Let's do it!
Our league position may plateau if management chooses to nurture players for the future, but our support must remain unstinting. | |

Catching Southampton would be nice, although probably not going to happen. |  |

great evolution of our club...seen the away games at York and Kidderminster
and the Tosh/harry Griffiths era.
Happy days.
Continuous improvement looks the motto now.
Let's see us push for top eight now 40 points are in the bag.
I would like us to purchase Liberty outright.
Get a known brand (in addition to major sponsors) to sponsor the stadium
The 'is there or isn't there outside investors' hasn't helped momentum on ground expansion. The first phase 6000 seats will hopefully be ambitiously introduced in a futuristic design soon.
Now that the Stuttgart lads have been linked....it would be a big let down if they didn't sign. So that deal will hopefully be nailed down.
Spurs will be tough but a consistent run in is important now and that belief is there. | | | |

I'm torn between going all out to try and scrape into the Europa league and giving players like Gorre, Grimes and Barrow a bit of game time. Would also be nice to see if we can find a way of getting the best out of Gomis (i.e. formation last 2 games) or if we can't, working out what to do with him in the summer.
Heart says Europa league push, head is swaying me towards building for next season, particularly as we are in a bit of a transitional period at the moment. | | | |

It is Europe for me. It will become pretty obvious very quickly if we are failing to hit that target as it is a tall order. That will leave us plenty of time to try some new things ready for next season should that be the case. [Post edited 1 Mar 2015 12:14]

Top 6 finish. Challenging but achievable. |  | | |

This 40 points target is a nonsense target. So what happens after 40?
I recall huw jenkins saying in an interview that the board do not set a target of 40 points, this is the fans target its nonsense | | | |

On reflection, I agree with this. Another trip to Europe would be great. We would need to add a bit of depth in some areas though [Post edited 1 Mar 2015 13:38]

"When I hear some of our players and staff talking [about getting to 40 points] now it really upsets me that they can actually think like that, because you are more or less conceding a third of the games you play in before you start. I find that the hardest thing to take, that we have actually got staff and players that struggle at this point in time to see where we can compete. And that's the biggest challenge I've got, to make sure that turns around and that everybody working with the club believes if we keep doing things differently, we can compete, irrespective of the size of the club or budgets." | | | |

Will be enjoying the run-in towards the end of the season, while knowing that we WILL get many more points and ourselves in good stead for the start of next season :).
Will deffo renew my JA account tomorrow so I can get Arsenal away tickets as well as Palace. Will be my first games of the season. | | | |

Whatever Huw Jenkins says publicly, the first target at the start of the season is survival. Whether you put a points tally on that is immaterial.
Obviously goals and expectations change during the course of the season. I think what he is getting at is that although survival is the main aim, we can't ease off when we achieve it.
I don't know when that quote was from, but it would have had a different meaning in August and January. | | | |

I disagree why should it be survival that would be an objective for a newly promoted side not SCFC
The aim of the board is for SCFC to finish as high as possible it's not about survival

I think we are in a position to now start looking at ourselves as an established Premier League side. Our run in to the end if the season will be telling. If we can finish in the top 8 then we should have no reason to be fearful next season. The only way we are ever going to regularly be Champions league contenders is if we get a Monaco style investment whereby the sugar addy has so much cash to chuck around he is just in it for the fun. Those looking to profit must be treated with suspicion.
On the other hand there is no reason why we cannot try as one off by keeping ourselves in contention. Also cup runs must be taken more seriously and not as an outlet to give fringe players a game. These are big opportunities to get into Europe.
In summary - a good end to the season and we should be looking at cup wins and European football via cups or league position. Reasonable goals even without outside investment. | |

Established Premier League clubs look first and foremost to survive every season. The financial reward of another season in the Premier League dictates it. No-one will ever quote that, because it sounds negative. I can guarantee you that will be the case with us and 10-12 other clubs in August. Newcastle, West Ham and Villa have all been run that way recently.
Doesn't mean we should ease off when we think we are safe, as we have appeared to do the last two seasons. | | | |

Maintain 8th, hopefully 7th. If that means EL all well and good BUT we struggled last time in the PL and we don't want o flirt with relegation next year with the extra money starting the following season.
So, i'd be happy with 8th, ecstatic with 7th just missing out on EL. | | | |

I came away thinking of Europe too and especially when i seen we were just 6 points behind Southampton who were 5th at the time and very catchable.Would love us to push on again and to win straight after beating a side like Man Utd the week before and then going away to a side like Burnley and winning again showed a different side to us.We might not be as pretty on the eye as in previous season but we've a real steel to our game this season and winning ugly instead of playing well and losing seems to be the way we're going and we'd better get used to it. |  | | |

55 points.
I hope we can finish off the season with style playing good football and secure 8th. | | | |
