1 point from Europe, 6 games to go


Dave Jones said on sky that 6th place qualifies for champions league if Villa win the europa.. just imagine that final game against Chelsea gunning for 6th!
 
Looking at the run ins, we’d need to over perform slightly and hope others underperform. We’d probably need at least a win and 2 draws out of villa, Man U and Chelsea, for instance.

It’s definitely possible but a long shot. I’d be thrilled with 10th.
 
Wins against Everton and Chelsea would be huge if we can leap them. Big if like aha

If you breakdown the next 3 games:

Villa - play midweek, 7 points clear of finishing outside C league, might be relaxed.
Forest - if they beat Burnley this weekend they might be happy with a draw against us, also Friday night game so we’ll be up for it.
Wolves - will likely be officially relegated just before our game. (Although not sure this will have any impact)

Get 7 points from these 3 and we’re flying
 
It’s on. 10 points might be needed from 6. We have the huge advantage of having players back and only playing 1 game each week. Personally I’d take top 10 and finishing above the Mags but we’ve definitely given ourselves a chance of Europe, unbelievable!
