P3te Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 People think we're going to beat Hull? Really??? I mean I expect Hull to score 1 maybe 2 and not sure where our goals are coming from. We can lose to Hull and still end up safe come the end of next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can lose to Hull and still end up safe come the end of next weekend I'm aware of that. I would rather not leave it up to Chelsea who may have little to play for to possibly save us.

Villarocker Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Now this is how its looking simplified! Even Lambert would understand! #Norwich need to get 4 points from:Chelsea (Away)Arsenal (Home)Fulham need to get 5 points from:Stoke (Away)Palace (Home)Cardiff need to get 6 points from:Sunderland (Away)Newcastle (Away)Chelsea (Home)Sunderland need to get 7 points from:Cardiff (Home)Man United (Away)Baggies (Home)Swansea (Home) I think Fulham will win both games because their opponents have nothing to play for. I think Sunderland can get 7 points from those fixtures and, I also think Cardiff can get 6 points. I think they'll beat Chelsea on the last day.

1974Centenary Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The fact that were here discussing other teams results is a sad condemnation of were we are as a club, again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amo69 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I think we will be safe after the next round of fixtures. Non of this down to the last game business. We can then all focus our attentions on what next? Edited April 26, 2014 by Amo69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoncb Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Can see Sunderland getting enough points but not the rest. Norwich, Fulham, Cardiff to go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to bet any amount of money you like that that scenario will not happen. Talk about wetting the bed... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) For us to go down, the most likely way is for Fulham/Cardiff/Sunderland to finish above us, I think everyone would agree. Norwich, given 5 straight defeats and Chelsea/Arsenal to come, are unlikely to pick up the 4 points necessary. So for us to stay up. If Sunderland/Cardiff is a draw If EITHER Fulham/Cardiff drop any points for the remainder of the season, we are safe. If Sunderland win Same scenario, if Fulham/Cardiff drop any points, we're safe. If Cardiff win This in my opinion is the worst scenario. We'd need 1 of 3 things to happen. -Fulham to drop points -Cardiff to fail to win either of their remaining 2 fixtures (Newcastle (A), Chelsea (H)) -Sunderland to lose 1 or 2 draw of their remaining 3 fixtures (Man U (A), West Brom (H), Swansea (H)) Edited April 27, 2014 by kurtsimonw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Really hoping Chelsea can get a win today. We really need them motivated for the next few weeks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post nick76 Posted April 27, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 27, 2014 How crazy is this situation! We are all contemplating that we will lose the next three games aren't we! That would mean we would lose 8 of our last 9 games and get 1 point out of 27 points. To even think that shows how far we have fallen and where our expectations are. That's not relegation form, that's end of the world form......yet here we stand contemplating that and relying on others to fall so we can crawl over the line to safety. I know I'm stating the obvious but I just wanted to take a moment to reflect on that chilling situation. Forgetting the relegation battle for the moment because I believe that the others teams will fall and we'll be ok even if we get no more points. It's more that just how truly awful we are. 18 defeats in 35 games, horrendous home form, three 4-1 defeats in the last six games, 5 defeats in the last six games and now contemplating 3 further defeats..... Just shocking!!! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Sunderland 7 points, cardiff 1, fulham 4, and norwich 3. If we lose all 3 games we stay up on goal difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Fulham lose to Stoke, Cardiff to Chelsea and Norwich lose both their games and we stay up, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Fulham lose to Stoke, Cardiff to Chelsea and Norwich lose both their games and we stay up, right? Yes. Even if Cardiff beat Chelsea in that scenario, we'd still stay up. Fulham dropping any points and Norwich losing a single game means we can't go down.

Dodgyknees Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 We need to have a huge clear out of staff, and then the same with players. Too many not good enough - Baker, Luna, Sylla - and too many who don't put in nearly enough effort - Gabby, Weimann. And then we need to look at proper reinforcements, not players who are cheap.
