Come on then, lots of Albion mojos are properly ROARING back.

Where can we realistically go this season? Here is the league table:

1 Derby 18 18 35
2 Bournemouth 18 17 32
--------------------------------------
3 M'boro 18 14 32
4 Ipswich 18 8 31
5 Brentford 18 2 31
6 Blackburn 18 4 30
--------------------------------------
7 Watford 18 10 29
8 Nottm Forest 18 6 28
9 Charlton 18 2 28
10 Norwich 18 6 27
11 Wolves 18 -3 27
12 Cardiff 18 1 26
13 Sheff Wed 18 -2 22
14 Huddersfield 18 -6 21
15 Reading 18 -6 21
16 Leeds 18 -5 20
17 Fulham 18 -5 19
18 Millwall 18 -5 19
19 Birmingham 18 -14 19
20 Brighton 18 -3 18
21 Bolton 18 -7 18
--------------------------------------
22 Rotherham 18 -10 18
23 Wigan 18 -4 17
24 Blackpool 18 -18 8

That'll be us, perilously close to the relegation zone. But look, just 12 points off 6th and 14 off 2nd, with TWENTY EIGHT games to play.

I'd tolerate 20th by the end of the season, I'd be content with mid-table, but let's dream a bit here. Huge crowds, a bit of form and where could we go?

Hovering around the play-off places.

I honestly have no idea, but I'll discount both the top two and bottom three. It'd be great if, at some stage, we start to challenge for a play-off position. If not, let's try and consolidate over the summer.

we need a 10 game winning streak. We can do this starting on Saturday. Top two is out of reach, play offs her we come :wink:

No, no we don't.

A FIVE game winning streak starting Saturday would probably leave us six points (ish) outside the top six with half the season still to play.

We are going to win the league. Starting with an 8-1 tonking of Fulham. Bent x 3 EB x 2 Dunk, Calde, Ince.

sorry ...i think we will COME with a LATE BURST and sneak up BEHIND and OVERWHELM our unsuspecting rivals ...we will be unbeaten in our last 18 games , SCORING 47 goals , LETTING IN only 3 to finish fourth, we will then wipe the floor with our two opponents in the play offs and lift the champions league trophy next season.....SPUNK..!:rave:

10th, but only after some of the most outrageously entertaining matches in Albion history.

We'll only lose matches to 5-4 scorelines (or similar), 0-0 results will be a thing of the past and Darren 'Jesus' Bent will be on 20 goals by mid-March.

Top ten, outside chance of top 6. Been thinking that for a few weeks anyway........but now a teeny bit more confident of the top 6 chance.

We are set for a Reading style push for the playoffs where we will beat a team who have been comfortably better than us all season and head into the Premiership!
