Honestly think we will be lucky to make top 6 from here. Start of the season I thought we had a top 4 squad, but it is becoming obvious that we don't even have a top 6 squad.

3 of our next 4 at home (WSW, Jets and Perth) Away game is against Sydney... Surely a few points there.
A decent haul would put us right back into the mix.

I think thats ambitious. I think 6 against the Jets and Sydney are on. Maybe a draw from Perth. The way WSW are playing, I expect nothing. 7 would be realistic.

I agree with both of you. 7 is realistic, 8+ is ambitious, but in terms of our season we need to aim for 10. I wouldn't say no to 12 points though!

If we were to pick up 8 or 9 points, knowing how inconsistant the league is, I think that would put us in about 5th or 6th.
As much as people talk about this season being over it really isn't. 2pts off 6th and 3pts off 5th.
Might be a bit of a stretch to break into the top 4 but chuck a good streak together and anything's possible in this league.

Don't be so hard on yourself.
This is a transition season as we move from Piney to you.

I've had instructions from the exec to make things more exciting, rather than being predictable each week, so now you'll never know when the table is going to be posted. If it gets to the stage where the season is a complete write-off, I might give a few different colour styles a run looking ahead to next season.

The one total I know off the top of my head is that there have already been over 200 goals scored this season.

 4-0 win and a draw in the other game and we are 6th. Easy.

After 16 games...

07/08 - DLLWDWLLLLWLDDLW - 16pts - DWLLL - 20 pts (21 games)

08/09 - DLLDLWDWLLWWWLDW - 22 pts - LWLDL - 26 pts (21 games)

09/10 - LWDLDDDDDDWLWDWL - 20 pts - DLDWWWLLWWW - 40 pts (27 games)

10/11 - DWLLWDLWLDLLWLLW - 18pts - DLWLWDWLWLWWLW - 41 pts (30 games)

11/12 - DWLLLDDWLWWLWLWL - 21pts - WWWWLLWWDLL - 40 pts (27 games)

12/13 - WDDLLLWDWLLDWLLL - 16 pts

OK, so after a bit of fucking around we've finally done it - it's now the equal worst season (up to this point) ever.

More good news, unless we pick up at least a point next week it will be the outright worst season ever.

Also, if we lose next week it will equal our worst ever run of form ever - 4 losses in a row.

Umm, don't stop believin'?

At least Ricki and the happy clappers can no longer hide behind the 'best start to the season ever' statements that were used to deflect  criticism earlier in the season.

Sydney beating Heart was arguably a better result for us. Keeps Heart in the pack with us. Next week is teams 1-4 vs teams 5-8, if the top 4 win those games and we beat Sydney.... we will be in a better position.

I can't believe we've scored the same amount as brisbane!  WSW have now scored 19 goals as well.  Worryingly we have hardly scored goals at home (9 so far).

We have 4 games left at home (in Wellington), 2 games away but in NZ.  Can we get 18 points from those games?
