So some big tests coming up in our next set of 7 games taking us through to the end of December. How many points do you all think we will have come the new year?

I'm going

Chelsea (A) Lose
A.Villa (H) Win
Man City (H) Draw
Newcastle (A) Draw
Spurs (H) Draw
Cardiff (A) Win
Everton (A) lose

Only 9 points but some really tough matches. We could easily turn a couple of those draws into wins but I think 31 points going into January would keep us in the top 6.

Think we might get a draw against Chelsea. Poch will know how to play Mourinho. ManC are poor away, as are Spuds. So I think 14 points are very possible.
 
I expect us to win all our home games. It won't work out that way, of course, but we should go into each game at St Marys confident of all 3 points.

So I'd go for 9 points from the 3 home games, and anywhere from 1-4 away, so between 10-14 points in total. Being a glass half empty kind of guy at heart, I'll plump for 11.
 
Let's be fair, all these games are hard. I would be happy enough coming out still above the divide between 9th and 10th.
 
Hate to be the pessimist but I feel the international break and the loss at arsenal will kill some momentum. And we will start to get some injures.

Chelsea (A) Lose
A.Villa (H) Win
Man City (H) Loss
Newcastle (A) Draw
Spurs (H) loss
Cardiff (A) draw
Everton (A) lose

5 points. Hope to be proved wrong.

I think it just killed your positive outlook, that's all.
