Sheaf Saint Posted April 20 Posted April 20 No. We might beat them, but I can't see where else we would get the required points from in the other 4 games (Fulham H, Man City A, Everton A, Arsenal H). Best we can possibly hope for now is 15 points I reckon. 3
Harry_SFC Posted April 20 Posted April 20 No but i do think it's important that we end the season with a few positive results. Having said that the last 3 games look like write offs to me. Would absolutely love it if we did manage to ruin the Goodison farewell party though. 1 1

Lighthouse Posted April 20 Posted April 20 No. West Ham are clearly out of sorts and we did well to get a point but we're not finding another seven.

Expand Even if Leicester didn't get any more points this season, we'd probably need more than 7 points due to our GD being 9 behind Leicester. 1
beatlesaint Posted April 20 Posted April 20 No, we got a point against a bloody awful team, we might pick up another point or two, might even beat Leicester but we arent getting anywhere near.
danjosaint Posted April 20 Posted April 20 To be fair we should've beaten Brighton and Ipswich under RM, Palace and West ham yesterday so if we had any sort of game management we'd be 8pts better off
Convict Colony Posted April 20 Posted April 20 This is like who can eat the nicest shit sandwich, we are still eating shit so doesn't matter.

coalman Posted April 20 Posted April 20 I reckon that we'll be level on points with them by the 9th/10th August. 7

Holmes_and_Watson Posted April 20 Posted April 20 We could catch Vestergaard, as he's so slow. Their points total? Don't seem to care much whether we get dumped out last or second last. Just want to get more than Derby did. 1
woodsaint1 Posted April 20 Posted April 20 Even if we did (highly highly unlikely) what would it matter? 19th or 20th is still a pile of steaming shit 1

The important issue is the filtering of crap from the squad ready for the new season and a manager who knows how to play proper football. Not possession based bore-fest, anti-football.

Sarnia Cherie Posted April 21 Posted April 21 No way are we getting maximum points from the last games. Not with the likes of Fulham, City and Arsenal lying in wait.
LGTL Posted April 21 Posted April 21 We have a tough run in even if you discount the fact we’ve been absolutely pathetic all season. Just one more point will do me please. 1

Maggie May Posted April 21 Posted April 21 Our aim should be to finish as close to them as possible. They’ve been atrocious, on par with us I’d say. Shame we’ve been the team trying not to get the worst ever points tally as there’s been a lot less focus on them being so bad.
