Just keep getting the odd win and the odd draw and we'll eventually close the gap. Yes but we are going to loose a few games as well, with tough fixtures ahead and the gap will widen further.

useless Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 We're going to lose a few games that's impossible to avoid, but so will every other team in the division. We just have to hope our relegation rivals lose more than we do. It would be nice to win ten games on the bounce, but it isn't our only hope.

Guest av1 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I can't see us scoring 10 goals let alone winning 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 If we sign a top striker, then I think we'll survive. If not, survival is still possible but less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Can't see more than 3 points in the next 3 games West Ham (a) Norwich (h) Liverpool (h). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to average nearly 1.7 pts a game in our last 15 games. I admire your optimism but that is extremely unlikely even if we signed Luis Suarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read my post I referred to when Leicester were on their "unbeaten" run not when they were at the end of January. We're currently on an unbeaten run in the league (albeit a small one) but we're not winning enough or even looking like winning games without a huge slice of luck. Leicester were winning games when they were on their unbeaten run and playing very well as well. Ahem. I did miss your point then yes. In which case, is drawing games not better than losing them? It doesn't automatically stand to reason that this is as good as it gets and that we will lose the next five. We might, but we stand a better chance not to playing as we are than how we were. Finding form, of any kind, is a start. Too late? Maybe. If Everton win tomorrow the gap is down to 9. A point a game, on average, will see us safe.

It's not for me to decide who, but I'm sure there are plenty of strikers out there who'd be willing to sign for us, even if only until the end of the season. The only thing stopping us from signing a decent striker is the club trying, now's the time to be aggressive in the transfer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admire your optimism but that is extremely unlikely even if we signed Luis Suarez 8 wins and 7 losses would get us 37 pts wouldn't it - that is not impossible with a good run in. Whether it will be enough is in the hands of the footballing Gods. The way form and results have gone this year I don't really see any game as unwinnable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewie Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not 100% scientifically accurate, but it is somewhat possible for the league to still flip on it's head and us win it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
