    So after a good start with 6 points on the board from the first five games with two top teams thrown in there, attention turns to the next run of games.

    Palace (Home)
    West Ham (Away)
    Bournemouth (Home)
    Fulham (Away)
    Brentford (Home)

    A nice run of games, all a week apart, with an international 2 week break between Bournemouth and Fulham. Two trips to the capital thrown in to the mix with 3 home games and a preview of our 4th round league cup clash with Palace later in November which will also take place at SJP first up in 3 days time to kick things off.

    Hopefully a few injuries will clear up in the next few weeks and the squad will look a lot stronger plus maybe another signing or two today?

    3 wins and a draw I think.

    Depends on who's fit. We could end up dropping points vs Palace with injuries.

    "The next 5... points?"

    Is it a trick question?
    Surely our next 5 points will be in the 4-6 category?

    12 points. West Ham away will be tricky and we might lose. The rest are winnable, based off the previous 5 matches

    15 points, out of sheer outrage at conceding late last night. The annoyance at that will keep the team motivated for the next 5 games and we shall destroy all in our path

    Depends who is fit. We’ve already proven that without our best team out we struggle to beat teams such is the lack of depth in the squad that apparently doesn’t need to be addressed.

    If we’re chasing a goal and the bench still has Murphy, Fraser, Wood on it where are the wins coming from?

    The fact that they are still on the bench and not on the pitch?

    That sort of pessimism isn't welcome in here!

    Yep. We'll get bonus points for winning with Murphy playing.

    Yes, that's why he's being conservative in his predictions.
