Where could we finish?
|
|
Half way through the season at 32 points. If we match the first half and finish on 64 that would have been enough for Champions League football last season ( finish would be fifth).
Where can West Ham hope to end the season?

Hardest league in the world but it is a very interesting season. I think one of the chasing pack will upset the top four. The key thing is we have a team that will battle for points. So I think we will continue to progress. Just nice to be up there and feel like we deserve to be

The board can't afford a 5th or 6th place finish as they'd be expected to deliver the same or better next season.
I suspect they've got a gentleman's agreement with Moyes for a 12th or 13th placement. That gives them a leeway of 8th to 16th next season.

Five years ago, people would have said that Leicester would run out of puff and be swallowed up by the big guns. I love Moyes' attitude; he is promoting exactly the mindset that we need from the players.
Of course, a top seven / eight / nine finish would represent huge progress, but why not aim as high as we can in these strange times. Nobody will ever convince me that 2015-16 was not a missed opportunity to qualify for the Champions' League; similarly, had we beaten Man United in that year's FA Cup QF, I firmly believe that we'd have gone on to win it.
Let's make new memories on both fronts this season!

Yes, obviously it all depends on injuries. But looking at it this way -
There's no way we're going to finish above:
Liverpool
Man City
Tottenham
Man Utd
We would have to do exceedingly well to finish above:
Chelsea
Leicester
Which leaves us scrapping with the likes of:
Arsenal (currently 5 points ahead of them)
Everton (wouldn't it be good to finish above those c*nts!)
Southampton (can't see them staying where they are now)
Villa (currently 6 points behind but 4 games in hand).
So to sum it up, 5th or 6th would be absolutely exceptional. 7th to 10th is definitely achievable, most likely 8th behind Arsenal or 9th behind Everton.

Even though we are 7 points off top, I'll be happy to speculate when we have 40 points on the board

Yep.
A POSITIVE goal difference would also be a bonus.

Lets not get too excited. An injury to Soucek, Ogbonna or another one for Antonio and we're going to fucking plummet.

Isn't the mean a single figure not a range?
Current position seems too good to be true and would require investment to maintain never mind improve upon
11th for me.

My thoughts exactly... 60 points should be the target

With the uneven distribution of matches played, a little harder to determine our current true position, by just looking at the league table.
Everybody above us, bar Leicester have games in hand on us. Below us Southampton and Villa (4 in Villa's case). Also Arsenal below us, have hit form.
8th - 10th finish.
Mind you, I predicted 19th, before a ball was kicked.

I think the season and the amount of games being played in a shorter period of time will take its toll on our squad. If our owners sanctioned a few signings i would be more optimistic. End of Feb and March fixtures are going to be tough, i reckon 8th place finish which is great progress from last season.

I'd like us to reach 60 points this season, but it won't be easy. Surpassing our Premier League points record of 64 would be an unbelievable season.
At this stage I think we will get between 55-60 points and will finish 7th-11th.
Top half should be a minimal target from here.

Anything is possible at this stage of the season. What will happen is hard to guess due to this being West Ham.

20 points might be a bit harsh 😄

If we had a decent squad to cover for injuries we could be top 6. But there's no way rice soucek antonio Cresswell are all going to be fit all season. We don't have cover for them and when we pick up injuries we'll struggle.
Plus a twenty point penalty for the snodgrass fiasco tonight

I won’t relax until we get to that magic 37 points. This is West Ham, anything could happen?
