Right we are currently on 26 points. Not bad at all.
The Swans have ten games inc New Year’s Day which have some interesting (and possibly) enough chances to stay in touch with hope and expectation.
Nothing is a given. But turning the year on 39 points will always give a side the chance to build and make a play for promotion. Can the Swans find thirteen points from ten games ?

I’m guesssing 21 points with some difficult away games to encounter, hopefully our injury table won’t need to be enlarged . |  |

Can’t see beyond 16 points maximum on current form. We need to get back on track to get more than that. |  |

It will come down to injuries, with our best players fit we can beat anybody, Tuesdays squad and we will struggle. Charlton twice in three weeks will be pivotal. |  | | |

5 Home wins and a home draw, one away win, one draw, two defeats. 20 points. | | | |

2 points a game is pretty good.
👍 |  |

When we look at it replies so far we could turn the year on 42 points at the very least.
That leaves 22 games to get say another 40 points.
Doable.
This is all in our hands with injuries recovering for Saturday which I didn’t include !

The attitude and mindset at St Andrews on Saturday needs to be completely different to our last two away games. More in line with our approach to the Blackburn game. I hope the players are hurting after Tuesday and are vowing to put it right. | |

Youre usually spot on with your assessments so you could very well be right but our home form isn't shabby so I'm hopeful with the correct selections and a fit squad it is doable imo | |

It wasn’t the attitude on Tuesday, it was the personnel (injury enforced).
Fulton, Stamenic and Franco is a horrible midfield combination for me, especially with Widell on the wing, but one thing you’re never going to get from those four is bad attitude. It got worse when we lost our ball player at the back early on.
Even then, it was one of those games that could easily have gone either way. Lincoln and Milwall were similar, gritty performances without much flair. We could just as easily have won or lost all three. | | | |

Spot on.
We didnt have a player in midfield who could put a foot on the ball, hold it then pass it to someone in a good forward position.
Just gets pelters but he changed it a bit when he came on then it got better when stewart and vip came on.
The only way we are going have a chance of drawing or even winning on Saturday is if we play out and out wingers, so its 2 of eom, opoku, yeo and hopefully monga, along with stamenic and fulton with franco in midfield, stewart up front, we have to press them hard and get the ball forward to the wingers and front man. |  | | |

Another reason for us to start blooding fringe players . We are going to need them sooner or later thats a fact Parente Iorpenda Monga We should have seen more of up to now in my opinion . We are approaching the halfway point in the season soon . Tymon for instance hasnt had a break , fatigue does not not enhance performance in any way and makes injury more likely. | | | |

I think it’s fair to say that if we put that same side out at Birmingham, especially if Welsh doesn’t make it, we’d do very well to get a result and if we did it would be battling out a backs against the wall type performance like we did at Milwall.
I think it’s really harsh to criticise attitude though, we just didn’t have the players that make us tick available. If that Stewart shot was Agee inches lower (and it should have been) we would be top of the league and calling it a gutsy performance. We couldn’t get a grip on midfield in the first half, but as you say, we were stacked with industrious players and lacked a playmaker. | | | |

Some good points and observations as you say had tjat Stewart goal gone in then we could well be sitting on top of the league and without a lot of the noise generated despite it being a bad day at the office from us | |

Thats whats so great about the C/Ship most of the time , fine margins , we could well have won that game but didn't due to a missed opportunity .I dont think we're consistant enough to finish anywhere near top two but the play offs are doable. | |

An injury time winner went against us a couple of minutes after we should have won the game. No arguments we went at our best, we didn’t have the guile of Eustaquio, Eom or Welsh. Second half noticeably better when Just came on.
We’ve played worse than that and won this season.
Tomorrow is a big ask with Eustaquio still out and Welsh in the balance though. | | | |

We could do with Modric. | | | |

Jokes aside, we need to find cover/competition for Eustaquio. We’re a different team when he’s not playing. | | | |

I think we need someone who can quickly play the ball, possibly it could be Walta. We seem to be playing a pressing player at the top of midfield (Widell prior to Tuesday) to create the space for Eustaquio to dictate play quickly. I have always championed Eom at 10 but he's a runner and crosser more than a playmaker. | | | |

If we’re going to play people out of position, which Matos has recently with Widell and Franco, I’d rather try Welsh there than Walta. It’s a delicate position though. Realistic answer isn’t there are funds available in January, that’s where I’d be prioritising. | | | |

It has been said that we are going to rectify the homegrown situation in January. Start with another playmaker as back up to Eustaquio. Much as Matos doesn't like them a loan deal could solve the problem. | | | |

I know I’m very much in the minority, but I’m all in favour of them
IF…they are better than the players we have or could reasonably expect to get. Marc Guehi, Conor Gallagher, Rhian Brewster level players in that position.
I’m not bothered about developing other teams players if it gets us promoted. | | | |

Thing is there, if the Swans did get promoted they would in some cases want to stay. | |
