Shroppie Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 If we replicate our form so far this season, about 15. Not enough. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchards Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 Depends if we have a muppet in charge. I'm confident enough to say the right manager and spirit from the fans will have us sitting in 10th comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatlesaint Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 even with the most optimistic hat on I cannot see how the hell we are getting enough points to survive out of those fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfahaji Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 Split the games into four categories: City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham (H), Arsenal (A) - maybe 1 point from one of these games somewhere. Everton, Leicester, Burnley, Newcastle (A) - difficult places to go, might get a win or a couple of draws at best. Watford, West Ham, West Brom, Swansea (A) - probably our best chance of picking up points away from home, but if they're still in the relegation dogfight when we play them won't be easy. A couple of wins and a draw, optimistic? Stoke, Bournemouth, Brighton (H) - must win games, but I doubt we will, especially as Bournemouth & Brighton have extra bite. 2 wins and a draw. So, being fairly optimistic - because, given what we've seen this season, what evidence is there that we can beat any team that isn't in disarray? - that gives us 5 wins and 4 draws. 20 + 19 = 39. Jeez, that's not good. Not good at all. If Pellegrino stays I can only really see us picking between 10 and 15 points and therefore going down.

Saint86 Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 The way we are playing at the moment, I wouldn't feel confident predicting a single win. We are in free fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Codger Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 I am confident we have the players to stay up. I am concerned in equal measure that we don't have a team good enough to stay up. A new manager (more-or-less anybody will be better than the current incumbent) could turn things around quite quickly. Sadly, after Mr Kreuger's interview yesterday, a change of manager seems unlikely. On the bright side, only three clubs can be relegated and there are several other candidates who may be worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 We had such a straight forward start to the season, that's where we needed to accumulate our points to give us a cushion during our normal winter slumber. We didn't, and thus we are now in for a long 2nd half of the season where we will somehow need to perform better and get more points from a tough set of games. It's very worrying.

steveo Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 Under the current set up, with no new faces, will we lucky to reach 30 pts. IF things change then you would hope that we may get more than that, but we are looking at relegation, it has been total mis-management from the very top down.

Shroppie Posted 3 January, 2018 Share Posted 3 January, 2018 The damage has been done and now we have to overachieve to stay up. We lost points again and again early in the season: Swansea - 2 Watford - at least 1 Man U (h) - 1. Yes, we should have got a point Stoke at least 1. Very poor team. Newcastle 2 Burnley 3 Add to that late dropped points v Arsenal and Man C and we're down 13 points. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topcat Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 A bad season for us when the top 6 reassert the gap on the rest? 16 games left but only 7 at home. Of the home games 4 are against top 6 sides. Which leaves just 3 against teams in places 10 to the bottom, all of which are likely to be relegation fights. One draw vs the top 6 and 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss against the bottom 10 produces just 5 points for the home games. Of the 9 away games, 1 is vs a top 6 and 3 are vs 7th,8th and 9th (Burnley, Everton & Leicester). Can we nick a win from them? Looks doubtful. We need some luck otherwise, 2 draws at most from these. Which leaves 5 away games against the "bottom" sides. One win, 2 draws and 2 losses. = 5 points. Overall a total of 12 more points. Which takes us to 32 points same as the prem relegation season. In the past ten seasons, the average number of points required to keep out of the relegation zone is 36. The schedule looks very tough unless we can nick a few extra wins against the form. Pray for a couple of those or that Stoke, West Brom and Swansea do worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 Waste of time, we're as good as down now and I'm an optimist! How can we possibly get the equivalent of 6 wins from the remaining fixtures when we've managed 4 all season. By all means have a go at me for being negative but please be realistic before you have a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shroppie Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 (edited) It doesn't look good. I'm still hoping for a turnaround, but we've left the new manager option too late. The damage was done early on when we had easier fixtures but didn't build a solid base. The alarm bells should have been ringing, but because we were apparently mid-table there was too much complacency.

The same form to date would bring us to 34 points, but many teams have got better than the earlier part of the season and our recent form is bottom of the table.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk It does look that way. As several posters earlier have said, we dropped points under this manager vs easier fixtures and then went into December knowing that it was a) going to get tougher and b) that we needed a new manager in place ready to agree signings right now.

S-Clarke Posted 5 January, 2018 Share Posted 5 January, 2018 (edited) fwiw, Leicester were on 21 points and in 17th on the 12th Feb last year - after 25 games. They finished on 44. Although the key caveat there is that they changed their manager after the 12th Feb. But they did just keep the 'caretaker' on rather than appoint new.
