IrishVilla10 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 There has to be a huge push for 10th now. This season could still end very well. No excuses after the week off either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 We're six points off Newcastle in nineth place But we've got two games in hand Their next two are Liverpool and Man City Whilst we play Norwich and Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 It doesn't matter which game is called 'our game in hand', you could just as easily say that our game in hand is Norwich, or Burnley, or Palace, or Man City, the point is we've got two extra games than them from which to get points. Their last four games are Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, and Burnley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Think we’ll do well to hit 45 points now but not sure where we’ll finish with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 As it stands we are 6 points behind Newcastle and Brighton who are 9th and 10th if Brighton win this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Leicester still got likes of Norwich and Everton to play at home. Palace got Leeds at home tomorrow and think they've also got Watford at home and Southampton who are properly on the beach. And Man. United. Very slim prospect of finishing top 10 imo, only got the mentality of this club to blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I know some might have wanted Leeds to lose, I wouldn't have minded it myself, but not a bad result for us today Palace drawing, a game they could have easily won, but as it is they're just one point ahead of us, whilst we have a game in hand over them and also have to play them at home. Palace and Southampton play each other this weekend, whatever the result we will overtake one of them as long as we beat Norwich, would also go above Brentford if they lose away to Man Utd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 (edited) We can't be getting less than 8 points, ideally we get 10 or 12. Beating Palace is important at VP Newcastle could easily get just one or maybe two points from remaining games. Liverpool, City and Arsenal before away to Burnley in last game. Three wins for us should see is end ahead of them. Edited April 26, 2022 by CVByrne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Very much within our abilities to get 8-9 points from the remaining games and get to 10th. It means relying also on other results but we are just as likely to finish around closer to the top half than not. We can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picicata Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I think we'll get another 7 points so 44 in total. Not sure where we will finish with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the diabolical and farcical pre-season, the terrible start, losing Grealish and changing manager, 12th or 13th wouldn’t be a disaster all things considered. Hoping for better of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get 9 points I think we can get ahead of Newcastle who will struggle to get anything more than 2 points with Liverpool, City and Arsenal to play before away to Burnley last game. Palace will get 5 or 6. Assuming we beat them, we end ahead of them even if they get 8. Southampton maybe get 5 to 7. Touch and go if we get above them. Brentford maybe up to 6 points. Could be ahead on goal diff Brighton will probably get 6 or more which has them end above us. Leicester too So realistically 9 points to get us 11th or 12th. If we can get 10 it'll be a bonus.

lexicon Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 From what I remember posting at the beginning of the season, a top half finish was the minimum acceptable outcome from this season. It's now best case scenario. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CVByrne Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 If we get 8 or 9 points from our remaining games we'll end 9th in the points table since Gerrard took over. Which is okish. Would mean Newcastle, Wolves and the big 6 ahead of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
