Hell yeah it does. We only look up from now on! What a difference a day makes.....24 little .........
Touch and go with Watford but possible. If Ralph had been in charge from the start of the season, and we had achieved 1.5 points per game, we would currently be on 49 or 50 points and comfortably in 7th position.
Next season we will be up with the likes of Leicester, Watford, Wolves and Everton without a doubt IMO, forget the top 6 for the next few years though as there is just a chasm in quality (nearly 20 points) between them and the rest now and I can't see it changing any time soon.
I know I’m being completely unrealistic, but if we are talking top 7 with our current squad, just think what we could do with a defensive leader alongside Bednarek, and a genuine PL striker to rotate with Ings. IF, and it’s a huge if, we don’t revert to type and start selling our assets, we could be challenging the top 6 sooner than you think.
If our Academy starts bearing real fruit again then we stand a chance in a few years with this particular Manager that's for sure.
