CB Fry Posted 1 May, 2022 Share Posted 1 May, 2022 3 minutes ago, Saint Pete said: It's a question as you say. I agree it's statistically very unlikely that the 3 teams below us will reach 40 points but unlike you I don't think it is completely impossible. So my preference would be that we pull our finger out and get at least a point against Brentford. I'm not saying that I think it is certain that they will all reach 40 points or anything like certain. Hope that helps your understanding. I want us to beat Brentford as well, if that helps your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 1 May, 2022 Share Posted 1 May, 2022 (edited) Cannot see Leeds getting 2 more wins and a draw in their last 4 (Arsenal and Chelsea) Cannot see Burnley picking up more than 4 points. In their last 4 (away to Villa, and Spurs) Everton - god knows! But I think 9 points. All this is if we do not pick up another point, which of course is possible, but we will hopefully end all this talk of the drop at Brentford. But even if we do not pick up another point, I think we will be safe before the last game. Edited 1 May, 2022 by Dr Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Uwe Posted 1 May, 2022 Share Posted 1 May, 2022 Increasingly likely 40 points will be the bare minimum to stay up this year. We'd be incredibly unlucky to see all the teams below us catch up, but we are out of form at the wrong time (yet again). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiberalCommunist Posted 1 May, 2022 Share Posted 1 May, 2022 It's embarrassing that we are not mathmatically safe by now. But, after the start we had I thought we'd be flirting all the way through the season, so its nice that we got a little break. Lets smash Liverpool, to confirm our fragile survival status.

(There were a few other favourable results I could have picked at random) Yes, but I assume @SNSUN was considering recent results. Actually, if you want to choose one of those, I would take the draw against Leeds from another JWP splendid free kick. If we lose our last 3 matches (very possible) I can see Burnley and Everton overtaking us, but can't see Leeds getting more than 6 more points: which means at worst we'd finish above them on goal difference (assuming we don't get a rogering by Liverpool). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is right. While not mathematically safe, one more point I am confident will be enough. Of all the scary scenarios, the ones I think are most likely are Everton and Burnley catching us. Making Leeds take eight points rather than seven would turn the dial for me, hence saying a draw at Brentford I am sure will do it. However huge wake up call for the club, and if we lose our last three games (which is quite likely ) a reminder that in three of the last five seasons we will have failed to exceed 40 points. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I'm saying is that hypothetically without our 4 most recent points we'd be on 36 with a rubbish GD and perhaps be being talked about as favourites for the drop. Thankfully we did get them so it's moot. I see what you're saying though, that any points we achieved are as important as any other. Over the course of the season our most important result IMO probably goes to the Spurs win, as we rarely come back from behind and Spurs were in good form.

JRM Posted 1 May, 2022 Share Posted 1 May, 2022 3 hours ago, SNSUN said: This. We aren't going down this season but we could well finish 17th as I fail to see where another point is coming from for us. Leeds now look most likely for the drop. One thing to say... if we were in the relegation battle proper, with say 34 points, I'd tip us for relegation. I agree with others that the Arsenal win and the Brighton draw have saved our bacon... 36 points and a poor goal difference may not have been enough. Last season we'd been top of the league and just stayed up, this year we're limping over the finish line, albeit in a season where it looks like more points than usual to be safe , definitely a pattern with Ralph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 2 May, 2022 Share Posted 2 May, 2022 Just reading that Ross County have a chance of European football next season. They have now climbed to 5th, and are in the top half of the split that league has. Vokins has 16 appearances to Ramsey's 8 (with Sims yet to play). Good experience for them, and a decent club relationship for us to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a south coast derby, it’s not the proper one but it still means a little bit more than other games. Plus I went to uni in Bournemouth and had a great laugh there, went to a few games at Dean court at the time when they were utterly dreadful but it was a good crack. And I don’t like forest, never have. Much like Derby I think a good proportion of their fans seem like cunts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
