[Albion] Could we finish 8th?

[Mellotron]

That we’re even asking the question in mid-January is pretty refreshing.

Top 10 would be stunning, actually, anything above 13th would be wonderful.

I can’t help thinking that some goal scoring talent will need to be signed in the next two weeks if we’re serious about 8th though.

10th spot would usually require more than 50 points. This means that we need to beat the tracker by at least 7 points in the second half.

48 in 2014/15 (Palarse)
50 in 2015/16 (Chelsea)
45 in 2016/17 (West Bromwich)
44 points in 2017/18 (Newcastle -8 gd), but over 50 (and climbing) since then.

Top half would be an amazing achievement., top 8 is very doable if squad stays fit

We WILL be in Europe. Ive already dreamt an away match in France 10,000 Albion fans and a win. Happy days. Yes we could finish 8th but 7th is not unobtainable.

Be great to finish 8th but I suspect with several difficult games coming up against Utd & spurs we will finish 12th which would still be a massive improvement.

What would need to change for us to feel more confident about an 8th place finish? Is it as simple as "we need to convert more opportunities" or is there more to it? Feels like we are so close to being a genuine top half side this season.

We are going up say we are going up!
