The target for play off spot this season will be 78 or 79 points. We can only get a maximum of 78 points. Zero per cent chance. Let's concentrate on finishing well, keeping this team together but with a few additions and making a strong challenge next season.
We aren't getting a sniff of the play offs this year. People can dream, but it wont happen. I'll still be happy with a top half finish after the way the middle of the season went. I just hope that we properly build on what we have in the summer then maybe next season there will be a realistic chance of sneaking in the top six IF we manage to replace the out of contract players/loanees.
If results go our way over the next 2 games and we win both of them... with 8 games to go we could be 9 points off the play offs! I like the sound of that!
we have three players recently recruited playing for new deals. Plus Bulot and Buyens are in their prime and playing for new deals with us or elsewhere.
Honestly it's a complete laugh to contemplate finishing anywhere above ninth simply because of the gap to the top 8. But until it's impossible you can't rule it out - let's see where we are in April.
Interesting to now know that the original points target was 62 this season. Perhaps they set it at 75 next time and resource the club accordingly. I don't think the gap is that big.
as others have said, it seems very unlikely because as well as winning most of our games we need 3 or 4 good teams to go on a bad run and 2 or 3 more to not go on a good run. I think after two games (we'd have to win them both) we'll see whether we have a realistic shout or not.
If Ipswich, Brentford and Wolves can lose their next couple of games that'd be nice.
