Would you be happy with 7th, now?

[Stat Brother]

Here it is:-

Would you consider a 7th place finish as a failure?

 

[narly101]

Most definitely. I'd be delighted with 7th. Higher and I'd be made for the season.

 

[JOLovegrove]

If we finished 7th, I would be gutted. It is completely in our hands, and lets be honest, we have an easy run in compare to most teams. Yes we would finish higher then last year, but Gus knows this is the season to get in.

 

[Napper]

7th from here would mean the wheels coming off for a 2nd season running. Would be pissed off

 

[birthofanorange]

No, not now I wouldn't. To be honest, I'd rather finish 9th than 7th, as I would hate to finish within touching distance of the play offs. Everyone (me included) would be bemoaning the points dropped here there and everywhere....as well as lame shots not being saved......

 

[Steve.S]

There are 21 more points to play for. So still a long way to go. I like to take each game as it comes and not make wild predictions based on where we are today or where we were a month ago. The play offs look likely today, this time next week we could be in 7th or 4th. Bolton or Middlesborough could be back in the mix. Derby look in form. Any team down to 10th are in with a chance. I think Birmingham have to much to do.

 

[B.W.]

I can't believe the unambitious here. 7th would be under-achieving. Top 6 on target. Auto exceeding expectations. Happy with on target.

 

[grummitts gloves]

At the beginning of the season I wanted 7th. But whilst the top teams are doing their best to force us into the playoffs, I'd be gutted to drop out of the top 6 now. Hopefully the players can see the Gods are doing their bit to help us and can capitalise on at least maximum points for the next 2 games.

7th would be fine this league is good, if we went up I would be shocked if we stayed up!

I reckon we would have to spend about 30 million to stay up,which we would have

Absolutely. This time last year we had two more points and were in 4th place. We didn't win another game and ended up 10th. I don't think we will fade like that again but let's take one game at a time and not get too ahead of ourselves.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

We've got the fourth best Goal Difference in this league. It would be crazy to think that a 7th place finish was OK.

 

[clippedgull]

I'd be happy with 7th if Palace were in 8th

 

[Stevie Boy]

would have taken 7th at the beginning of the season, now would be absoluety gutted if we finished there now

 

[Sussex Nomad]

It's down to the lads now, no one else. The next two games are as big as any games in recent times. Time to push on and take advantage.

Possibly the biggest games in 34 years.
Human nature to expect top six now, so yes I'd be somewhat disappointed if we didn't do it.

 

[Max Paper]

Agree with this. If we blow play offs now I'd be gutted. GUTTED.

 

[Icy Gull]

I admit to thinking that we may have blown it a few weeks ago, now I'll be pretty pissed if we don't make the playoffs. Keeping Ulloa fit is the key, otherwise it's gonna be tough to stay in contention.

 

[Sam-]

I think most supporters would argue that we have performed below what we should have this season in terms of results. We've done okay but had been kind of cruising along, winning one then drawing a few and the odd loss.
Then I since the hull game I think, we have started to pick up more points, beat some good teams and show play-off potential.

This could explain peoples change in opinion regarding 7th. Would have been acceptable earlier in the season as we hadn't really done much. However, now we've been given some good results our expectations, quite rightly in my opinion, will have changed accordingly.

Keep it one game at a time, any points against Charlton increases the gap to Leicester. Then draw or win against Leicester and we maintain the gap or improve it.
Look after our own results and others will struggle.

I think we can't predict anything still and a couple of dud games and were out the playoffs.

 

[Stat Brother]

7th would be fine this league is good, if we went up I would be shocked if we stayed up!

You seem to think getting out of this league is easily than staying in the next.

I see it completely opposite.

Sure a promoted team is likely to go straight back down, but that horrible 4th from bottom cliche is peppered with the same teams, year in year out, and I'd have every confidence in us having the beating of at least 8 teams.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Only if Palace finish 8th or lower

 

[Smithy]

Would Tony Bloom be happy with 7th? Pretty sure he wouldn't.
