I'm convinced you could put a League 2 team in the PL and they'd get more points than that. Even in the 15/16 season, where we only got 17 points total for the entire season, we had 4 points after 10 games. Even Huddersfield, who only totalled 16 points in 18/19, had 3 points after 10 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 West Brom had to win that one really to have a shot of staying up although they were clinging on at the end big time. Reminds me of the 1-0 we had v Norwich on Boxing day. Sheffield united need 10 wins from 28 to give them even a chance of staying up so probably going to have to go on better winning run than at any point last season. They've left themselves too much to do already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until they learn to aim. Mousset's miss at the end was frankly shocking. I could've scored that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but it would be more worrying if they weren’t even creating chances. Even after such a bad start they are only 5 points from safety. Im just glad we’re not down there!

Even then, Fulham look considerably more likely to stay up, and that's saying a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarly Newcastle dropped from 5th to 16th after Alan Pardew got Manager of the Year. West Ham were relegated (18th) in 2003 after finishing 7th the year before.

Delphinho123 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I can’t see us going down this season with Burnley, Albion, Fulham and Sheff Utd playing the way they are. We’d have to go on a 10-15 game losing streak for one of these teams to climb above us. I can’t see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Sheff U look a lot better than 1 point to me, mad they've only scored four. They should have had four last night! Everyone getting away from them though. Been looking for a while like it's three from four and Burnley have danced this dance many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester were actually in the bottom 3 when they sacked Ranieri and that was late Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomav84 Posted November 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted November 29, 2020 tipped sheff utd and burnley to be right down there this season and actually fancy baggies to stay up. the aforementioned 2 plus fulham to go for me. i think sheff utd's piss poor transfer dealings will cost them. still flabbergasted that they only paid 2m less for ramsdale than we did for emi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 A Fulham win tomorrow could make things interesting, suddenly the midtable clubs would be only eight points clear of the bottom three and all it would take is for one of them to go on a bad run and for one of the bottom four to pick up some form. This time last season Bournemouth were eight points clear of the bottom three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they do have quite the collection of crap strikers so it's not surprising they're not great infront of goal. Couple that with a shit goal keeper and you have a team in trouble.
