Arj Guy Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Need to win our home games against Everton and especially West Ham or we are down. Edited April 8, 2015 by Arj Guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCarew Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Tottenham's defence is a shambles. So I can see us scoring a few goals. Will we be able to keep Harry Kane quiet? Well that's huge ask. If Richardson plays we will lose. ... daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGray1985 Posted April 8, 2015 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2015 Had we won today I would have felt very confident of staying up, though at least we didn't lose. We have to make our home form better or we are down. All remaining home games we 'could' win, but we our record in the last 4 years that is laughable. 2 wins and versus Burnley, Everton and West Ham would probably keep us up( even 4 points probably), plus a random result away from home. I think it may go down to Burnley at home which could be interesting. 33 points could probably be enough, but due to our GD I think 34 is the mark we need to hit. Two wins should easily be enough - a win a two draws perhaps more likely. I can see us getting that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I don't think at this stage of the season you should be looking too far ahead and trying to predict results as logic seems to go out the window and unexpected results do seem to be more frequent. You can only really look at the here and now. We sit 3 points and 2 places above the relegation zone. Others do have games in hand but I'd much rather have the points on the board. I guess it is human nature that we think that it is other teams that have been dire for almost the whole of the season that will pick up unlikely results and go on a little run. I'd say the way we play now though we are just as likely as any side to pick up an unexpected result or two. I don't know at what point we will be safe but I am still very confident that we will be. Out of interest if given the choice now would anyone take going into the last game of the season knowing three points would see us safe?

If they are already safe/already down, yes. Otherwise no chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Beat Everton and West Ham and we will be ok. Or, draw two and win one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyGray1985 Posted April 8, 2015 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2015 Even in my most optimistic dreams I can't see us needing nothing from the Burnley game. We will have to play for the 3 points anyway, as setting up for a draw will be too risky. Prescriptions of sedatives will soar in May 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Let's hope Arsenal and Chelsea don't slip up this weekend. Would be typical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 We needed to win last night. As it is I think it'll go down to the Burnley game, and I wouldn't fancy us to get anything because we are lightweight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I still think we'll beat Spurs. Because narrative. Narrative works both ways, ie the players he 'nurtured' coming back to haunt him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrinityRoadSteps Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have just done the predictor thing. I have us finishing 16th. I have tried to be as fair as I can and not let heart rule head. My bottom three ends up as Leicester Hull and.........Albion. they have a brutal set of fixtures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabby Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 QPR have a guaranteed 3pts vs. Newcastle at home in their run in It's a shame we lost to them as that has given them a nice buffer as they are useless and only team currently with more injuries than us.I wouldn't bet on them winning again this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 I have just done the predictor thing. I have us finishing 16th. I have tried to be as fair as I can and not let heart rule head. My bottom three ends up as Leicester Hull and.........Albion. they have a brutal set of fixtures. Had completely discounted WBA but if they only muster a draw with Leicester this weekend then it gets very interesting - that is the last game of theirs they would call winnable in their current form - they may not get another point after that, so could finish on 34 points. There's always one team who just sink at this point of the season. Sunderland also, if Palace hold them to at least a draw this weekend, then depending on their mentality, Leicester home is there best hope of 3 points until end of the season. They could easily finish the season on or near 34 points. Trouble is I also have QPR, Burnley and us all finishing on 34 points also. Hull and Leicester down IMHO.

Demitri_C Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 QPR are in form we are not. The difference is QPR battered west brom and followed it up. we beat sunderland and then lost the swansea game which was a really poor result in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) Newcastle I think will be safe in spite of their poor squad and dreadful form. They probably only need one point to be sure. The rest could all feature. West Brom 33 Sunderland 29 Aston Villa 29 Hull 28 QPR 26 Burnley 26 Leicester 22 WBA have Leicester, Liverpool and Chelsea at home; Palace, United, Newcastle and Arsenal away. I would think they could muster 4 points from that, which ought to be enough, but they'll be worried if they don't beat Leicester. 37 points. Sunderland have Palace, Saints and Leicester at home; Stoke, Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea away. Could see them getting between 4 and 7 points, but they'll be right in it. 33-36 points Villa have Everton, West Ham and Burnley at home; Spurs, City, and Southampton away. I think we'll take 5-8 points - hopefully closer to the the latter. 34-37 points Hull have Liverpool, Arsenal, Burnley and United at home; Saints, Palace and Spurs away. Hard to call their fixtures, they're tough but you just never know at this point. Could get anything between 2 and 8 points. 30-36. QPR have Chelsea, West Ham and Newcastle at home; Liverpool, Man City and Leicester away. I think they'll get 4-10 points. 30-36. Burnley have Arsenal, Leicester, Stoke at home; Everton, West Ham, Hull and Villa away. Would can see 7-9 points there, I think they could get out of it. 33-35. Leicester have Swansea, Chelsea, Newcastle, Southampton, QPR at home; West Brom, Burnley and Sunderand away. It's a great run in, but they have a lot to do. Best I can see is 11 points, more likely is about 7. 29-33. The other thing to remember is that there's a lot of teams playing each other in there, so the best case scenario can't happen for all the clubs. I just wanted to do this because there are a lot of people saying 'we didn't win last night, so now our goose is cooked' etc. It's very much in our hands, and we're a better team and with better fixtures than a lot of the others down there.

AndyGray1985 Posted April 8, 2015 Visiting Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2015 Newcastle are out of it - agree completely. WBA should be getting at least 2-3 points, so will be safe too (unfortunately) Sunderland IMO could get more than 7 points from those fixtures - 4 of those opponents could potentially be on the beach when they play them. I'd say about 20% chance of them going down atm. It's 3 out of Villa, Burnley, Hull, QPR and Leicester as I see it, and of those Villa should be slight favourites for nicking 16th. Playing Burnley last could be diabolic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sunderland aren't out of it yet, there's a lot pressure on them for the Leicester and Palace games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
