Brumstopdogs Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I reckon from the 3 away games at best we'll get a point (possibly Swansea). Therefore IMO we'll need a win from either of the 2 home games and what better time to start than tomorrow. That should just about keep us up.

jacketspuds Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I think we need 3 points to definitely be safe but i'd take a point today in a heartbeat. Even we drew today and Fulham, Cardiff and Sunderland lost, which is quite feasible, all would need 2 wins from 3 (3 from 4 in Sunderland's case) to overtake us because of the GD. Norwich would also then need a win and a draw from their horrific fixture list, which is also very tricky. However, 3 points today would be amazing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismail-villa Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If we win today can we lock this thread and hope to never create a relegation thread for many, many years . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 If we win any game at all I think it will be the Hull game as they will have their minds on the cup final at the time we play them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Because of goal difference, Fulham need either 2 wins or a win and 2 draws to finish above us, assuming we pick up 0 points. Hull (H), Stoke (A), Palace (H). They can definitely do it, if we pick up 2 more points though I think it's a bit too much for them to get 7 points.

Dodgyknees Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 All these takeover rumours are making me even more nervous about relegation. How the feck are we in this position again? This season has been so disappointing. Not trying to make excuses, but I think those 3 big injuries to Okore, Benteke and Kozak have really **** us over this season. The club wasn't prepared, the squad wasn't big enough, we didn't do enough in January, we didn't and don't have a plan B. So even though the injuries haven't helped, the piss poor management and 'bargain basement' management from top to bottom is the reason we are in this position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Could've done with Cardiff losing that game as opposed to a draw, Swansea won last minute too. That said I'm still not convinced by how we play but I think the bottom 3 at the moment have some tough fixtures coming up so we may not need to be convincing. Wouldn't say we are safe yet.

kurtsimonw Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 1 point further from relegation with less games for the clubs down there to catch us. Decent result with Fulham losing and Cardiff failing to win isn't too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Only one more point needed now in my opinion. Swansea is a good match to have as we seem to prefer playing against such teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Swansea late winner might be a blessing as they're basically 7 points clear with 3 games to go, they might feel safe now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Only one more point needed now in my opinion. Swansea is a good match to have as we seem to prefer playing against such teams. Fulham and Cardiff are both 5 points behind, both have worse goal difference.. Cardiff have to play Chelsea as one of their games, so have to win both of the other games - Sunderland and Newcastle I think? Not sure who Fulham have got. But I do agree, one more point..

Dodgyknees Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Fulham have Hull at home, Stoke away and Palace at home. They could get two wins at home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) If I've got this correct, which is no certain thing... It would take one of Cardiff or Fulham to win 2 of their final 3 games to leapfrog us now. (A win and 2 draws wouldn't be enough due to goal difference) Cardiff have: Sunderland away - relegation rival Newcastle away - awful form Chelsea home - might still be fighting for the title Fulham have: Hull home - focus drifting to FA Cup Final? Stoke away - safe Crystal Palace home - safe, but in great form Sunderland would have to win 3 (and likely draw 1 too because of GD) to do the same. They have: Chelsea away - challenging for the title Cardiff home - relegation rival Man United away West Brom home - relegation rival Swansea home - possible relegation rival, although they're likely safe. There's West Brom and Norwich to consider too. It's going to be edgy as both Fulham and Cardiff are capable of it.
