our home form is not that great. don't rely on that, winning at home is actually rare.
Of course - but I reckon the time for gloom and doom is if we lose those two matches, not now.

I wouldn't bet on it.
We need to steady the ship a bit and take one step at a time.

Not this season.
Hopefully with the management team in place for a full pre season & some good quality signings we will really push on & go for it next season.

Nope, but I can think of many worse situations to be in.
I'd have to say No, but....
This time last season we were 7th on 42 points, 5 points behind 6th place
We had great form in the last 18 games, W-9 D-6 L-3, and finished 4th, 9 points ahead of 6th place!
So to me it doesn't look quite so bad on paper, it's just where other teams have strengthened we have gone the other way, or at best stood still so realistically we simply aren't good enough to challenge for top 6.
As has been said I expect a clear out in the summer of some dead wood (Greer & Spanish David esp) and then another season of consolidation as the new squad & Oscar's 'style' finally beds in.

After the summer we had, a new manager to bed in and the relative financial clout we seem to have vs the likes of Leicester, qpr, forest, reading etc I thought "par" for us would be 10th this year. I still think this now, if anything we look a bit weaker with bridders and Barnes gone and crofts out for the season. My main hope is that we finish the season well with buckers and CmS fit and firing (and keep them over the summer) so we go in to next season with a bit of momentum this time...

No we wont...Loan players are such a gamble unless they are season long loans...They are not commit to the cause. We've missed the boat I'm afraid....But we got a prem stadium and will have a prem training ground, so its alright really.Keep coughing up top whack.

The odds are that we will not. However we can and there is a realistic chance because there are so many points to play for. We now need to hit a run of good home results with wins and the odd draw. The table will look a little different then for we are not that far behind. OK home form is patchy this year but that is past and margins are small. There is no reason why with luck we cannot achieve.
If Orlandi had slotted home in the last few minutes against Burnley things would be looking a little different now. We are not that far away.

no chance unless we start goals , we have only scored 3 goals in the last 6 league games , wont go anywhere until this is sorted
I think all this "no chance" stuff is nonsense, personally. Sure, it's unlikely but we were 6th only a month ago. Four straight wins might seem unlikely but it is do-able, and if we did that we'd be right back in the frame. The good news is that generally, we don't concede many. He might just make one or two tweaks to the side and find goals start to flow.
But nevertheless, I'll go for "highly unlikely".

I think we'll make the top ten, I just don't think we're enough of the finished article to make the top six... but miracles happen, as was proved by some other team...

Incredibly harsh about Greer who' s been brilliant for us ever since he signed. Now how long he and Upson can go on as a central pairing is another matter but to called him " dead wood" is totally unfair and just wrong.
Fair enough....
I'll take that. He has not been on his best form of late shall we say? Confidence has visibly drained from him and those around him of late but a good performance and win on Saturday might do everyone wonders. My posts do reflect frustration with our Captain but I will be 100% behind him and the team no question as I have no doubt he at least is doing his best.
