Top 2 Finish

Recommended Posts

Worthy has said he still aims for a Top 2 finish ( which is positive).  To reach that target we need at least 80 more points from the remaining games (based on previous seasons final standings).  Do you think we can pull it off?  I think we might, but play offs seem more realistic given our recent standards.  What does anyone else think?

With so many pointsleft he can hardly say anythuing else can he?

Anything is possible - but 96 points would make us champions most seasons so not that many will be needed to get an auto spot - high 80s usually does it. 

Promotion will not be possible with more than say 9 defeats.  We already have 6 defeats and have not yet faced wolves of sheff utd so to go through 32 games with just three defeats is unlikely albeit possible.

However put on top of that the form and performances we have put in so far it is very difficult to see where 70 points from 96 will come from - it is a big big ask - not impossible, just unlikely. Just 4 more defeats means 70 from 84, a max of 7 draws.  That means winning 21 of the next 32 games - truly championship winning form that Chelsea aspire to. 

A play off spot with say 75 points is much more feasible.

And even that is pushing it

Now if we had a new Manager. Please

if it is still possible we must believe so, if we don''t remain positive and hope for the best its going to rub off on the team and we''re going to become even worse

Anythin is possible, but its certainly not probable. Based on recent form, performance and luck (which we have to base all this on) we will finish mid table. However, we keep the team together and enter the next campaign ready for the battle..ala West Ham

Mathematically it''s possible, but football isn''t about maths.

On viewing of the "sometimes good, sometimes awful" football we have seen so far this season, a high mid-table place is where we will finish.

He has totally lost the plot, we do not have a chance!

Anyone who thinks we do is blind or stupid......oh that means you Nigel!

Let results do the talking and not your rubbish

I think this is an occasion where Worthy has to say he thinks we''ll finish in the top 2, if he''s realistic ie playoffs will be lucky on current form, then people will slaughter him for not being positive and lacking ambition, but then he says he thinks we can get top 2 and then people say that he''s not being realistic!

I am sure we can get the playoffs and maybe second if we get Safri and others back to bolster the squad. We need an amazing run for most of the season, but we have done it before when the chips are down.
