Danbert Posted 14 January, 2020 Share Posted 14 January, 2020 Out as far as 28/1 following today's defeats for Villa and Bournemouth You can get 150/1 on Everton getting relegated, despite them having the same number of points as we do. Southampton finishing above Everton is 7/4 on SkyBet. Think I might have some of that, what do others think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southampton finishing above Everton is 7/4 on SkyBet. Think I might have some of that, what do others think? They have a decent squad, and more importantly now have a world-class manager. We could finish ahead of them, but I wouldn't touch 150/1 on them getting relegated with a barge pole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamesaint Posted 17 January, 2020 Share Posted 17 January, 2020 We will know more after Saturday but a team who I think could struggle im the second half of the season is Wolves. I am not saying that they will be relegated but the spread betting firms have them the equivalent of 50/1 to finish in the bottom 6. For them to finish lower the odds escalate (eg 100/1 to finish 5th from bottom). This seems huge odds to me. They have already played more matches this season than anyone else and their performance last night was described by many as "tired". They are beginning to suffer from injuries and have big European matches to come. No wins in the last 5 games, they dont look healthy to me. On the balance of things, whilst they will I think struggle in the second half of the season they will need to really plummet to finish 6th from bottom. However they should not be 50/1 and there is a slom possibility of a big payout here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a few quid on that. Bottom 6 is a bit unlikely though, but a small bet at 50's is tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted 18 January, 2020 Share Posted 18 January, 2020 Back to 20/1 after today’s surrender Mate text earlier and said a couple bookies are suggesting they might payout on Liverpool winning the league if Liverpool win again tomorrow?

If it is correct that Ralph says he doesn't need any strengthening of the squd this month I would suspect the bottom 6 is not such a bad bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 21 January, 2020 Share Posted 21 January, 2020 That’s the win for me that has virtually seen us safe (at the very least, obvs should be looking higher now). Three wins away from the 40 point mark (which will be close to the safety mark this year IMO (maybe 38/39), playing as we have been doing, 3 wins from 14 is a no brainer. Even if we resort to an average of a point a game, that’d put us on 45 points and well clear, but we should be looking at 50+ points this season.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 22 January, 2020 Share Posted 22 January, 2020 Norwich, Bournemouth & Brighton going for me. The latter have plummeted since getting excited and bizarrely giving Potter a new contract after only a few months.

A few will improve but you’re talking about 6 crap teams getting around 19 points from their last 14 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure it's happened before I don’t know but given the current scoring rate, the cut off for 43 points is Burnley in 14th. You’d need 4 of the 5 teams below them to all have a massive upturn in form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 22 January, 2020 Share Posted 22 January, 2020 Incredible turnaround by Ralph and the team. 19th with 8 points after 12 games, now 9th with 31 points after 24 games.

Jimmy_D Posted 22 January, 2020 Share Posted 22 January, 2020 http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Southampton.html On the stats website that estimates everyone's strength and then simulates the rest of the season thousands of times after each round of fixtures. Looks like 38 points would be almost exactly 50/50 to go down. Anything above that and it drops off dramatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams in the relegation zone this season are on 17, 23 and 23 points with 14/15 games to go. Basically it just looks like two teams will go down in the 37-39 point bracket. The bar is higher than last year but 43 would be a fairly large anomaly. For that you’d usually need the bottom two in the Villa/Derby points area from a few years ago, giving 4-6 points to pretty much everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we need another 12 points to be completely , utterly safe and another 24 to have the remotest sniff of a European place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forester Posted 22 January, 2020 Share Posted 22 January, 2020 I think the league table is, if anything, under stating how strong our position is. We have played five teams for the second time, and at the time of playing them all five were in the top half of the table. And we have won four of the five. So, by definition, we have the entire bottom half of the table yet to play and only four teams in the top half. Many of our opponents will have a much tougher run in than us. And so it is by no means stupid to think about finishing in that top seven and, dependent on cup winners, a European spot. We also have only one of our squad injured (possibly two after last night) which again contrasts greatly with many others. We already have more points at this stage than the season under Konkani when we finished sixth. So dare to dream.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all sound logic, but we have really struggled to beat teams below us in recent seasons. Didn't we go about two years without beating a newly promoted team? Actually, ignore that because we have already won all three of those games this season so far - Sheff Utd and Villa away, and Norwich at home. The signs are good indeed.
