We cannot afford any more slip ups, every game is a cup final.
Any loss will limit our hopes.
The talent is there but the total commit sometimes disappears.
No more can we look at other clubs and say " they will drop points" a 100% run in is now essential and that will only give us a playoff slot.
Don't look at the results of the others, they make no difference. 100% to the end is the target.
SB, get them motivated, make them hungry, another year in the champs is unthinkable.

So you reckon if we don’t win all 8 games we won’t get the play offs?

I would bet anyone that Villa will not win their remaining 8 games.
I do not want to seem pessimistic, I am only being realistic.
I would love us to win our last 8 games, but our quality and consistency will I fear, let us down.
Play offs yes I am fairly confident.
Lose at Hull and I will be very worried.

Chris, no I don't reckon that we need to win all 8 but we need to try to win 8 to be 100% certain.
We are 7 pts clear of 7th place but teams are coming up fast.
Target 8 victories, minimum 6.
Play off places are still up for grabs and we don't want Fulham in the first round, therefore 4th or 5th should be better, assuming we don't get 3rd as 4th play 5th and 3rd play 6th.
We could make automatic but silly defeats mean this is unlikely.
8 wins outstanding, 6 just enough.
