whelk Posted 22 January, 2018 Author Share Posted 22 January, 2018 Is anyone actually not delighted about swansea taking the lead?! Come on. If we're to stay up it'll be because we start winning games and pull clear of at least 3 sides. We'd have to be way better than swansea. Will be delighted if they beat liverpool, especially if VVD fcks up. One of the annoying things about being in a relegation fight is you can’t enjoy the normally enjoyable results. Offset by having more of an an interest in so many games ie if they are near us please let them lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be delighted if they beat liverpool, especially if VVD fcks up. This is what I was thinking. Given how congested it is, and that everyone from Everton and below are in trouble, it’s guaranteed that teams around us will drop points each week. So as long as we concentrate on our own form, we don’t need to rely on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to Swansea, they changed their manager and are now beginning to reap the rewards. Just can't see us ever getting a win against a half decent side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 22 January, 2018 Share Posted 22 January, 2018 It's too early to worry too much about other results, especially as it is so congested. It's very hard to predict who the final bottom three will be. We have enough games left to get the points that will keep us up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very hard to predict who the final bottom three will be. We have enough games left to get the points that will keep us up. True, but I'd much rather Swansea get beaten and maintain the gap. They are certainly well organised tonight, not sitting as deep as we often have when under the cosh - and they have some counter attacking threat.

whelk Posted 22 January, 2018 Author Share Posted 22 January, 2018 I just think if we're worried about Swansea then we're down. If we're staying uo, it'll be because we start playing to potential and push on to 40 points. Not because we rely on Swansea losing their games. Liverpool are majorly fcking up. Enjoy it. Is that the power of negative thinking at work? Simple mathematics means the more clubs don’t take from teams not in relegation fight makes it easier to survive so less likely to have to take something from City on final day. I love this complacency that we can’t worry about other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 22 January, 2018 Share Posted 22 January, 2018 Swansea still look extremely limited, but organised. Still think they'll go down. You don't look at them and think they're underperforming and could be higher. They're where you'd expect with a team that limited. But fair play for getting them fighting. Mawson is their only player I'd want now really. I think you are underrating them and overrating us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 22 January, 2018 Share Posted 22 January, 2018 When 37 points is probably enough to stay up, anytime a team gets 3 points is massive. That's one-fifth of the points we need.

Saint-Fred Posted 23 January, 2018 Share Posted 23 January, 2018 (edited) Worst form in the league. Genuine question Where does this come from? I know we haven't won in 11 but most form tables aren't created that way..I couldn't tell you how many points Watford got in the same 11 games, as they have only won once in that time I think? In most form tables (most are over 6 games) we aren't the worst? Brighton, Huddersfield and Everton to name 3 have worse form over e last 6 games...I think even Burnley have worse form over the last 6..despite us not winning. http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/formtabelle/wettbewerb/GB1?saison_id=2017&min=15&max=25 Update this site does what ever period you want..last ten games, Brighton and Watford have worse form!

Topcat Posted 23 January, 2018 Share Posted 23 January, 2018 how many more games do we not win and keeping saying form can change? We may have blown the opportunity of an easier set of games in the first half of the season. One win and a draw in the next two games is essential, to have a chance of avoiding relegation. Overall we have 7 games against relegation rivals, 3 at home , 4 away. Win those home games and draw those aways brings us to 35 points and importantly we surrender few points to rivals. Us 13 Them 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saintsmike25 Posted 23 January, 2018 Share Posted 23 January, 2018 Just done a predictor - i had us drawing a few games and losing others and only beating Bournemouth and Brighton - yet we still stayed up, Brighton, Swansea, Huddersfield go down in my predictor, Newcastle and West Ham get drawn into it, and i was a bit too kind to Watford who are in freefall. I think people forget that victories seriously see us rise up - as our goal difference is superior to many teams around us. I think our ability to pick up draws in tough games might be the key, but i can also see our form picking up and other teams dipping. Again, the Brighton game and West Brom game will define our season and we need 3 points (a win in either game) to help us. But what i reckon will happen is a draw in both games - which isn't enough.
