Do you think we will finish in the top 6 this season?

[catfish]

I see no reason why we can't sneak 6th place.

 

[sams dad]

Yes, I think we will make the playoffs

 

[kevtherev]

I voted yes, because with the squad of players we have got and some of the points we have thrown away, I think we are possibly as low as we could be atm. Can see us losing many and surely these draws can be turned into wins. We just got to be a bit more attack minded and not so cautious.

 

[LowKarate]

Yes. I've seen enough of Ulloa for 70 minutes to know that he will make all the difference as both the target man and centre half that we so desperately need to push into the play-offs.

I am so certain we'll make it that I'll now be waging a few shekels with Victor Chandler.

 

[The Terminator]

If ulloa is consistent and plays as well as he did on his debut I'd say 6th.

If not I'd go for 7th

 

[The Brighton Buzz]

Yes if we can beat the teams above us. No if we lose to them and that is the problem we hav'nt beaten any of the top teams in the first half of the season

 

[Seasider78]

Can't see it unless we approach games more positively to turn draws into wins. Would love to be proved wrong and more than happy with progress on and off the pitch but will go for 8th this season

 

[Baaaald]

I just don't think that we can be consistent enough to get into the top 6. I so hope I'm wrong but just can't see it.

 

[Seaford by the sea]

It's hard to see any of the top six slipping up, but i do genuinely believe we are capable of putting a really good run of results together that will see us into the top 6.

I've already had an argument with the wife after she suggested booking a holiday that co-incided with the playoff final

Have to disagree with above, Palace have won 1 in 8, Hull are not in great form and Boro's team looks flimsy to me. Cardiff & Leicester should fill the top 2 places. Watford have just lost so hopefully that's the start of their bad run (although cant see it). Like most have said, depends on getting a defender in and how well Ulloa does, but I am firmly in the YES camp.

 

[Hugo Rune]

It's a yes from me. I think Mr Ulloa will prove more powerful and successful than any 'no' voter could dare imagine, I can see him replicating the Roberts-Reading effect of last season that Gus is always banging on about. We've so much attacking flair and talent hoping for a place in the team/squad. Would any of these players make anyone's starting 11: JFC, Vicente, Hoskins, Dobbie, Lua Lua? I believe those players are all potential match winners and have it in them to make the difference between a play-off place or a mid table finish. Someone will drag us up like Dobbie did with Blackpool, some player will take responsibility, find that magic form and become a legend. Play-Offs here we come baby!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Not sure , but it will be fun if we have a good go at it. Will be more convinced if we sign VvD

 

[PHCgull]

reluctantly voted no.

I may be in a minority of one, but i didnt think Ulloa's touch was all that on saturday. Sure he had a good game, and got in the right place for his goal. But I didnt see the ball sticking to him like it used to with a certain northern mardy judas...

But then I thought the scotch pies were gash and everyone else on here seems to like the concept of a burger in a pie crust....

Top six odds
Cardiff 1/250
Leicester 1/33
Hull 1/5
Watford 2/5
Palace 1/2
Boro 1/2
Brighton 5/2
Dirty L**ds 4/1
Forest 9/2
5/1 bar

I'd have us around 15/8 so 5/2 represents a modicum of value IMHO.
I'd be looking to fill the satchels laying Hull at fives ON.

[jimhigham]

I think I predicted 8th at the start of the season and it will probably be around there. Poor Ulloa. So much pressure on him to perform but if he is up to scratch it could make all the difference. We seem to genuinely be a couple of players away from being serious contenders.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Yes I do now !

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

8th is fair for the quality of the squad we had before Ulloa. A lot depends on how he performs.

 

[Rugrat]

Highly optimistic ...but yes!

Is far more an indicator, than the biased straw poll results of fans of a club outside the top 6.

Gus and the team must have total focus now on 9 points from the next 3 games, making the away game at mega spending Cardiff not crucial.

A quality centre back to partner El Abd would help.

We need Millwall to beat Hull at home this weekend, and for us to beat Wednesday

Then our home game v Hull the following week becomes even more MASSIVE, and we can reel them in to within 2 points with another win.
