Will we finish in the Top 4

[foxes_rule1978]

I’m going for yes, we totally blown up today and it was awful but we were on a run beforehand. A couple of changes needed though, Maddison off set pieces and Perez not in the team.

 

Beat a poor Fulham side and off form wolves who are far worse than us then things look good. Get Vardy and Ndidi back in ASAP 

[Lesta2014]

Since we beat Chelsea we’ve lost a player a game, vardy, Ndidi and now Castagne. That alone will see us drop out of top 4

[NewquayFox]

5th or 6th again, today’s performance is exactly the way we played in those final 9 games last season, simply not good enough to finish top 4.... 

[Guest kristianity77]

I voted no.  But if you had included top 6 in there as well I'd of ticked yes to that.  But like last season, its a lorryload of missed opportunities that are mounting up and will undoubtedly be our undoing to achieve anything better.

[filbertway]

Given how close it is I think we will be one of 2 out of 3/4 teams that are in the running for 3rd/4th place at the end of the season. If Liverpool can rock up to West Ham with that team today and win 3-1 then they have 2nd place locked down.

 

We're capable of putting a string of 3 or 4 wins together no problem, so we should be there or there abouts at the end of the season. If we manage to keep a fit squad for the majority of the season, then there's no reason we can't keep this up.

[Paninistickers]

Nailed on between 2nd to 6th. Happy with any of those. 

[Dr The Singh]

Naaaa, need a.backup.to vards and Ididi.

Yh Chelsea changed there manager ?

Chelsea even though are below us, are fishing in a different pond to us.  To have that team down near tenth was criminal really.  Plus, Lampard did nothing to get that job and was exposed for what he was, an amateur learning his trade.

Anythings possible this Season, but I think 5th / 6th, is more realistic, and a good place to be in.

[adam]

Not for me. No decent back up for vardy will cost us. He is likely to miss a few more games this season. Home form pretty horrendous as well. 

[Guest Manini]

No I don’t think we will but it shouldn’t be compared to last season. It won’t be a meltdown if we don’t make it this year because it’s generally a lot tighter and I think personally we haven’t been as good this season compared to up to Christmas last season. We completely blew it last season and 5th felt like a shite trade off, 5th this year would be consolidating that and not many clubs of our size consolidate European football in back to back seasons. Look at Wolves. 
 

Another year in Europe and a good transfer window and then we can look at how we can start trying to break the top 4 again. 

[Le Renard]

I had us down for 8th at the beginning of the season, I still feel that a top 6 place and a good run in the cups will be a very good season.  I'm still hoping for a top 4, but I just feel that this team when it needs to take the next step, just can't handle it.  They have the talent to do it but I never feel confident that they will just go that extra mile!

[Dahnsouff]

Went Yes but only assuming we beat Fulham

[Fox92]

Yes.

 

If we bottle it again it will be more gutting than last season.

Just now, Fox92 said:

The worrying thing is we don't have the points cushion we had last season. Not to mention the added European games

[Brizzle Fox]

Nah. Not strong enough squad strength up front or in midfield. Might get top 6 though which in reality is still us punching above our true weight as a club in the context of our history, and should not be underestimated as an achievement. 

[kingfox]

If our key players stay fit, then most definitely yes.

 

If the likes of Vardy and Ndidi keep getting injured every now and then, then I can see us missing out, on the basis of a lack of depth in key areas.

[nnfox]

17 games to go.  11 wins and a couple of draws would give us 74 points which will easily be good enough for top 4.  We simply have to turn up and beat the current bottom 8 though.  Our games against Villa, West Ham, Chelsea and Spurs, as it stands are massive, especially as two of them are our final two games.

 

Concentrate on the Europa imo.

[SixtiesFox]

My heart says yes, but my head forced me to vote no. For the second year in a row, unless something dramatic happens in the next 24 hours, we'll have missed the opportunity to strengthen in January and capitalize on another excellent start. It cost us last year and it will again. I don't want to be too accusatory as our current owners have taken us to unprecedented heights of success, but I am beginning to think that a lack of funding is undermining our ability to match our stated ambition to take the next step.  

[Heart-Shaped Fox]

Fifth again. 

 

Not able to be consistent and it's not good enough. 

 

Losing at home to likes of Leeds, Villa, Everton, Fulham and West Ham is so poor. 

 

Players seemingly love to believe in their own hype every time we get going on a run. Hopefully it's a kick up the arse again.

[martyn]

Relax. Chalobah in and we're title contenders.

 

 

[David Hankey]

A lack of goals, 1 in 2 games, it appears quite unlikely if this trend continues that we will.

[splinterdream]

I think we're 2/3 quality players short, an attacking midfielder, a decent winger and a striker 

[sly1]

Next 2 games will determine  that hope so 

[woollett the bullet]

No chance

Too inconsistent,

capable of beating anyone on our day but equally capable of losing to anyone. 

Got the talent but seem to get out fought  / complacent occasionally.
