Displayname Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Having already faced City, Liverpool and Villa we can still get something I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
t00nt00n313 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I think 6th is definitely doable, gap between us and 5th is high though. We should aim for as high as we can, but realistically I can't see us getting 5th. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Great result tonight. Up to 7th, some favourable games left until the end of the season, players coming back from injury. I reckon we'll definitely finish in a European place now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Brilliant result and Brighton getting battered made it even better. Wouldn't have ever guessed we'd be 7th tonight but a bit of luck is well overdue. And thoroughly deserved the result tonight. Isak injury is a massive blow again, let's hope it's not a serious one. Need to pick up a few wins in the next 3 games and Europa League is a serious prospect again next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazzy Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If Luton hadn't just smashed Brighton I'd be looking up at 5th spot thinking we can snatch that sooner than later but Saturday suddenly just got alot harder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more confident of a win after that. No way Luton do that twice in a row, impossible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If we can take another 4 points or so out of the gap to Villa in these next 3 games we have a slim chance like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBG Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 More worried that Luton have closed the gap to 13 points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 If we had Tonali and even just 2 other players available at various points these last 3 months, I reckon we'd be where Villa are like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 7 points from the next 3 and a Europe chase is definitely on for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to be taking points from fixtures like the next 3 we have regardless, like. But aye. Just really want Europa League. Lightyears more prestigious than the Conference League, another path into the CL and a reasonable chance of winning the thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Big win today. With this one out of the way, we now have easier fixtures left compared to everyone else. Maybe we can grab another place or two. Main focus should now be the cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I mean this isn't last season and we aren't liverpool BUT they went from something like 9th and the finished 5th. It's not impossible but why not believe? Why not try? Do I think we will do it probably not but we already done some amazing things under this ownership so never count us out.

STM Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yep, top 7 for me is the target. Any form of Europe and I'd fancy us to actually win the trophy too. If we can get to Wembley in the FA cup, that will be a good season considering injuries. The key is Barnes and Wilson coming back and us not picking up top many other big injuries.

Nine Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Any form of European football next season after the circumstances we have found ourselves in is an achievement in itself at this point, and it’s possible. An ECL run could be a lot of fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoU Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Think the top 10 will be super tight. The top 3 should be locked, but after that anyone down to Chelsea could make CL with a good run. We are probably 50/50 to make top 7 and Europe, which would be an incredible achievement. Before the season I was expecting us to struggle a lot more, given Europe and squad depth, but Howe has really proven that last season was not a fluke.

NWMag Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Honestly, with us now being down to basically 1 game per week, you would expect the injuries to decrease and we will get players back. I can see us going on a really good run of form between now and the end of the season, who knows what will happen. the teams above us will all take points off each other too - top 5 is unlikely but not out of the question.

Decky Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Not sure what competition I'd rather be in. The CL is obviously the best competition and offers good money, but are we going to win it? Probably not, and it'll be more tough games midweek which I still don't think our squad will be strong enough for. I'd rather we didn't have a season like this one again with fatigue and injuries. The EL and Conference League though, we have a realistic chance of winning either and the opponents shouldn't be anything too difficult, certainly in the group stages. We could rotate massively for them, and the away trips and that would still be brilliant. Imagine us in the final of either of those next season? Magic.
