Can Cfc close the gap to a top four place?

Can we close the gap ? Yes of course

Can we get top four this season from where we are now ? I seriously doubt it. We'd need to go on an incredible run akin to title winning form.

This season is irrelevant. It's all about what condition we're in going into the start of next season and we're clearly going to be much much stronger.

Totally agree

Well, this season is both relevant & irrelevant.

Relevant in terms that the investment that has gone in this window will come with an expectation of improvement by both the squad & Potter.

Ideally it would be nice to see an identity / style emerge , coupled with a strong sense of competitiveness.

Finishing more than two or three points off of 4th place will at the very least will be seen as poor.

Irrelevant in as much the investment largely has gone in , the manager has been backed, he will be given time, unless there is continuation of the lacklustre, aimless direction we have been heading.

Agreed it is all about the condition that we start next season in.

Come on you blues, KTBFFH!

My take on the irrelevance of this season is purely where we finish. There is plenty of relevance from a future perspective though of course.

Yes,

The destination has relevance.

But surely the journey is not irrelevant.

Yeah me too. I can’t get too excited about the rest of this season tbh.

Few more dodgy results in the short term while they are still getting used to Potter and he’s trying to find a settled team bedding in the new signings, so no, I don’t think they’ll make top 4.

I think they’ll be playing well and on a good run come the end of the season though and will be in peoples minds by May that they’re nailed on for top 4 next season if not a serious contender for the league.

Next season ?

Top 4 is a must ,

After that its a grind to be a top two contender.

Imo.

Too late for top 4 this season. Just need to start improving so we are set up for next season.
