POLL - WILL WE FINISH IN THE TOP FOUR?

Postby Original Dub » Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:17 pm

I know there's a top four thread, but I just wanted to measure actual belief rather than hope, so simple yes or no as to what you believe. No "I'm not sure" bollox.

Lets pretend you were betting everything you owned.

Lets see how the general belief in the performances is fairing. Obviously, we all HOPE we make it, but RIGHT NOW, do you think we actually WILL?

My hopes for the season was 5th with good push for fourth. I think we are in course to do that but will fall just short. So no. Bu tI wouldn't bet anything against us doing it either.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

TOO EARLY TO CALL.

WE HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE PLAYED SAME GAMES AS EVERYONE ELSE..

LETS SEE WHERE WE ARE THEN AND WHAT TYPE OF FOOTBALL WE ARE PLAYING, ONLY THEN CAN WE SAY WITH MORE CONVICTION WHERE WE WILL END.

Yeah I get that carl, but you can change your vote as your confidence in the team changes... I just think it will be a good measure of belief amongst us...

Look at it like everything you own is riding on black or red and you're hovering between the two before the roulette ball stops spinning....

What's your gut instinct right now?

We keep grinding out points despite awful performances, but these next few games are the big test, and any prediction given how we are playing would have to err on the pessimistic side right at this moment in time

However I'd like to think we have the balls to hold it together, and we have beaten all the "big" teams this season which is a cause for optimism, so its not all doom and gloom, just looks like a big mountain to climb right now so i'm on no

definitely belief and positive thinking is what separate the teams above us. we have the squad to pull it off we just need to stop thinking negative and start supporting the club to the hilt.

Pick one for fuck sake John, some of you just baffle me!! Its a measure of what your gut instinct and confidence tells you. The question was if you HAD to say right now.

I'm pessimistic at the moment so I HAD to vote NO. However, depending on how we PERFORM on Sunday (not even the result), it will tell us a lot more, as would a win against Chelsea.

For now its NO.

We have managed, latterly playing crap football to win the" easy" home games and failed in all but 1 of the away games so it aint looking very positive at the moment so I have voted no . But the team with all the experience/know how is at COMS on Sunday and if we beat them it should change the mind set of everybody.

No worries, I did give a pretty strong hint in my post that it was based on your current confidence in the team....

Voted yes. Pretty strightforward question so there's little else to say, but I have to admit I'ìm baffled to see the majority leaning toward no.
