting 24 points maximum) but even so, this has been a very admirable season thus far and can continue to be. It shows the gulf in class from the top sides compared to the rest of the division when comparing that season to this too. For example the 73 points that we obtained that season would probably see us finish 4th or 5th this season I suspect. Anyways, just waffling, but think we should be incredibly pleased thus far and hopeful that we can see out a really progressive season. Folk on social media seem fairly downbeat from what I've seen but based on the above there is no reason to be. Wolves (h) ✅️ Nottingham Forest (a) ✅️ --------------- ManUre ✅️ --------------- West Ham (a) Brentford (a) Aston Villa (a) Everton (a) Southampton (h) Leeds United(a) Leicester City (h) 1 ahead so far. This could well end up our most successful season ever in the PL, points wise...every game is vital. However, I'm 90% certain we'll get top 4 now.
