Will have to improve on scoring ONCE in the last seven games to achieve that... It's doable if we can start sticking the chances away but aint seeing signs of that ATM

I'd be delighted/surprised with any one of the following:
A win
A point
A goal
It doesn't look pretty......

The problem with that is looking at the table now and seeing Wolves.
Obviously, despite not saying it at the time, (instead choosing to praise GPott to the hilt) the narrative has become we were in a false position then, because of budgets.
It'll still feel like a 'what might have been' season.
Yes 11th would be great and by every single metric an amazing success, but unless improved on next season, there will always be a 'that was the best it was ever going to be - and the club blew it' lingering doubt.

11th would be a successful season, but wont happen. Cant really see where another win is going to come from. Top 10 is something that is becoming so difficult to achieve. City, Chelsea, Liverpool, United, Spurs, and Arsenal are guaranteed to be top 10 even if they have a poor season. That leaves the likes of West Ham, Wolves, Leicester, Villa, and next seasons Newcastle fighting it out for the remaining spots. Usually you'd also have Everton in that mix as well. Those are all teams that massively outrank us in terms of spending power. For teams like us, Southampton & Palace a top 10 finish will now only happen if you have an exceptional season and 3 or more of the previously mentioned teams spend badly and underperform. Its getting to the point where all it would take is one more club to get a new mega rich owner and top 10 is basically impossible.
In a parallel universe, we don't sell Ben White in the last Summer and things would have looked very different. Every time I see him charging around for Arsenal or England, I feel sad that we only got one season out of him (and that was behind closed doors).

I am not sure what warrants a good season now after this abomination of a second half of the season, but i do know that it's the second season in a row where I can't wait for it to end, and I'm not sure that's how it should be really

11th would be a great season.
12th would be a great season.
13th would equal our highest ever league finish so would also have to be considered as a great season.
But we need the smiles back on the Amex faces as well. So the final total needs to contain a decent points haul from the home games vs Southampton, Man Utd and West Ham.

We won't finish anything like 11th, nor be above either of those two in the table.
Come to think about it we won't finish above very many at all in the table.

Adam Webster is our "new" Ben White and we have missed him terribly in his long injury absence. He gives us far more options at the back and is the only player capable of bringing the ball out of defence.
Potter says he is very close to resuming training after his latest setback, let's hope he might be back for Arsenal next week.

It’s a shame Webster was out for so many of the games we were perhaps favourites for. His defending is roughly equivalent to other options (not that we have many these days after selling Burn) but on the ball he is head and shoulders above the likes of Duffy and more positive/progressive than the tidy Veltman. I think he’d have made a bigger difference in those recent games than the next few.

Three or four points out of that lot, if we are lucky, I reckon.
