Its all ifs and buts .(or goals and points) . . but I am positive for a good 2nd half of the season and we will finish in the top 12 . . . if or but for . . .
Ideally as high as possible. The transformation in the team's confidence, attitude and performance from the Millwall debacle to the triumph over Ipswich is nothing short of astonishing. And, bear in mind, this is the same group of players that failed so miserably in the first half of the season.
Unfortunately I think we are too far adrift from a play-off spot, but if we can maintain a consistent momentum that will lead us to making a serious promotion challenge next season, then that's fine by me. I'll go for 10th place finish.
Get another decent striker in (I think Best is a good addition) and given the mediocrity of the teams in this division this year, we could just get lucky and sneak into the top ten.
Don't add another decent striker and 15th would represent a good finish.
Agreed. With big players returning, confidence rising and the ever increasing Hughton factor 10th comfortable. Add x 2 defenders, x2 midfielders and a natural goal scorer this summer,( step forward Adam le Fonde) and I would expect top 6 at the very least next season.
10th around 7/8 points off play off qualification, at which point Bloom and Barber will realise, if they hadn't already, that had they got rid of Hypia at the end of Oct early Nov, we could have made it a play off hat trick.
Hopefully the level of season ticket renewals will show a returning confidence for next season.
