...had a few similar threads lately and like most other folk I don't like them. We should know from previous seasons that we can't predict a relatively friendly looking run of games. Its a cliché, but lets not look beyond Swansea and we can't do anything about the games our rivals are involved in.

"quiet" not "quite" I'm guessing.

Yeah spelled the wrong one dam it, I spend so much time getting them fixtures together then got rushed out the door before checking for errors. Theme of my life!

The answer is 'I don't know' but it feels like if we can to early Feb unscathed then it might just be ON.

 

[Netromelo]

Could be anything from 2nd to 7th really, though the next few games doesn't look too bad compared to our rivals. I'm guessing 3rd or 4th.

Anything more than 8 points is a good return I think.

 

[JAYTALITY]

I predict by Jan the first at least one the teams in the top eight will have falling drastically behind.

 

[Goat]

Anything less than 18 points is a joke.

Why do people think Swansea is easy 3pts.

Why do people think Swansea is easy 3pts.

Lets see:

They've never beaten us
Never even scored against us
They're not playing well
We're boss.

[DevineEFC]

8 or 9 points would be a very good return! But i'd be happy with 5...

Aslong as we keep in touch with the top 4 i'll be happy! Whatever the results

not possible to get 8 from 3 games. I am suspecting a D,W,D 5 points...but think we'll get 3 away to Stoke on News Year Day (game 20)
