Those six games are still tough games largely (apart from Luton and Chelsea ).With a game a week and several significant breaks through the season I think we may very well blow early expectations out of the water.
Once we get past Liverpool this week we are staring into 6 very winnable fixtures.
Luton (A)
Fulham (H)
Palace (A)
Chelsea (H)
Wolves (A)
Villa (H)
Playing the way we are, with even luck we should be looking for 14-15 points out of that. Grab a point of better this weekend and we are going to be 30 points or thereabouts at the end of November after 13 games. That's closer to title challenging form than top 4 form.
I'd be gutted if we finish worse than 4th now.
The sky is actually not the limitWe ain't finishing 7th this season.
Top 4 minimum.
Sky's the limit.
The Race For 8th?When do we change the title of this to you know what?
After 7 games last season we also had 17 points.
Had also scored 18 compared to 17 this season, and conceded 7 compared to 8 this season.
But when you take the comparative fixtures (replacing Burnley with Leicester & Sheff Utd with Leeds)
13 scored (4 fewer), 19 conceded (11 more) and 8 points (9 fewer).
So we are 9 points and 15 goal difference better off than the 'same' fixtures last season.
His team is only in 3rd! Losers!All without that Munich fella.
