Guest michaelfoster Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Obviously the target this season is survival and 40 points, we now have 25 points so 40 points should be achievable Key Games No fixtures allowed - we don't have the requisite IP rights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chubby Jason Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I don't think we'll even need that many. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keefaz Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I wouldn't say points against Liverpool, Villa or Chelsea were an impossibility at this point, like. I'd say points at Villa are nailed on, tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 There isnt even a slight chance that the likes of Wolves will get to 39/40 points. I reckon it will be similar to when we went down, in and around the 35 mark. I would like to think we are safe being effectively 7 points clear as well. West Ham on Wednesday is massive. Win it and we are safe imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 We might not need that much, but looking ahead, I'd say by early April we will be safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest michaelfoster Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I don't think we'll even need that many. True but id rather we had 40 points by the beginning of April, as i think if were in and around the 40 point and relegation area its gonna be a very nervous end to the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 for a lot of the teams below us, they're going to need to win or draw more than 50% of their remaining games to get to that paint. I think we will be fine with around 35, even. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 bit tight this season - the AVERAGE needed to avoid the drop in the 38 game PL has been 36 but the range for the relegated team in 18th place is 30-42 I reckon we need at least 42 to be safe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think we'll struggle to get 40 myself. It will be very close between a number of sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sicko2ndbest Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think we have 5 more wins in our locker looking at the fixtures Barring Chelsea we have played all the top 7 away The only games i would expect us to struggle and be big underdogs for are the Arsenal, Spurs, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea reverse fixtures Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicago_shearer Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I think this will end up being like the 2002-2003 season. Two teams eventually fall away and then 3 or 4 left fighting to avoid the last spot and needing a relatively high point total to do so (40+). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 bit tight this season - the AVERAGE needed to avoid the drop in the 38 game PL has been 36 but the range for the relegated team in 18th place is 30-42 I reckon we need at least 42 to be safe Last season had two teams relegated on 30 points at 18/19. Considering the way the league has been going recently with bottom teams, I doubt we're going to need anymore than 35. I'd be interested to look at the table at this point in the season from years passed and see where relegated teams are at. Like I mentioned earlier, if the 13-20 at the moment want to get to the 40 point mark this season they're going to need to win or draw more than 50% of the rest of their games. There's almost no way one of those teams do, let alone a majority of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The_Scoreboard Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 At this time during our relegation season we only had 3 points less, 20 games - 22points and in 14th will admit things are looking better than then but still not getting excited till we have 35+ with a few games left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
