VillaJ100 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 (edited) Just a mere 17 points above and 2 points more than the relegation record points total with 9 to play. Got to watch ourselves here lads Edited April 4 by VillaJ100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Really hard to call. First time I think Leicester are at serious risk. They have some quality players so it is a surprise but their form has been horrendous. Currently, I’d go Southampton, Bournemouth and Forest. Think Leicester and Wolves could be otherwise lost at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Leicester don't really seem to have any fight in them at the moment. They were pretty tame tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Leicester play Bournemouth Saturday. Things will look different if they win that and we beat forest. Thought the game tonight was closely fought. The red card changed everything . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Even if Leicester beat Bournemouth at best they will be one point above the relegation zone with Man CIty to come next, and them beating Bournemouth not a foregone conclusion, considering Bournemouth haven't been in bad form and Leicester have the worst home record in the league other than Southampton. One win doesn't change much for teams in the relegaton battle, as they all seem to be winning and losing games so not much changes other than them swapping positions from week to the next, but points between them remains close, if any of them want to pull away have to put a run of wins together.

Would be a good appointment but harsh on cooper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted April 5 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 5 points between 19th and 12th with less than 10 games to go. I have no idea who is going down. Apart from Soton. They are f***ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted April 5 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 (edited) My gut feeling is those who want Leeds, West Ham, Everton, Wolves and Palace to drop will be disappointed. I think it’s going to be between Southampton (looking gone), Forest, Leicester and Bournemouth. Certainly from a neutral view I hope I’m wrong and that the majority stay in contention going into May. But I’d be more worried if I was a supporter of one of the clubs listed in the second paragraph. My gut feeling is often wrong admittedly.

rubberman Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Southampton and Forest pretty much done now looking at their remaining games. Too tough to call the final spot. Hope it goes to the final day with 5 or 6 still in the mix. Will make for great viewing from up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances there - but they're the only side slightly cut adrift so definitely a hard slog out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKP90 Posted April 5 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5 So lots of possibles for the drop, but who would we actually LIKE to see go down? For me it would be Leeds, Leicester, and Wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 For me I'd like it to be Everton, West Ham and Leicester. Maximum drama and a big change. But again, I don't think it will be any of those either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't dislike them overall but it would be dramatic and very intriguing if they went down (And I do appreciate that the vile, agressive Everton fans I was sat very near at VP in 2012 were just a small minority of their fanbase). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 West Ham, Everton, Forest, and Bournemouth all on twenty-seven points as it stands. West Ham's fixtures look tricky as their coming games that you would are winnable like Fulham, Bournemouth, and Palace are away from home, and their home fixtures are against the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, and Man Utd, those and a game against Leeds United are their only home games left, so probably going to have to pick up some away points. And just looked it up, they have the joint worst away record in the league, six points and one win all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
