Top 6

Post by fred »

Would anyone not be chuffed about us reaching the play-offs?
Anyone really believe we have a realistic chance of automatic Promotion?
6th place and I for one would be more than pleased.

We have a shot at auto, outside shot but a shot none the less.
I'd expect a top 8 finish now and that makes it likelier we get into the playoffs for me.

Barring an exceptional transfer window, which I can't see, then I don't think we've a chance of top 2. As it stands 8th is about right, top 6 with a couple of decent quality signings. We'll know more by the end of February, some difficult games between now and then.

Looks like we have signed a LB so that's a good start for second half of our season

If we strengthen in other positions we are certainly in with a shout for the play-offs, if not I fear we could miss out on the play-offs. Also it's imperative to any forth-coming success that the likes of Pontus, Saiz, Vieira & Hernandez remain free from injuries.

Of course I would be pleased if we reached the play-offs. I'd be over the moon if we pinched an automatic place :-D

If we have signed a left back it's a bit harsh on Beradi but as he said himself he's not a left back. Decent option off the bench one would hope

GB should be right back with the wandering Ayling as a decent(ish) option off the bench for RB or CB

Hope for promotion, don't actually want it :)

I think we can be a top 6 side.

But we are to inconsistent with to weak a squad for top 2 atm.

4 or 5 players away from top 2 imo.

Not sure that's the case. Think the reality is that he does not trust our alternatives at Full Back and as such Ayling has to play. At this stage if there are any alternatives I'd love to hear them :-D

being positive, I feel a playoff place is there for the taking.
we've had a bad (very bad?) run whereas i don't feel the other teams have had that - and we're still in touch.
what we can't seem to do though is draw a game, we either win or lose!
the good teams will settle for a draw and at the end of the season one point might be all that matters.

Apart from Wolves still don't see anyone out there who is significantly better than us on our day. What TC and the squad need to be doing is making sure we have more of "our days" and less of those Brum style performances. Top 6 certainly on for me and 2nd not beyond us.

After the Newport game I would be more than pleased with a play-off place...must have seen it coming.
