Guest Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 It is becoming clear we need to battle against the teams below us, to make sure we do not get relegated. There is a good possibility we could get sucked down into it. I'm not suggesting we will go down, but there is a great amount of bunching up happening below us. So, where should we get 13 points, to get us to the magical 40? Cardiff (A) Newcastle (A) Norwich (H) Man City (A) Chelsea (H) Stoke (H) Man U (A) Fulham (H) Palace (A) Southampton (H) Swansea (A) Hull (H) Spurs (A) 13 games, 13 points needed. Find them! Red = the important games, the sort we usually lose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cardiff (A) - 1 point Newcastle (A) - 0 Norwich (H) - 1 Man City (A) - 0 Chelsea (H) - 0 Stoke (H) - 0 Man U (A) - 0 Fulham (H) - 3 Palace (A) - 0 Southampton (H) - 0 Swansea (A) - 1 Hull (H) - 3 Spurs (A) - 0 9 points is my prediction under Lambert. I think we will go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't get 13 points from the teams above us, I can see us getting 4 max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradarmstrong_ Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Once again we will rely on there being 3 teams who are worse than us. The football we play isn't worthy of being in the top flight but we'll survive and finish around 15th. Zzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The football we play isn't worthy of being in the top flight but we'll survive and finish around 15th. Zzzzzz. We are Wigan. We'll probably do the same as last season, a great run near the end to save us. Then rinse and repeat next season. Where do you see the points coming from?

We'll probably do the same as last season, a great run near the end to save us. Then rinse and repeat next season. Where do you see the points coming from? No idea anymore. I thought after playing Liverpool off the park then coming from 2 down to beat Albion we were making steps forward , and would beat the likes of West Ham, whilst getting something at Everton, was years before we'd lost at Goodison, another record for PL to add to his CV. I've said before that we were incredibly lucky to get anything against City and Southampton, against Arsenal we scored 2 pens. Play those games again and 9 times out of 10 we'd take a point or 0. Those 3 games where we somehow won have paved over the cracks of countless abysmal performances. If we don't get 4 points minimum from the next 3 games we will be in serious trouble. City, Chelsea and United will all turn us over. I can see us on 33 points after 32 games.which would be very worrying. Hopefully we can put a run together like we did last season, we certainly need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 We needed an ACM last Jan did nothing. Needed one in summer. Did nothing. Still needed it this Jan, tried for Hoolahan but ultimately, did nothing. Guess what , we still struggle to create things for our forwards who are crying out for service. Defence and midfield are not good enough, everyone else strengthened and we stood still. So im not surprised this is happening and these threads are reappearing. Have to beat Cardiff and i think we can get a result at St. James' too, they look poor too atm. But if we lose in Wales things are gonna look very desperate again.

VillaChris Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 You don't need 40 points nowadays, last season Wigan went down on 37 I think. I'd say we'll be o.k on 38 points. It's feasible we could get another 8-9 points away this season so I think we'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 ^ You think we'll win 2 more home games but none away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 That's a really tough run in. Really tough. Well, it's as tough as any other run in that we could have had. I mean, it's 13 out of 19 possible matches, and it's missing 3 of the top 5 teams. We had people going on about our "tough start to the season" for about 20 games, we can't moan about the last 13 as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmarsha_926 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 13 will be needed is West Brom get 17 points, Cardiff get 19 points and Fulham get 21 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MessiWillSignForVilla Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cardiff (A) - Win Newcastle (A) - Lose Norwich (H) - Win Man City (A) - Lose Chelsea (H) - Lose Stoke (H) - Draw Man U (A) - Lose Fulham (H) - Draw Palace (A) - Win Southampton (H) - Draw Swansea (A) - Draw Hull (H) - Win Spurs (A) - Lose So I reckon that's 43 points, I think we'll be safe, and there are definitely 3 worse teams than us in this division imo.
