First 8 fixtures - Good Vibrations or God Only Knows?
Chelsea v West Ham
West Ham v Bournemouth
Man City v West Ham
West Ham v Watford
West Brom v West Ham
West Ham v Southampton
West Ham v Middlesbrough
Crystal Palace v West Ham
Think given the circumstances 12 would be the least I would hope for. Anything less would certainly be a disappointment, and 14 or more would, imo, be a terrific start.
For comparison, we averaged just below 1.66 points per game last year, so would need 13 to keep that up for these 8 games.
As always, this isn't a prediction thread, it is a 'what is your least expectation from these games' question.

Teams can fly out the blocks or they can fall away quick
Again out of the possible 24 I'd like to see at least 12

Depends on signings up front and at full back if we get good 1s then add another win to the list and a draw at palace

I am going for 16 but think we might get lucky and pick up a point at City. I am far too optimistic for my own good!
But what would be the least you would take as a reasonable start?

12 points would be decent. 14 excellent. Any more than that we will all be shouting that we could be champions!
