halfway stage for Spurs. New Year with us now, just need more of the same second half of the season. Taking the next half a dozen fixtures, Everton away looks the toughest, other than that, looks like plenty more points on offer to cement the Top Four position, then the nitty gritty starts with the last dozen games or so, where anything could happen, but at least Spurs should still be very healthily placed come the end of February.
Everton (A)
Leicester (H)
Sunderland (H)
Palace (A)
Norwich (A)
Watford (H)
Surely have to be looking at 12-15 points from that set of fixtures. And with other teams up the top facing each other, Spurs could feasibly be even higher than they are now. One step at a time, flying under the radar nicely. All looking good.
And so season 2015/16 is at the

Like you I would be wanting a lot more than 10 points from those fixtures. If Spurs are to be serious they have to be looking at what I said up to 15 points.

I'm with sandy in that we will and should beat Leicester at home. That's a pretty kind fixture list if I'm going to be honest and the only real games we possibly might not win is Everton away and palace away. We come away with 3 points against Everton then that will be superb

Not to worried about Palace away, Spurs gifted them the win last season, and apparently their best player Bolasie is missing for a few weeks. Their home form isthot that good either, but like the Watford game in my opinion. If Spurs apply themselves properly, then they should win.

Gifted us the win?
That was re-paid earlier this season at the lane if that's the case.
It'll be a good game as our home form is better than the table/results suggest tbh and hopefully (no, not our best player) Bolasie will be back in time for it.

Everton, narrow away win, Leicester, home draw. 4 from 6 has to be minimum expectation. Anything else a bonus imo.
Hoping that Eriksen will start to turn up and that Bentaleb gets some yellow card free playing time under his belt.

I used to work out the prospective league positions of the top 4/6 for the next 6 games but gave up whenever we ineviatbly lost home to a relegation scrapper. Far too unpredictable these days with teams slipping up against lower opposition.
One game at a time

Spurs have been very consistent this season that is why I am looking to the next half a dozen matches. I think little targets have to be set now, second half of the season.

Yes I have noticed Leicester are second, but I would still expect Spurs to beat them. Not disrespecting them, but I think Spurs are a far better side, and will finish in front of them with a bit to spare.

Wish I had your optimism mate! They've been beating pretty much everyone put in front of them. I'd love a win but six points against them and palace?! Not too sure.
Let's hope I'm wrong!
