Sheaf Saint Posted 12 February, 2014 Share Posted 12 February, 2014 (edited) Just looking back through the records... Our cup final season under WGS we finished 8th (where we are now) with 52 points. 13 wins, 13 draws, 12 defeats, and a -3 GD. As of now we only need to get another 14 points from our remaining 12 games to beat this. Of those 12 games we only have to play 5 teams that are currently above us, and 3 of those are at home, with visits to Spurs and Man City the only really tricky away games. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if we get closer to 60 points and manage to get above Man Utd for 7th. That would be our best league finish since 1990. Edit: I've just noticed somebody has posted on another thread that we currently have exactly the same W/D/L/Pts record as we did at this stage in 2003. We only won 3 of our last 12 that time, and we also suffered that 6-1 defeat at Arsenal which wiped out our positive GD. I'm extremely confident we can better that this year.

CB Fry Posted 12 February, 2014 Share Posted 12 February, 2014 The difficult thing will be maintaining intensity. If we carry on in the cup, that will take our focus away from the league, although conversely if we get knocked out on Saturday it might deflate us for the final few months. Either way, we have little to strive for in the league. We will at least match Strachan's team - current team is better than that team - but I am not sure it will be by much. We will play so many teams who will need a win more than us. 8th/9th will do me and lets try and at least get to a Wembley semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggles31 Posted 12 February, 2014 Share Posted 12 February, 2014 I'd fancy us to finish on 57 points in 8th. Just behind Utd. 5 wins - Cardiff, Norwich, Palace, Newcastle, Villa 3 draws - WHU, Swansea, Everton 4 losses - Utd, Liverpool, City, Tottenham Hope my maths adds up!

Olallana Posted 13 February, 2014 Share Posted 13 February, 2014 I want to get to the last game where a win takes us above Man U, that would be great after they sent us down on the last day. While I agree with this, I´m thinking about another scenario too. What if they get on a run (seems very unlikely now though unfortunately) where they could finish 4th if they beat us on the last day but we have the chance to make them miss out on it....?? To miss the 4th spot in a situation like that would hurt them much more than a game determing if they finish 7th or 8th... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 13 February, 2014 Share Posted 13 February, 2014 Regardless of of what form or run Man Utd are in by the time we play them I fancy our chances of beating anyone at home. Over the the last two seasons at home we've beaten and drawn with Man City, beaten Liverpool, beaten Chelsea once (lost once), drawn with Arsenal twice (and should have beaten them) and narrowly lost to a Utd team on what our third game back in the prem. Against that big 5 at home that is P8, W3, D3, L2. The only games we will probably loose at Man City away and Spurs away, even then Spurs have been better away from home than at WHL this season and it took a Bale wonder goal to beat us there last year. We certainly are capable of winning all our remaining home games (we obviously won't), and more than capable of beating the likes of Palace, Villa, Swansea, West Ham away. If we avoid the type of sluggish performances like we had last year against QPR then I reckon we could pick up 20-21 points from those remaining games.
