Top Four Possibility

[ArtetaMoney]

I think we'll get stronger as the season goes on, Koeman gets his playing style across and players become used to it. I just think we're too far behind at the minute so 6th would be the best to hope for.

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

In the 2015/16 season, from this stage onwards (Gameweek 22-23), Southampton accumulated 31 points under Koeman. At that stage they were 10th. They finished 6th. A monumental ask, but to say it cant be done is wrong.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Bruce. Please don't get into that bad habit of counting chickens. You know what always happens when we do that.

And I am formally asking you now to ban anybody who starts another next 6 games thread ffs.

I know it's the age old cliché, but for once let's just take one game at a time and see where that takes us. If we are in good position come end of March, then let's start talking then. We've got a devilishly difficult April.

Oh for sure, the chances are still very slim indeed, and as I say, we don't have a great record of performing when things really matter.

 

[ArtetaMoney]

4 more points and we're definitely safe, that's something to be happy about.

 

[duncs pigeon]

Manure should be our 1st target. We are five points behind them, we need to keep winning, beat them at OT and hope the drippoints somewhere. If we - a big if imo- catch them then the team in 5th become ur target.

I don't think it is but if we win tonight it is as much on as a title challenge is for the RS but nobody in the press will ever say we have a chance.

 

[Prevenger17]

We will be absolutely nowhere near top 4 by season's end. But ok

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

what are our chances of winning almost all our remaining games - be serious please matron!

Manure should be our 1st target. We are five points behind them, we need to keep winning, beat them at OT and hope the drippoints somewhere. If we - a big if imo- catch them then the team in 5th become ur target.

By the time that happens, the RS will be below them, so they will be our target.

This thread will look silly after we loose or draw tonight

 

[nsno-chris]

When Stoke smash us tonight with fat Saido Berahino baggin a brace, 2 things will happen:
1) This place will implode and the entire internet will break
2) Mikey will be dancing round in his gruds telling anybody who cares that we should have signed that fat little waster

 

[EFCPaul]

No. Top 8 might not even be on if Lukaku gets injured. Chill people, let's just focus overhauling 6th if we can, for now.

 

[Dario Terracotta]

We're great when as at present we are "coasting", there's no real pressure at the minute,"if" we get in sight of the big prize we will have to for once, "grow a set" and step up to the plate, show we actually mean business, by obtaining results against the likes of Spurs/Arsenal/Chelsea/Man U and the other lot, it's a big ask, but not impossible, however as someone stated previously, with our "big game" mentality over the last few years it would appear unlikely, prove us all wrong blues

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

We aren't beating Stoke mate

so no

That's the spirit

 

[orly]

We need 37 points from 16 games for even the merest hint of progress to be shown
