Richard Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 11 games to save our PL status IMO. How many points do you think we will take In alphabeticaly order (because it matters not when we play them) Arsenal away = Loss Bolton home = Draw Chelsea home = Loss Fulham home = draw Liverplop away = loss Manure away = loss Norwich away = loss Stoke home = Draw Monderland home = Loss Spurts home = Loss Boggies away = loss Pretty dismal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houlston Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 So in the remaining 11 games we are going to lose only 1 less than we've lost all season. And it often does matter when you play teams in what order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ads Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think we'll beat Fulham. There is a reason why out worst home record run its ninety years old. Probability will take care of its self. I'm glad its against Fulham, who have always been a soft touch away from home. From there its about how much confidence we can take from it into Bolton, who are as poor as anybody. I think Herd getting more games will help. He made a huge difference to the midfield yesterday. Pick up six points there, which we need to and will and then its a bonus from the next three. We're useful down at Arsenal, but they're in form. I would fancy a draw at least against Chelsea given the hold we have on them. Stoke are beatable as are Sunderland and Norwich, but I would not be shocked to see a defeat and a couple of draws out of those games. Man United will beat us as will Spurs. We'll go into the Albion game a under dogs, which is appalling. Anything could happen there in a derby game. All in all, I think we'll end up on 39 to 42 points and be somewhere from 16th to 12th. Diabolical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Theres at least six draws for McLeish to salivate over in that little lot. After all, we are somewhat specialised in the art this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villarocker Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 5 draws and 6 defeats for me. I was extremely confident of picking up 4 points from the last two games. Instead, we picked up 2 and a serious injury to our most prolific goalscorer! These last two games have drained me of the belief that we are about to (or capable of) turn a corner. As poor as Fulham and Bolton are on the road, I still cannot find a reason to think that we will win either. Therefore, I reckon we will get 2 points from them before going on a run of very poor results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Lerwill Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Arsenal away = loss Bolton home = draw Chelsea home = draw Fulham home = draw Liverplop away = loss Manure away = loss Norwich away = draw Stoke home = draw Monderland home = loss Spurts home = loss Boggies away = loss 5 draws = 5 points. Perhaps a surprise win against someone instead of one of those draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I thought Wigan and Blackburn were nailed on wins. They don't come any easier from now until the end of the season, Bolton away aside. I foresee a shitload of draws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie_villa Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Arsenal away = Lose Bolton home = Win Chelsea home = Draw Fulham home = Win Liverplop away = Lose Manure away = Lose Norwich away = Draw Stoke home = Draw Monderland home = Draw Spurts home = Lose Boggies away = Draw 11 more points, finish on 41 points... BUT... it does matter when we play them. Last season Pool and Arsenal's seasons were over when we played them last two games and we won both of them. So when we play West Brom 3rd last game they may be safe, we'll have more to play for so that could easily be a win. Same with Norwich last day of the season.

Moderator OutByEaster? Posted March 4, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 4, 2012 I think four more points will keep us up. We might surprise ourselves and be safe sooner rather than later - whichever, I think there are enough fixtures there for us to find those points somewhere.

villabromsgrove Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'd be amazed if three of the very poor teams below us gain enough points to relegate us. I don't think that Villa will pick up many points from the last 11 games, but fortunately we may not have to. Sad state of affairs isn't it.

I would be amazed at any more than that if we stay up it will be by default as there are truley some terrible teams this year. If he stays and manages to bring in some of his own players i dread to think whta might happen next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
