StewieGriffin Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) So looking at that points list, they need more than as many points from 21 games as they currently have managed from 25 to even have a hope of staying up... They have 20 from 25 now - 45 looks like the rough average, so minimum 25 from 21 - I doubt 45 points will be enough either, given that teams are on 24/25 already. They really can't afford to not win many games now. Start the car... Edited January 2, 2018 by StewieGriffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Didn't even realise they were rock bottom and adrift of safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 They basically need nine wins to give them a chance, there are only 20 games left. It's pretty much a 50% win ratio. For a team that dosen't score more than one goal a game and have just two away points all season I'd say it's very remote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted January 2, 2018 I wonder if they still think they'll finish above us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "mind the gap" joke they made last year when they were above us for about 5 minutes really has backfired on them hasn't it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I really think tonight is a 'must win' in the real sense. It's hard to see them getting the wins required without it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to see them getting the wins required without it. A draw would do for me as I wan them to keep the manager for a little while yet. End of Jan or thereabouts is ideal, it might be too late even if they get the new manager upturn thing at that point. The wage bill + the 16 Million loss already last year will kill them off hopefully. Just had 2 euros of Small heath to win 0-1 just in case they try to be words removed.

You got to hope so, I still think Sunderland will do something after January as well, and Burton are 9 points from 15 at the moment , small heath can't even deal with them currently in the league and I thought Burton would be gone by now.

VillaChris Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Bolton have been on an incredible run for three months now which helps. Mad to think Hull and Sunderland could both be relegated two years in a row. I thought both would struggle but not this much. Just shows you can make all the money in the world from premier league TV deals but if you're horribly run you won't be challenging in this league.

Genie Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) I was wondering if I could bet on them not to get relegated? That way it’s a win/win scenario for me. Edited January 2, 2018 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roonst83 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 They won’t go down I don’t think. They have some decent players (Gallagher, Jota etc) and I think Sunderland and Burton will be the bottom two with the third from bototm up for grabs. They also seem to do well against the better teams in the league. If they start beating the teams around them then he’ll be comfortable, I feel.

pacbuddies Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 This season has to be third time lucky and sees them get relegated. They have survived by the skin of their teeth the last couple of seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
