Looking at the table, those draws v Brentford and Burnley are painful.

No point in looking backwards Matt.
I’m thinking win our two games in hand and I think we can move up to a giddy 7th. Ye ah!

I mean with 4 extra points we’d be up to 9th with 1-2 games in hand. Might mean if we beat Utd and won our game in hand (on them) we’d move above them up to 6th. But as Tomb says if we win our 2 games in hand then we’re up to 7th anyway. Even with the extra 4 points I doubt we’d have caught up to either Spuds or Villa come the end of the season, as I don’t see either side dropping 7/ 9 points respectively whilst us winning all of our games.
So overall maybe come the end of the season if we miss out completely on European football, we might look back at the draws and missed points. But ultimately I feel the highest we’ll finish this season is 6th/ 7th with or without those 4 extra points. Our fate is still entirely in our own hands.

Fuser we are exactly were we deserve to be we are absoloutely rubbish this season and poch looks as clueless as potter and lampard did with the squad at there disposal, i really exoected more under poch but we haven't improved at all, wev been dragged alone by Palmers G/ A stats.

The end of the season and I will give my judgement. I said between 6th-8th and hopefully a cup. There is a chance that could still happen.
03 Apr 2024 14:44:07
Indeed there is but this side shows no signs of been mature or shrewd enough to lift trophies.

Poch, let be clear, I said there is a “chance. ”
My expectations were a lot lower than some on this site for this season. I obviously would have hoped for more but my guess is it will match my expectations.

Poch I never said we’re not where we deserve to be? All I said was the extra 4 points from the draws with Burnley and Brentford wouldn’t change our position in the table much ?
Poch has had a tough season imo. got to try instill confidence and work on building cohesion with a bunch of young players whilst juggling an awful injury list. Not really surprised by where we are in the table. Think he could have done better in the final against Liverpool and think some of his subs are poor but I don’t really blame him too much for this season.

I know that fuser just giving my own opinion in terms of league position etc wasnt getting at you or insinuating you said it,
Its been a rough long season we can only hope it ends soon and the board make 2 or 3 smart decision in the summer and add some experience.
