I think if we can get 15 points from this it will be exceptional. More likely is around 10-12 which is still OK. I'm only looking at 2 wins and maybe 5 draws with at least 1 loss. It's actually an interesting lot of fixtures because we do have the capability to win 3 or 4.

I'm going for 24 points, 8 games 8 wins, "then like my dreams they fade and die" ah well, the dream was good while it lasted!

Next three games are all away, but the Hammers have a legitimate chance of winning them all. I would hope to see a minimum of 5 pts. from those games.

For the three games after that (Newcastle, @Pompey, Wigan) I would be happy with 4 pts.

Then Charlton and Chelski, it would be nice if the Addicks were still in a slump for that match, but I wouldn't count on any points from those two matches.

So I may be taking a glass-half-empty look at things, but come January 3, I'll be satified if the Hammers are sitting on 28 points.

[northbankbar]

Yeah - late 20's would be a very good points tally to take into the relative calm of January.
We've got to keep that 9 points or so away from third from bottom.
The table may look somewhat different come Jan 3rd.

[panicfc]

I'd like to see 18-21 points.

I don't like Roy Keane, but dammit if we sign him, I won't hate him as much.

[Sxboy66]

I reckon 14 points from that lot. That'll put us on 33pts at the start of January and I'd be a Happy Hammer with that tally. :)

COME ON YOU IRONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We never beat Everton and Chelski are quite strong (from what I've heard) but the other games are all winable (Is that a real word?) so I'm going to guess 14 points leaving us on 33 and repeating SX almost word for word. :cool:

Three down, only 21 to go! I'm the eternal optomist. ;)
