limpid Posted August 17, 2014 Administrator Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'm going to try to remember to do this each month. Please remind me if I forget. This poll will be open for the first week of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Going into the month in 3rd place, conceding only one goal, don't even have our talisman back yet, and potentially another signing or two by night's end. Very pleased with the start, because we have a nightmare run of games coming up. Securing 7 points going into that run gives us a little cushion. 6.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwishIwasalivein1982 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Enjoying 3rd while I can. Looks like we might be the 'dark horse' team this year that have a run no one expects. Bit like Southampton last season or Albion the one before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We'll need to start scoring more goals if we have any designs on being a dark horse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oaks Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I can't say I'm optimistic because the only thing I'm optimistic about so far is that I don't think we will be relegated this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raver50032 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 We have got off to the good start we needed. Now bracing myself for the fall back down to earth as the Premier League table begins to take it's more normal look over the next month or so... Apart from the cup result last month, the team have delivered pretty much what was needed. I'm yet to be convinced that they can keep it up...

alreadyexists Posted September 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2014 At the end of the season we can plot the average optimism level on a graph and see how it fluctuates... I like graphs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'll take 3 or 4 points from the nightmare run of 5 games we have next. As that means 10 points from 8 games will result in final total of 48. That's before we factor how tough the opposition was and Benteke to come back.

mikeyp102 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Encouraged by results so far, and so have moved my prediction out of relegation. Still think we have a long way to go and will have to see how we get on against more attacking opposition. Very happy with points haul so far though.

romavillan Posted September 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2014 Sticking with 9-12 finish, any more than 3 points from the next run of games will be a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-87 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 At some point we will lose a game - it's at this point we need to carry on being optimistic. If we carry on the way we are, deffo a top 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted September 1, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2014 Great start for us, but I'm sticking with 13-16th for now. Feel quite optimistic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 13-16 Slightly pessimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 difficult to say. Have gone with slightly optimistic and 9-12, although well aware the following month could open up our weakness' more drastically. Still, we do look a far more solid outfit so as much as we may struggle to pick up points in the next few games, I'm confident we won't be mullered. Still thoroughly pissed off with the league cup exit, and it's a shame we couldn't get the extra one or two players the manager was looking for, but overall the transfer window has seen an undeniable improvement to our first team and squad. 6/10. Dropping a point for the cup exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westholmevillan Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Comfortable mid table finish for me. I am not panicking at all about the next 5 games...we are not the only side that have to play those 5. Whoever,can gain the most points from those games will be in a good position. After all, we done well against those sides last season, except for Everton who are leaking goals. Moreover, we ran both Arsenal and Liverpool close at home and would have gained all three points at Anfield with our current defence. We also beat Man city and Chelsea at home and were robbed of a point at the Bridge. We had a great win at the Emirates on the opening day and lost to a last minute goal at Goodison Park. I believe that we can do equally well against those sides again especially with confidence being high and a new found resilience. Important that heads do not drop when the first defeat is experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever happened to ..... Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So far so good but rough lot of fixtures through to October now. If we can get 4 or 5 points in the next 5 weeks we are set for mid table and that is better than i have felt for about a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
