' 7 Days, I will be expecting at least 7pts in those days '

Expecting us to go unbeaten against a team like Norwich, Derby and then maybe a winnable game against Boro. Lower your expectations

My expectations are at least top 2 this season, so is Oles,our Players and Tans and I do believe most City fans?

Nothing wrong with optimism but Norwich are clearly a good side and finished above us in the league last season. Derby narrowly missed out on promotion and have an experienced manager at the helm. Boro is the only game that I'm confident about. If we don't pick up seven points so what? It's early days and only the second month of the season.

i think we need to be looking at 6 or 7 points

i hardest game is derby away which i think we will lose by a small margin derby hard to beat at home
both home games we should be looking for max points, but i think with the big turn around in our team we will not see the full potential of our team/squad till mid october.

Darty, I agree

Just look at Fulham and Wigan, both are expected to be right up there and they both looked very ordinary, but I do expect Wigan to be up there come May.
With our squad, we should expect a lot from them and wins are expected by many of the fans,I honesty believe we can get 7pts

If we dont pick up 7pts,its not the end of the world,but then pressure starts to mount.

Weird thread title.

This will test how serious our promotion credentials are. If we get 5 pts + its game on, anything less and it will indicate an average season
I think we will get 1 (Boro).

I was struggling for a title.

good topic though, serious tests ahead.

Expext at least top 2.... Hm.. Can we do better?

Thank you

Yes runaway Champions

7 should be do able, I'd be happy with 6, Derby away will be the toughest game, they have been strong at home from what I remember of the few games so far

But I agree.. 6 point would be great. I'm a bit afraid the team need some time to get the new players to know how to play together..

Jules, always tough at Derby, so a point would be ok, Boro 3pts and Norwich tough, but were at home, so 3pts

Our next 3 games are over a short period of only 7 days.

At least 7pts for me

What are you expecting from these games?

I agree Annis, while all 3 are good teams, with the we have at squad at Ollie's disposal we should no settle for anything less.

So far so good at home, so let's hope that continues so we can get right up there!

We have the players, so we should fear No one

At some point, we are going to have to start showing the form you suggest Annis. As you stated in a previous post, 1-2 from 9 points is relegation form. Most on this forum were saying weeks ago that we are destined to win the league. If we want to do that, we have to beat the top sides.

7 is a valid target in my opinion.

The players are there.

Now is the time to gel and strike fear into the opposition.

9 points is not out of the question either!!!!

But do we have the manager? I hope so.

Time will tell on that one.

Two points at best I fear,

If ole keeps going the way he has I honestly think we will be lucky to get 3 or 4 points.
His constant changing of the team and formation is a big worry and concern for me.
I hope he gets it together though and proves me wrong because this squad is quality,

I am pretty sure that Derby and Norwich fans also expect points against us. That`s how it is but i wouldn`t say we have mid table/relegation form or promotion form based on these 3 matches. All teams have ups and downs and we all remember how we ended the season in Championship last time. Id rather see us start slow and finish strong than see us fade towards the end.

Boro is a must win. We are much better than them.

Norwich was better than us last year and when we wanted to strenghten our squad we actually went to them to buy Pilkington who was surplus there. They have only lost Snodgrass and Fer since last year and got players with tons more experience than us. Id be happy with 1 point, not devastated if we loose either as i see them getting promoted easily this year.

Derby is a good team, especially at home. Satisfied with 1 point but we shouldn`t loose.

4 points if acceptable imo and wont make it impossible to get up. Would be lots of matches left against easier teams..

Let's start a good run of games against good opposition - 9/9

Put fear in opposing teams - at the moment most teams are still playing their style vs our style

Let's force them to play our game and hope they can knick a point.

If we are to get promoted we will need a good stretch of games - might as well start off now aye?

I think we should be trying to win every game.

That said id be delighted with 7pts.

Our style and setup that Ole plays regardless of squad will get us nowhere MO

The simple fact is that if you average 2 points a game you will go up, probably as Champions.

Therefore, it doesn't really matter who you get those points against. This is possibly the toughest run of 3 opponents in the season although the fact that we have two of them at home does help !

5 points would be good, 6 points would put us close to the two point a game mark and, given the fixture list for the first 6 weeks of the season, I would suggest that would represent a pretty good start.

I would echo some of the previous comments. Due to the late signings, fitness issues, etc., I really dom't think we'll see the best of this squad until mid October. In our promotion year we didn't hit the top of the table until late November, I just hope history repeats itself

7 from 9 against anyone is good but when the competition is against the likes of Norwich and Derby then that will be impressive.

I will be delighted with 5 points. More important though is that our performances improve dramatically so we can all start thinking more positively for the future.

Solskjaer will be looking for 3 wins and will go all out for that, i am sure he will be disappointed in anything less,no need to put pressure on him, come October then expect more

, we should be aiming for 7-9 however I think that they are tough games and would be happy with 6!

Second that.
