Top 4 ?

[Verbal Kint]

Let’s see what happens tonight. I’m not expecting much to be honest, but am deffo not writing us off before a ball is kicked. I think this season has proven that anything can happen.

A defeat may knock our confidence, though. A heavy defeat definitely will. A draw still keeps us in it, and a win would be awesome.

Whatever the result, it won’t define our season.

Yes this

Miles behind top 4.

We're a top 5th - 8th team at best. A couple of injuries and we become bang average.

Still a couple of windows away and another 3 or 4 quality players away from even thinking about top 4.

 

[Wat Tyler]

We are when we.go into games against the big teams without our best players.

If we can keep beating the teams below us we can still qualify ( hard task like don't get me wrong )

I’d be amazed if we get five more points than Chelsea between now and the end of the season.
Europa at best. But I would be happy with that.

Yes, unfortunately.

Chelsea are a typical top 4 standard. Quality players in abundance.

Thing is beat Villa and we are only one point behind Chelsea, tonight is a massive blow, but it's not totally off.
We just have to be almost perfect and hope the European games can stretch someone

Win our game in hand and we only need to better one of their results

 

[The binman chronicles]

A couple of teams hitting top form as we go through the motions. If we get players back we could go on a run but I think we are aiming to finish above wham.

 

[brieverton]

I'm relaxed about Top 4 as it was never a real possibility.

Top 6 would be a great achievement, challenge would be to maintain league form whilst coping with Europe.

 

[PhilRegan]

Oh well fun short dream next time ay

 

[4737carlin]

Yes, unfortunately.

Chelsea are a typical top 4 standard. Quality players in abundance.

If they hadnt of wasted games with Frank for sentimental reasons, they would walk second place.

 

[f.t.r.s]

Let's see where we are when we play spurs, the run of games before that will show how serious we are about top 4, all winnable ganes

Progress though isn’t it mate?

Can safely say Doucoure, James, Godfrey are significant upgrades in what we previously had and if we keep improving like that we’ll be boss again in no time.

Europe in any form is an over achievement for a side who lost to Liverpool kids last year.

Today just wasn’t our night.

 

[atypicalusername]

Still in our reach. Very possible and if we do it would be very deserved.

 

[Carloblues]

Deffo mate

Would have snapped your hand up for any form of Europe at the start of the season

 

[paulbefc]

Not this year.

Thing is beat Villa and we are only one point behind Chelsea, tonight is a massive blow, but it's not totally off.
We just have to be almost perfect and hope the European games can stretch someone

People are welcome to be as positive as they like and have their opinion that we could sneak in, but for me the combination of defeat there and the Doucoure injury means the best we can do is miss out while putting on a fight.

I'd be delighted with that as it'd mean we may finish top 6.
