In current form?

Forest (H)
Arsenal (A)
Brighton (H)
Burnley (A)
Palace (H)

My heart says 10. Wins against Forest, Palace and Burnley while drawing against Brighton.

Head says 7. Win against Palace and Forest, draw against Burnley while Brighton and Arsenal comfortably dispatch us.

9. Forest, Burnley and Palace. They won't be pretty though.

7. We'll scrape a win against Forest and Palace, draw Vs Burnley, lose to Arsenal and be humiliated by Brighton by at least 4.

I would say 10 points

Forest (H) Win
Arsenal (A) Draw
Brighton (H) Win
Burnley (A) Loss
Palace (H) Win

I know a lot of fans would expect us to lose to Arsenal but we are able to raise our game against the bigger teams. I think a loss is more likely to come in a game we would expect to win so I'll guess Burnley away could provide a slight slip up.

Forest (H) - win
Arsenal (A) - lose
Brighton (H) - draw
Burnley (A) - lose
Palace (H) - draw

I think ETH is going to start coming under massive pressure soon.

I'm very optimistic about Hojlund but this team currently would be on for 7 points.

If we don't get 12 we've f*cked this season before we even got into it.

Should be aiming to get a minimum of 12 points and if we can get a draw away to Arsenal, that would be good. All depends if we can click against Forest and go from there.
We haven't clicked in years I don't think.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
13 - I think our first half display is being massively underrated and we should have scored quite a few goals. At some point someone, somewhere in the team will start making good decisions in the endless promising situations we get into and it will click.

Hard to say at the minute. If we keep playing like we have so far we’ll struggle to get seven points. If Hojlund does well and we either figure out this new system or revert back to a pragmatic one we’ll be okay.

?
Forest (H) WIN
Arsenal (A) LOSE
Brighton (H) DRAW
Burnley (A) WIN
Palace (H) DRAW

8 points. Our away record is shite against decent sides, and Brighton and palace always give us a game.

The two fixtures right before and after the international break (Arsenal, Brighton) are potential season killers that can sent us into a downward spiral of introversion that will be very hard to get out of. Hope we can, at least, put some good performances in.

We should be fine against Forest, we will be obliterated by Arsenal and probably destroyed by Brighton as well. Difficult to say what’s going to happen against Burnley as we don’t know how well they will cope in PL, Palace have been a tricky team for us for a while but they don’t have that much quality.

What would be an acceptable points total from these 5 games? 8 probably? 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss.

If there is rotation and out of form players dropped, I think we'll see a bit of a resurgence in form. If ETH is stubborn and keeps pushing the current CM setup I think we could be on the end of some ugly results, teams will really fancy having a go at us now which is the worst thing you can do, give teams like Forest and Burnley a glimmer of hope because they immediately become so much more up for it.

6. Draw at Burnley and vs Brighton. Win and draw vs Forest and Palace - unsure which one we’ll win.
Certain to lose at Arsenal, and we might lose one of the Brighton and Burnley games as well, so might be 5.

On current form we will struggle against the lot. Lets hope Hojlund can give us a massive lift. Only reality is probably Forest win, but if we cant beat we may as well pack up.
The others could all be bad results. As I said I am hoping Hojlund is the missing link to our play.
