You've asked me this question when the sun's shining. If we don't overly defend one goal leads, and also we play players in their right positions, the I reckon we could even be 3rd or 4th pushing the top two. I have lost some confidence in Bows to do this however so maybe another day you'd get another answer from me, because if he continues with inexplicable decisions we could finish 8th-10th.
Ive said no, I think after the madness pre season this was always going to be a rebuild year. With the late cobbled together squad I’m happy to not be relegated. If I’m wrong I’d be “ over the moon”
It’s going to be a tight call given the points return over the last dozen or so games but there’s still lots of football left and my glass is still over half full. COYRs
5/2 for top 6 seems generous but bookies are not known for that trait and are right more than wrong. it might be wishful thinking but we really should make top 6
How many weeks ago was it that people were seriously talking about top two. Now we need new players, luck and a very good run to get top six. It’s possible but I don’t think we’ll get there.
I think we'll make top 6 but only because the standard of the league is poor and I'm hoping Innis and Famewo come back to play the majority of the remaining games
Will be close but our form is all over the place this year when I think from now on in you need to be consistent in picking up points even when you play badly. Our goal difference is by far the worst out of the current top 6, even though we've played as many as 3 games more and this might be the deciding factor come May.
I believe we will, as long as key players, particularly the centre half pair, are available for the vast majority of games and one or two good players arrive before the transfer window closes. We won’t finish as high as 2 seasons ago though and I suspect we will lose in the semi finals.
Season is a long long way from over though, the worry is though Bows does not seem to know quite what is at the root of our issues. Maybe it is as simple as missing Innis and Famewo.
No. Sadly. Too inconsistent and no real idea of what our best 11 or system is. Some players not as good as they or we think they are. We might get close but no cigar I suspect.
Yes for me. We are in the top 6 at half way and only 6 points off the autos. And we’ve had a terrible run since Innis and Famewo have been out. Even if the second half of the season is as “bad” as the first, we still make the play offs.

Poor defence. Paper thin midfield. One proven striker who rarely plays 90 minutes. Too many injuries.

Doesn't matter if we get the "big two" back or not, we still don't create enough chances or put away the ones we do create. I reckon we'll finish 8th.
