osmark86 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Expected scores for our remaining games Sunderland 0.7 - 0.3 Villa (so 0-0 most likely) Villa 0.5 - 0.8 Swansea (0-0) Man Utd 1.5 - 0.3 Villa (1-0) Spurs 1.5 - 0.5 Villa (1-0) Villa 1.1 - 0.7 QPR (1-0) Man City 2.0 - 0.3 Villa (2-0) Villa 0.7 - 0.9 Everton (0-0) Villa 0.6 - 1.0 West Ham (0-1) Soton 1.6 - 0.3 Villa (1-0) Villa 1.0 - 0.5 Burnley (1-0) So I'd have us on about 34 points most likely. When you look at the run-ins for the clubs below us, it's hard to see them hitting 34 points (Burnley's next few games are diabolical: they could well still be on 22 points with 6 remaining). Have a funny feeling we're going to beat the Hammers but draw with Burnley. If anything I can guaranteee that we'll see a lot of unexpected results along the way. Beauty and horror of football that is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted March 5, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 5, 2015 IMO all we need to do is beat Sunderland, QPR and Burnley. Those are the 3 must win games for me. If we can sneak some results in-between them (a win against Everton?) all the better, but 35 points will be enough to stay up this year. "All we need to do" - If picking up three wins had been so easy and straight forward we'd be fighting the top three, not the bottom three. I love the optimism in the wake of Tuesday's win, but a speck of perspective shows we struggle to win games, so winning three is not going to be straightforward. Don't football forums seem sometimes like a continuous cycle of Optimism/Optimism-Mitigation/Pessimism/Pessimism-Mitigation ad infinitum? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don_Simon Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 QPR won't win. Have you watched them lately under Chris Ramsey?? I've not seen them but apparently, (according to media!) they did well against Arsenal and should shouldve had points against Hull. Have you seen them play?

Isa Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Spurs are very lucky though. They've been sluggish - possibly the effects of playing the same side three times in six days. They need to massively up their game in the second-half if they are to hold on to the result. Edited March 7, 2015 by Isa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
