Fingers crossed this means our survival challenge isn't insurmountable We would have to win a game between now and the end of the season to stand a chance. We wont. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hows their whole season form apart from the 6-8 mini run? I’d be more satisfied if Watford failed to beat Southampton tomorrow. Let’s wait and see. We need to atleast be in touch after our next two. I’d be over moon if we beat Liverpool but in reality not harming our goal differnce in these 3 games with our rivals not gaining points is the most important part. Everyone saw how Watford appeared. We’re better than the other 3 since the restart. It’s that we’re afraid they pickup some form soon. Now I’m more relaxed. There is a chance that we will sill be the same going into Liverpool game. Still a lot to go. It’s a relegation battle, we might not benefit directly the same week, but at the end of season it’s different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdulaziz1 Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 That’s what I kept saying, we played much better than other relegation teams. Chelsea and Wolves combined haven’t done usbwhat Saints done to Watford. People kept saying Watford will stay because of their win against Liverpool, I agree they have the most desire and fight and character. But apart from their mini-run last December their form is much worse than us. What I fear is some of them start getting form. Otherwise we’re slightly better so far: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danceoftheshamen Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Well that Saints win at Watford today was as welcome as the Burnley win against them last week......but! We need about another 9 of those type of "winnable" games to go in our favour to have a good chance. Watford i believe still have Norwich, Newcastle & West Ham whilst West Ham Have Watford, Norwich & another couple of winnable games then of course the easiest of the lot against us on the last day. The biggy is Bournemouth v Newcastle this week. We so need the hosts to lose that as the rest of their games are on paper tougher, so would damage their confidence i reckon if they lost against at home v Brucie's lot. Was thinking the other day would we actually benefit if West Ham pulled clear and beat Norwich & Watford on the way? Then had no major need to beat us on the last day? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) By the time we've played Liverpool and Man Utd, West Ham will have played Chelsea, Newcastle, and Burnley, Watford will have played, Chelsea, and Norwich, Bournemouth play Newcastle, Man Utd, and Spurs, and Brighton Man Utd, Norwich, and Liverpool. If we're still with in touching distance after those games with everyone having four games left to play then I think we might have a chance, especially if we can at least put in fighing performances in our next two to bring some confidence back. You'd think that Watford will at least beat Norwich though, that will put them four points ahead of us, and West Ham could get three or four points from Newcastle and Burnley, they might even beat Chelsea with it being a derby. We really could do with getting a surprise win from the Man Utd game, a result like that from nowhere would really give us a fighting chance, other teams have been getting such results surely we must be due one.

I think even a Bournemouth v Newcastle draw would be a positive result. It's Bournemouth's easiest game left. I had not thought that about West ham, but it sure makes sense I guess. We only play west ham out of our rivals, so at least we won't be giving anyone else any points I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we went to Burnley and won whereas they lost there. It's easy to compare games like for like but it doesn't mean much. We aren't all going to get our points from the same place. I think the point originally was that the other teams actually look worse than we do at the beginning of this sham restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) We’ve lost to the 2 most inform teams in the league in Wolves and Chelsea. Palace and united are both in good form too. The form of the teams in our remaining fixtures is what is going to cost us. I’m just hoping Liverpool field a weak team to give us a slight chance.

Xela Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Palace (h) and Everton (a) are the 2 key games. We lose both of them and we're probably down before we play at West Ham on the lady day Liverpool (a) - L Man Utd (h) - L Palace (h) - W (it is a MUST WIN GAME) Everton (a) - D Arsenal (h) - L Wet Spam (a) - no idea! May be a another must win game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
