We haven't had one of these threads in a while.....

Far easier run than what we have been on, can we take advantage?

Fulham (a) - W

Stoke (h) - D

Hull City (a) - W

West Ham (a) - D

Liverpool (h) - L

Crystal Palace (a) - W

Norwich City (h) - W

I'm going for 14 points, taking us to 46 pts and in the direction of almost certain mid-table, err, sort of glory.
 
If we're to seal a spot in the top nine and push to overtake Newcastle, we'll need a minimum of 12 from that stretch, but yeah...14-17 would be nicer.

13 points.

Be interesting to see if losing Cabaye stalls their progress, he was without doubt the engine. Their next three games are very tough, Sunderland, Chelsea and Tottenham, I reckon they'll only get 1 point from those.
 
**** it, 21 points. We genuinely could.

I was saying to FLT at the game the other night that the fact we have nothing to lose in the run in could make us really dangerous, Arsenal looked a bit scared of losing, we looked like we didn't give a **** (but not in a bad way). We'll see, but not having to look over your shoulder, or ahead must be quite liberating, and I don't think our team is the type to become demotivated by it.
 
we could get 0 points or 21 points, we'd still find ourselves in 9th
 
Nice run of games full of possibilities. Don't like the fact that Villa are now only 5 points behind us...ninth is ours! Please, Saints....can we just win the games against lower sides...too many draws. Going for 14 points: wins against Fulham, Hull, Norwich and Palace; draws against West Ham and Stoke, and a loss against Liverpool (because I don't want to seem overconfident).
 
Hoping we will start winning again...I don't think our form has dropped much, but we aren't getting the points we deserve. I think we are good enough to be 1-2 places higher. However, those above us deserve to be there as well, so not expecting to get higher than 8-9th.
