are we going to push for promotion ?

 

[Dick Head]

Perhaps.

 

[W.C.]

I don't know.

However, I do like where we are right now. Bit of form and right in the chasing pack, putting pressure on the top 6.

With the injury list clearing up too I'm in a good frame of mind.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I think the best way to look at this is by considering whether or not you are going to push for promotion. Personally, I'm not, but you may be younger and more ambitious.

 

[somerset]

If we get through the next two games without either losing or getting any further injuries, I will start to believe......Leicester game will be the real test of our credentials.

 

[wehatepalace]

No, possibly, maybe, yes, definately.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

9/1 with Paddy Power.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

When he was appointed, I felt that OG would achieve more than his predecessor. I trusted his pedigree and I trusted TB's judgement. I expected us to be in contention this season. It wasn't rocket science to expect us to start slowly, whilst we got up to speed with the new manager's system.
What I didn't legislate for was an awful run of injuries, especially to key players. Has OG bemoaned his lot? No. He's just gone quietly about his job, organising and instilling belief into the available players. Almost ahead of schedule we are putting a run together and now beating decent teams like Wigan. Even when we were struggling, we went to QPR ( still the only team to take anything from Loftus Road ) and Reading and got draws. We are the only team to beat Burnley this season.
We have a host of decent players to come back ( at least four in attacking positions ) What is there not to be optimistic about? There may be too much ground to make up on the top three, who seem to be very consistent. They are already 7 points clear of 4th but never say never.
Its not difficult to think we are going to have a better 2nd half of the season than first and to me, that says play-offs at worst. I am oozing with optimism.

 

[Creaky]

are we going to push for promotion ?

I jolly well hope so - whether it will be a realistic aim or not only time will tell - to give in with just 16 games played would be just a little defeatist!

 

[melias shoes]

That's the general idea.

 

[KZNSeagull]

What does push for promotion mean?

We play each game and win as many of them as possible - maybe we will get promoted, maybe we won't.

If we are not pushing for promotion, if we get close to promotion, does that mean we lose games on purpose?

 

[Mackenzie]

I think so.

 

[Commander]

Let's come back to this thread at various points throughout the season when we've lost a couple of games in a row. Let's not forget that a few games ago some people were questioning whether Oscar was the right man for the job because he didn't shout enough.

Does any team try to avoid getting promoted then? Isn't that always the aim?

I bet palace wish they had.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I think it'll be up and down, few wins when everyone is over-the-top optimistic, like they are now, and a few losses where everyone gets over-the-top pessimistic, like they were a couple of weeks back. Still think mid-table, but won't rule out a late surge.

IF we're within touching distance of the playoffs when Big Leo returns, the 2nd half of this season could be VERY exciting indeed.
