Next Few Games

Then anything we can get out of the 3 incredibly tough games afterwards is a bonus. Really feels like it could be huge if we can get a win.

Yeah I was (wishfully) thinking that too. If Brighton could take points off Chelsea tonight as well we could be in an incredible position after this gameweek.

This is just to strange. Last season at this time we were hoping for the team us to drop points in the relegation fight now we are hoping for teams around us to drop points for champions league.

It is just nice to go in to games not feeling many nerves. As we can trust our team to compete well.

I know it isn't the next few games but how many points do we think we get from the last 11 games.
My Prediction
Man City (H) - Draw
Ipswich (A) - Win
Man United (H) - Win
Villa (A) - Lose
Everton (H) - Win
Tottenham (A) - Draw
Brentford (H) - Win
Palace (A) - Lose
Leicester (H) - Win
West Ham (A) - Draw
Chelsea (H) - Draw

5 Wins, 4 Draws, 2 Losses.
19pts takes us to 67pts

Assuming 5th place is 67 pts then 19 from 11 is tough but achievable
If target is 70pts (likely gets you 4th) then 22 from 11 is very daunting
60 points, 12 points from 11 for Conference league, 3 wins 3 draws, should get there.

Or you could say one game at a time but no need to panic about current results from a really tough spell.

The opta stats reckon 64 will get 5th this season.
On my predictor I got 66 which was 5th.

59/60 will secure Europe of some kind

I trust your predictor Reds73.
Panic on the streets of Croydon, Derby, Sheffield, Leicestershire.

Four points from the four teams who beat us in the first half of the season. Could've been better but could definitely have been worse.

Our rivals have suffered defeats themselves which has softened the blow of our recent patchcy results. To come through the run of fixtures we've had, and remain 3rd is brilliant.

Definitely. And in terms of playing other Europe challenging teams we've probably got the easiest run-in.

To still be in third after a run of Liverpool Arsenal, Brighton and City at home with very difficult away games at Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Fulham is outstanding, yes we've needed some luck with other results but we've only conceded a solitary goal in those home games, taking 8 points is brilliant.

Hopefully get our away form back on track at Ipswich next week.

This weekend is a great opportunity for us to put more space between us and the chasing pack. If we can go out and do a job against Ipswich, are current closes rivals are playing each other.
Arsenal v Chelsea
Man city v Brighton.

Points are going to be lost somewhere are we must take advantage of it.
